to it as African Flower pattern

So, here it is:

1st Round: Chain 5 stitches and join with slip stitch to form a ring.

2nd Round: Chain 3 (count as first dc), 1 dc in ring, (1 chain stitch, 2 db in ring) 5 times, 1 chain stitch,

join with slip stitch to first dc (6 shells).

3rd Round: Join next colour and crochet in each of the 6 chain spaces: (2 dc, 1 chain stitch, 2dc). Join

with slip stitch to first dc.

4th Round: Join next colour and crochet 7 dc in each of the 6 chain spaces. Join with slip stitch to first dc.

5th Round: Join next colour and crochet 1 sc in each of the next 7 dc, except between the 2 dc of the

third row where you do a dc which you join to the 3rd round in order to form the petal - (7 sc and 1 dc) 6

times.

6th Round: Join next colour and crochet 1 dc in each sc, except for the middle of each petal where youcrochet (1 dc,1 sc, 1dc) in each petal. Tie off.

*dc: double crochet, sc: single crochet

African Flower Hexagon Crochet Tutorial

Hello friends :)

Today I am doing a tutorial on the African Flower Crochet hexagon.I recently joined a Ravelrygroup

swap, and really have enjoyed making these hexagons...so I thought I would share a tutorial! This

pattern was originally published in a South African magazine, and the designers are Lounette Fourie

and Anita Roussouw.

You will need several colours of yarn

and a size 5mm crochet hook.

Start by making a slip knot, and make

5 chain stitches.

Slip stitch into the first chain, to

make a ring. If you are not sure how to do this, please look atthispost.

Chain 3 (this will form the first dc).

Make a dc into the ring. Your work

should look like the pic above.

Chain 1.

Make 2 dc into the ring. You should

now have 4 dc's separated by a chain stitch.

Repeat, until you have six x (2dc,

ch,2dc) sets.

Slip stitch into the third chain of your

initial 3chain, made at the beginning of the round.

Cut yarn, join a new colour.

Insert hook into the space just to the

right of the 3ch leg from the previous round. Yarn around hook, pull yarn through, ch3.

1dc into the same space.

6/25

Ch1 and the make 2dc into the same

space again. Your work should look like the pic above.

Repeat the previous steps into the

next chain space from the previous round, as seen above.

Continue with these repeats until

you have six sets of 2dc,ch1,2dc.

Join to the third chain stitch with a

slip stitch, to close the round.

Insert your hook into the space

created by the chain stitch between the 2dc 's, as seen above.

Round joined...

8/25

Chain 3. This again is taking the place

of the first dc, and you count it as 1 dc stitch.

Make 6 further dc into the same

space. There should be 7 dc's...

9/25

Repeat the same into each space, as

above.

Join round by slip stitch (getting the

hang of this :) )

Cut yarn, and join new colour.

10/25

Insert hook into the first chain stitch

space, yarn around hook, pull yarn through. Yarn around hook again, pull through the stitch on the

hook.

You have made the first sc into the

first chain loop.

11/25

Repeat 6 times more (sc into every

successive chain loop, until there are 7 sc in total).

You will now do a dc , into the 3rd

round space as seen in the pic.This will make a very long dc stitch, but will help to shape the flower

petal.

12/25

Continue to work you way around

the hexagon...7sc, dc, 7sc, dc etc, until you get back to the beginning...as always, join the round by slip

stitch into the first sc.

Cut yarn and join a new colour.

Chain 3.

13/25

Dc into the next loop of the sc you

made in the previous round. Repeat until you have 4dc made.

You will now have reached the

middle of the top of the flower petal. Ch1, then make another dc into the same space as the previous dc.

It is this chain that helps to form the hexagon shape.

14/25

I have marked the middle stitch with

a pink dot, so that you can clearly see where the dc,ch,dc has to be made, over each petal. Work your

way around the hexagon, working in the above pattern.

Join the last dc to the 3rd chain of

the beginning leg, as in the previous rounds.

15/25

If you prefer, you can add another

round in a different colour. This extra round is worked in exactly the same way as the previous round,

again making a dc,ch1,dc, over the middle of the petal...

Hope this makes sense...

Have a great evening!

Lots of Love,

Heidi :)

Crochet Tutorial: Chain Stitch and Single Crochet

Today I have prepared the first in series of tutorials that I plan to do. I have decided to start with crochet

because it is so quick and easy to learn. I will be posting a "Mystery Project" in the next couple of weeks,

something that you will put together quite simply, and in the process learn the skills needed to go ontosomething more complex :)
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47HpXabUAI/AAAAAAAAANM/9yfZ213StKE/s1600-h/SC+Step+1.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S_GKFjhBpTI/AAAAAAAABN8/WC2uCfObRCY/s1600/35.jpghttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47HpXabUAI/AAAAAAAAANM/9yfZ213StKE/s1600-h/SC+Step+1.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S_GKFjhBpTI/AAAAAAAABN8/WC2uCfObRCY/s1600/35.jpg

Step 1. You will start by making a slipknot. It's really very easy...just follow the pics as shown!

