Crochet Pingpang Flower Tutorial

Here is a tutorial on crocheting a "Ping Pang flower," which adds texture and uniqueness to your flower bouquet. The video covers the entire process from petals to leaves, including a detailed explanation of each crochet round, and offers tips for assembling the flower parts. Here is how the tutor crocheted interesting petals and other video notes:

The tutor starts by crocheting a sphere. Then she attaches yarn on the back top and chain 8 to form a petal. Slip stitch into the next space to secure it. Repeat this process for each petal around the flower.
The tutor will also use a long wire, wrap yarn around tightly, and then secure it using hot glue.
Within the leaf, the tutor inserts craft wire for stability.

Stitches Needed

Several foundational stitches are needed to crochet this ping pang flower amigurumi:

Chain Stitch (ch): Creates the foundation for petals and leaves. Yarn over the hook, then pull the yarn through the loop on the hook.
Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds, secure petals, and finish the work. For this, insert the hook into the specified stitch, yarn over, and pull the yarn through both the stitch and the loop on the hook in one motion.
Single Crochet (sc): To do this, insert the hook into the specified stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (two loops on the hook), yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook.
Increasing (inc): Crocheting it involves, working two single crochet stitches into the same stitch or space.
Decreasing (dec): Single crochet two together (sc2tog) - Insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, insert the hook into the following stitch, yarn over, pull up another loop (three loops on hook), yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook.
Magic Ring: Used to start the flower’s base, creating a tight, adjustable center. You can watch it in the tutorial.
