Crochet Knitted Carnation //Flower Making
Crocheting a knitted carnation flower can be a delightful and rewarding project. Here’s a simple pattern to get you started:
Materials Needed:
- Worsted weight yarn in desired color for the petals (traditionally pink, but you can choose any color you like)
- Green yarn for the stem and leaves
- Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight (usually size G or H)
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Optional: floral wire or pipe cleaner for the stem to make it bendable
Pattern: Petals (Make 5):
Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Chain 1, then work 5 single crochet stitches into the ring. Pull the ring tight. (5 stitches)
Round 2: Chain 1, 2 single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. (10 stitches)
Round 3: Chain 2, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat from * to * around. You should have 5 chain loops. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Assembly:
- Flatten the petals slightly and arrange them in a circle, slightly overlapping, to form the carnation flower.
- Use the long tail from each petal to sew them together at the base, ensuring they are securely attached.
- Cut a small piece of green yarn and attach it to the center of the flower for the flower’s pistil. You can stitch it in or use a dab of glue to secure it.
- If you’re using floral wire or a pipe cleaner for the stem, twist it around the base of the flower. If not, you can simply crochet a chain in green yarn to create the stem.
- Optionally, crochet a few leaves using green yarn and attach them to the stem.
And there you have it! Your crocheted knitted carnation flower is complete. You can adjust the size and color of the flower by using different yarn weights and hook sizes. Experiment with different yarn textures and colors to create unique variations of the carnation. Enjoy your crafting!
