| This is my first attempt at a tutorial. Doilies are a very popular design in the paper crafting world today and crochet flowers have been showing up everywhere. I bought a package at Michaels and set out to re-create them. I use a Size 3 Metal Crochet Hook and Number 5 DMC Pearle Cootton. I like the Perle Cotton because it is available in a wide range of colours and the ball size is small. I don't have large balls around that I have only used a few yards off. Here goes... 1. Chain 4. ![Crochet Flowers 00120](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/th/00120.jpg) 2. Join to form ring. Slip stitch in first chain stitch. ![Crochet Flowers 00213](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/th/00213.jpg) 3. Chain 3, 13 Double Crochet into the circle. This makes a total of 14 around the circle. Slip stitch into top of chain 3. ![Crochet Flowers 00310](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/th/00310.jpg) 4. Chain 3, Slip stitch into first double crochet, *Chain 3 slip, skip next double crochet, slip stitch in the next* Repeat 5 more times. Slip Stitch in base of chain three. This makes the bases for 7 petals. (there is one petal for every 3 DC.) ![Crochet Flowers 00412](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/th/00412.jpg) 5. Slip Stitch into Chain 3 Base for Petal. *1 Half Double Crochet. 8 Double Crochet, 1 Half Double Crochet ( This makes 1 Petal.) Slip Stitch into next Petal base. * Repeat 6 times. ![Crochet Flowers 00511](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/th/00511.jpg) 6. Slip into the base of first petal. Secure your ends. Here is a pic of a few that I have made. ![Crochet Flowers 00610](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/00610.jpg) This is a LO that I did with a smaller version. ![Crochet Flowers 00711](https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/08/09/88/00711.jpg) Enjoy!!! Thanks for the challenge and hope this is something you will try. | |

| So pretty! I cannot crochet with tiny threads - or tiny hooks for that matter - I think it might be related to age! LOL
You rocked those! Awesome job. | |

| Thanks, ladies.
The number 5 Perle Cotton is not real small, it is about the thickness of 6 strands of embroidery floss. There are several sizes of the Perle Cotton and it comes in a lot of the same colours as floss. I have not tried the floss because I thought it would probaly catch in the hook. | |

| It's a great tutorial Linda. Your layout is so pretty. Lovely colors and very delicate. I intend to make some crochet flowers but last time I tried I found out I need to re-teach myself how to crochet. | |

I used #5 DMC Perle Cotton. It comes in a lot of the same colurs as floss but is the same thickness and is a twisted strand. | |

Same here! DH thinks I never knew how in the first place and that all the "old" test squares I have for stuff were made by someone else...lol. Yes, you can forget how to crochet/knit after 20+ years! | |
