  Step 1

  Although it is winter, I love adding a little color to it.
  Decide on your choice of flowers for this. You need green for the foundation and other (an assortment of) colors for the flowers.

  For this project I used mercerized cotton and adequate hook.

  The label on the yarn always has recommendation for hook sizes. For this project I used a 1.9mm hook.

• 

  Step 2

  Make a long chain as the foundation.
  Chain 150 stitches.

• 

  Step 3

  When you get to the end chain 2 more, turn work and make dc in the second ch from hook. Make dc in every stitch until the end.

• 

  Step 4

  When you come to the end, don't finish it. You are going to make a loop.

• 

  Step 5

  For the loop, chain 9, make a slip stitch to join the loop with the main body of the foundation, turn work and crochet in the opposite direction, single crocheting to fill the loop.

• 

  Step 6

  Here it is all worked down. When you come to the end, make a sl st. Cut yarn, tie a knot and weave the tail.

• 

  Step 7

  For the closure you may add a bead, a button or crochet button.
  I crocheted mine.

  For the button in the picture, I chained 4, made a sl st in the last to make a ring, crocheted 4 sc in the ring, continued by making a sc in every stitch for 2-3 rows.

  View from above.

  Step 8

  View from the side.

• 

  Step 9

  Next the flowers.

  Pattern for the flowers:
  Ch 4 and join with sl st to make ring.
  Round 1: 4 sc in ring, sl st with last sc to join
  Round 2: *ch 4, 2tr, ch 4, sl st* in same stitch
  Repeat round 2 for all 5 petals, but start the 2nd (and consequently the others by making a sl st in the new petal prior to making the ch4)

  Cut yarn, weave ends.

  Pattern for tiny leaves:

  Ch 6
  Row 1: ch 1, 1 hdc in first chain from hook, 1 dc, 1 tc, 1 dc, 1 hdc
  You may end here. If you want to make a twin leave just chain 3 more and chain the leave pattern again. When you finish with the second leaf, cut it out,secure it, tie a knot and weave ends.

  Step 10

  Isn't it lovely!

  Attach the leaves to the flowers, and the whole set to the foundation and you are done!

  You may work on your arrangement / design to suit your fancy!

  Your gift will certainly be appreciated!
