A small product is easy to knit, the successful result will undoubtedly please you, and you will want to try to create more and more wonderful products from “magic loops”. Flowers – a wonderful gift of nature. They entered the life of mankind from the very beginning of its existence. At first, flowers were not so much decoration as they were used for rituals and religious ceremonies. Many deities of the ancient pantheons had flowers dedicated only to them, beautiful roses, capricious lotuses. Our ancestors believed in the magical powers of certain plants. On the night of Ivan Kupala, they looked for a blooming fern, in order to find a treasure, they kept a clover flower with a certain number of leaves, believing that it would certainly bring good luck. Flowers were widely used, and are still used today, in perfumery. Aromatic oils, soaps, perfumes and much more are created from delicate petals. And of course flowers – wonderful decoration. Chic bouquets in vases will add even more solemnity to any holiday. A gazebo covered with flowers will be a great place for relaxation or a romantic date. There are a great many uses for flowers; they can serve as a wonderful gift for any celebration, and, of course, bouquets have long become a symbol of recognition of men's wrongs and apologies. Be it magnificent and bright or modest and discreet, flowers are so beautiful that people have always wanted to preserve their elusive beauty. Therefore, jewelers, sculptors, artists, all craftsmen pay tribute to these gifts of nature in their creative works. Flowers are painted, sculpted from clay, carved from marble and wood, woven from beads, embroidered and knitted. And if only a professional jeweler can make a gold flower decoration, then anyone can crochet it. You will need to put in a little effort, patience, read the tips of our club in this article, and also view detailed master classes with step-by-step photos, and you will definitely be able to make your own masterpiece. First, you need to decide what exactly the flower will be intended for. Conventionally, they can be divided into flat and volumetric. The latter can be attached to artificial stems and used as an element of room decor. Such a bouquet in a vase will not fade and will delight you with bright colors for a long time. Volumetric flowers look great in the form of a brooch, they are attached to hairpins and hoops, and used as a finishing edging, decorating belts, hats or handbags.Flat flowers often act asa component element of the fabric or individual motifs, an example would be Irish lace or plaid. And of course, you can also use them to decorate blouses, dresses, bags, make a decoration in the form of a small flower for a child’s hat, or, by knitting several dozen tiny flowers, create a chic shawl or stole. Also, flat flowers will become excellent stands for cups or vases, and a ring of several products will serve as an original holder for curtains or a napkin ring. In general, only the imagination of the needlewoman creates frames in the use of colors.So, when with the purpose of the flowerdecided, it’s worth thinking about the characteristics of the yarn. Modern manufacturers produce hundreds of different thread options, from natural, artificial raw materials and mixed options. There are no significant arguments for or against any particular quality and composition of threads. It’s just worth remembering that if the product is intended to be worn on the body (for example, a blouse using the Irish weaving technique or a lace insert on a dress), preference should be given to yarn made from natural ingredients – cotton, silk. Volumetric flowers can be knitted from almost any thread. When creating a flower from cotton threads, the product can later be starched to give it the desired shape. To do this you need to mix 1 tbsp. l. starch with 1 glass of water, heat over the fire, without bringing to a boil, when the mass becomes jelly-like, cool, soak the petals and leaves of the flowers with this solution and leave until completely dry, after giving it the intended shape. If the flower is knitted from acrylic or other artificial yarn, it can be soaked in a mixture of PVA glue and water (1:1). Also, to create the correct contours, for example, for irises or orchids, a thin wire or fishing line is tied to the last row of petals. In order for the flowers to turn out as intended, you need to choose the right hook. Manufacturers indicate the hook number on the yarn label; if there is no information, just measure the diameter of the thread and the head of the hook at the thinnest point; if they match, then the hook is suitable. Another plus in favor of knitted flowers – training for beginners. Creating a small product with your own hands is quite simple; there are no loops or patterns in knitting flowers that are difficult to perform or understand. There is always a use for ready-made flowers. Below are some tutorials on how to create flowers.

When knitting the cast-on row begins, after the edge loop and the first Tunisian stitch, you need to make an addition by pulling a loop from the horizontal jumper between the stitches of the row below.