Step 2. By pulling the loop through the circle of yarn you made in step 1, you will be forming the big

loose open beginnings of a slipknot.

Step 3. Place your crochet needle into the knot as shown. When you pull the length of yarn that you will

be working with (ie NOT the tail), the whole knot will shrink nicely to fit your needle. Don't make it

overtight!

17/25

Step 4. Voila! a single stitch is born...

Step 5. How you hold the yarn, needle etc is a matter of personal taste and what feels comfortable for

you. I do it as shown in the pic above and below. First, wrap the working yarn around your little finger.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47DeLVfuLI/AAAAAAAAAMs/16zhJ5Tmg9E/s1600-h/SC+Step+4.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47EwuVHIAI/AAAAAAAAAM0/Cu6RQAXm86I/s1600-h/SC+Step+3.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47DeLVfuLI/AAAAAAAAAMs/16zhJ5Tmg9E/s1600-h/SC+Step+4.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47EwuVHIAI/AAAAAAAAAM0/Cu6RQAXm86I/s1600-h/SC+Step+3.jpg


18/25

Step 6. Bring the woroing yarn around to the front again, and gently close your little finger as well as

your ring finger. You should have a bit of tension, but allow the yarn to move fairly easily.

Step 7. Closing the fingers...
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47BIdE2eQI/AAAAAAAAAMc/zWgn92bwhMk/s1600-h/SC+Step+6.jpghttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47CKbDLK2I/AAAAAAAAAMk/xK2RdB0EfwA/s1600-h/SC+Step+5.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47BIdE2eQI/AAAAAAAAAMc/zWgn92bwhMk/s1600-h/SC+Step+6.jpghttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S47CKbDLK2I/AAAAAAAAAMk/xK2RdB0EfwA/s1600-h/SC+Step+5.jpg


19/25

Step 8. I extend my middle finger, so that the working yarn has an open area that I can easily hook with

the crochet hook. It looks really odd, I know, but it works... :)

Step 9. Now, take the hook BEHIND the working yarn as show, you are preparing to pull it through the

stitch on the crochet hook, thereby creating a new chain stitch.

20/25

Step 10. Preparing to pull the working yarn throughhhhhh...

Step 11. New chain stitch formed...yay!
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S469b6hKjGI/AAAAAAAAAL8/RNhvUMNeRfY/s1600-h/SC+Step+10.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S4690UeeL8I/AAAAAAAAAME/nPI10I2vdRg/s1600-h/SC+Step+9.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S469b6hKjGI/AAAAAAAAAL8/RNhvUMNeRfY/s1600-h/SC+Step+10.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnDeMDOI4Fc/S4690UeeL8I/AAAAAAAAAME/nPI10I2vdRg/s1600-h/SC+Step+9.jpg


21/25

Step 12. Keep repeating the same procedure to creat new chain stitches :)

Step 13. Once you have several chain stitches, it may be easier to hold the chain stitch tail as shown, to

control the crochet that is growing.

Step 14. See....nice little chainy...

Step 15. Keep making chain stitches until you have about 10 stitches or so on the chain.

When counting stitches made in crochet, you NEVER count the stitch that is ON the hook. So, if you

need to chain 10 stitches, you will have 10 forming the chain, AND one on the hook.

Step 16. You're now going to learn how to do a Single Crochet stitch, also abbreviated as "sc" in

patterns. When you "turn the chain around" (which you haven't yet done...so don't panic about that!),

you need to "skip" one or more stitches before putting the hook into the next working space. This is to

allow a small bit of height at the beginning of the row, so your crochet doesn't look lop-sided. Thenumber of stitches that you will skip, so to speak, will vary, depending on what crochet stitch you are

doing next.

Don't be too concerned right now, it will make sense as you learn the stitches. Suffice to say that for the

sc we are going to do now, as a rule of thumb, you will skip one stitch. Have a look at the pic above...it

might clarify things...

Step 17. Put the hook through the stitch as shown in Step 16, and wrap the yarn around , exactly in the

same way as before, when you were doing the chain stitches.

Step 18. Pull the yarn through. You will now have TWO stitches on your hook...this is OK, you are going

to repeat wrapping the yarn around the hook AGAIN, and pull it through BOTH stitches.

Step 19. Wrapping yarn again...

Step 20. Pulling through both

stitches...

Step 21. Well done you have completed a Single Crochet stitch...in order to make more stitches, you just

repeat the steps above, but next placing your crochet hook into the stitch to the left of the sc you have

just completed. See pic below.
