  Step 1

  I STARTED WITH A 4.00 MM CROCHET HOOK (AUSTRALIAN), 2 100 GRAM BALLS OF SOFT TOUCH KOALA MYRTLE 8 PLY YARN, 1 100GRAM BALL OF CARNIVAL 8 PLY YARN AND A PAIR OF SCISSORS

  just the koala yarn for flowers

• 

  Step 2

  KOALA MYRTLE YARN IS VERY SOFT AND FLEXIBLE ($1.20 PER BALL)

  CARNIVAL IS A STIFFER YARN ($3.26 PER BALL)

  I find the softer yarn makes a prettier flower but its up to you what you use

• 

  Step 3

  1 4.00 MM CROCHET HOOK

  SOMETHING TO CLIP YARN

• 

  Step 4

  TO MAKE THE FLOWER:

  MAKE A MAGIC CIRCLE
  (IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW YOUTUBE CAN SHOW YOU)

• 

  Step 5

  MAKE SURE THE TAIL IS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF INCHES LONG AS YOU WILL NEED THE ROOM IN THE RING AND TO TIE OFF THE END

• 

  Step 6

  CHAIN 4 THIS WILL BE CLASSED AS YOUR FIRST TRIPPLE CROCHET

• 

  Step 7

  MAKE A TRIPPLE CROCHET INTO THE MAGIC CIRCLE.
  START BY WRAPPING THE YARN AROUND YOUR HOOK TWICE

• 

  Step 8

  PUT HOOK THROUGH MAGIC CIRCLE AND PICK UP A LOOP OF YARN PULL IT THROUGH MAGIC CIRCLE FORMING 4 LOOPS ON HOOK

• 

  Step 9

  WRAP YARN AROUND HOOK MAKING 5 LOOPS ON HOOK

• 

  Step 10

  PULL YARN THROUGH FIRST 2 LOOPS LEAVING 3 LOOPS ON HOOK

• 

  Step 11

  WRAP YARN AROUND HOOK AGAIN FORMING 4 LOOPS

• 

  Step 12

  PULL THROUGH FIRST 2 LOOPS AGAIN LEAVING 2 LOOPS

  SORRY PICS ARE A BIT FUZZY OLD CAMERA

• 

  Step 13

  WRAP YARN ONE MORE TIME AROUND HOOK TO FORM 3 LOOPS

• 

  Step 14

  PULL YARN THROUGH ALL LOOPS LEAVING 1 LOOP ON HOOK
  THIS IS YOUR TRIPPLE CROCHET FINISHED

• 

  Step 15

  REPEAT YOUR TRIPPLE CROCHET UNTILL YOU HAVE MADE 5 INCLUDING YOUR 4 CHAIN AS YOUR FIRST ONE

• 

  Step 16

  CHAIN 4

• 

  Step 17

  TURN YOUR WORK SO THE BACK IS FACING YOU

  NOTE THAT THE 4 CHAIN IN THE FIRST ROW IS TO YOUR FAR LEFT

• 

  Step 18

  TRIPPLE CROCHET INTO 2ND HOLE IN TOP OF LAST ROW YOU SHOULD EASILY SEE IT THEN REPEAT TRIPPLE CROCHET INTO THAT HOLE AND NEXT ONE AS WELL

• 

  Step 19

  TURN WORK BACK SO FRONT IS FACING YOU IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

• 

  Step 20

  NOW THIS CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY FOR SOME

  FOLD WHERE THE FIRST AND SECOND ROWS MEET TO THE BACK OF YOUR WORK

  THEN SLIP STITCH ONTO THE MAGIC CIRCLE ON THE FAR LEFT SIDE OF YOUR WORK

  MAKE SURE THE SLIP STICH IS FAIRLY TIGHT

  THIS FORMS YOUR FIRST PETAL

• 

  Step 21

  CHAIN 4
  THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF YOUR NEXT PETAL

• 

  Step 22

  REPEAT THE PETALS UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED 8

  AFTER LAST SLIP STICH TO LEFT OF WORK CUT YARN WITH A 1 INCH OR SO TAIL

  PULL YARN THROUGH LOOP AGAIN

• 

  Step 23

  CLOSE MAGIC CIRCLE AS TIGHTLY AS YOU CAN WORKING THE PETAL SO YOU CLOSE THE CENTRE HOLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

  BE CAREFULL NOT TO SNAP YOUR YARN

  TIE OFF

• 

  Step 24

  FINISHED FLOWER

  YOU CAN USE THIS FLOWER ANY WAY YOU WISH

• 

  Step 25

  YOU WILL NEED 17 FLOWERS FOR THE HAND BAG

  (YES I KNOW THERE IS NOT 17 IN THE PIC STILL HAVE A FEW TO MAKE)

  THE NEXT HOW TO WILL SHOW HOW THE FLOWERS WILL BE MADE INTO GRANNY SQARES
