This article will give a lesson on how to crochet flowers of poinsettia, a master class with photos
To knit a poinsettia flower,You will need: - red thread - green thread - a crochet hook that matches the thickness of the thread - red beads - monofilament - beading needle. How to proceed
First, you need to make a chain of 9 air loops.
Make one chain stitch. In the first chain stitch (the second from the hook), knit 1 single crochet.
In the second air loop knit twohalf-double crochet. Half-double crochet is done like this: one loop (working) on the hook, make a yarn over, pull the thread through the air loop of the chain (3 loops on the hook) and knit everything at once, with one loop.
In the third chain stitch we make one half-column.
From the fourth chain stitch, knit 2 double crochets, and from the fifth stitch, knit one double crochet.
From the sixth and seventh we knit double crochets. From the sixth - 2, from the seventh - 1.
From the eighth and ninth we knit columns with three yarns according to the same principle (from 8 - 2, from 9 - 1). The first petal is ready.
We return to the beginning of the petal with a “crayfish step”. We knit the loops of the “crayfish step” only in the front (closest to the hook) half loops.
The back half loops should remain free! This is important, because we will knit the second petal using them.
To start the second petal, make one chain stitch and knit a double crochet into the first half loop.
Next, we knit the petal exactly like the first one – 2 half double crochets, 1 half double crochet.
2 double crochets, 1 double crochet, 2 double crochets, 1 double crochet, 2 triple crochets, 1 triple crochet. And we return to the beginning of the flower with a crab step.
In this way you need to knit 10 petals.
We connect the 1st and 10th petals. To do this, we knit single crochets for the back half loops of the 10th petal and the air loops of the chain on which the first petal was knitted.
The result is a neat chain that will be covered with a “crayfish step”.
The flower itself is ready.
We close the middle of the flower with beads.
We knit leaves. To do this, we collect a chain of 15 air loops.
On one side we tie it completely with single crochet stitches.
We turn the knitting and continue knittingsingle crochet in the opposite direction. At the top of the leaflet, knit 3 single crochets from one loop. Turn the knitting, not reaching three loops to the end of the chain.
Again we tie the leaf with single crochets. We turn the knitting, also, without reaching three loops to the end (at the same level as the top of the leaf opposite).
We knit with single crochet stitches along the arc,unfold the knitting, again, without reaching three loops to the edge. Knit the leaflet according to this principle (without reaching three loops to the edge in each row) to the required size. Finish knitting at the bottom of the leaflet (where the increases were made).
Let's make two more leaves.
We steam all 4 pieces (flower and 3 leaves) and sew them together.
