I made these flowers using Perle cotton threads and because they are rainbow flowers, I picked rainbow colours.
1. First rainbow colour, cast on 6 chain stitches using magic ring cast on. Leave a 10cm tail, cut.
2. Next round, make 6 petals using the different rainbow colours.
Colour 2, in the first stitch, *Chain 2, 1 half double crochet, 3 trebles, 1 half double crochet, Chain 2, slip stitch*
Repeat the * to * for the remaining 5 stitches in the different colours.
Leave at least 15cm tail after each colour
At the last petal, make a slip stitch in the first chain of the first petal. Leave a 20cm tail and bind off.
Now weave in all the tails but leave one cause you might want to stitch it on something else or make a big loop to so you an hang it up somewhere.
Any questions with my pattern, just ask!
Sharing the stitchy rainbow love...
Hi Manda,
ReplyDeleteI do love those flowers, how clever! A good choice in using
the perle cotton and just love how bright the colours are. The
little touches on our projects really make them a bit more cool.
Cheers, Anita.
Thanks Anita, I know I love the shiny look of perle cotton and I happen to have all rainbow colours :)
DeleteYour flowers are amazing! I wouldn't even think of making one with sooo many beautiful colours :) Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much December :) it all started with me trying to work out how to make a rainbow for the two amigurumi bears I called Sunshine and Lollipops. Then an idea of making something with the rainbow colours. Then when I was staring into space, I realised that flowers have petals and I can make as many as I want! So ding ding ding ding! That's how they came about! :)
DeleteI just looked at your blog and I love the your amigurumi drop!! Very cute... Do you have a Facebook page? Anyway I will follow your blog now!
Thanks again for coming back my blog!
Wow, such cute story behing it :) I'm sure you'll find many more things that can be made with so many colours. Your bears are cute, too! And I see you're using Clover hooks :D
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog! I don't have a Facebook page, I have Facebook and Twitter profiles as a person, though.
Thanks December :) I see that you found me on ravelry too! So nice to connect and check out your projects.
DeleteI love the clover hooks! I don't think I can go back to normal ones now that I am used to the padded handles!
Yup! Ravelry is so cool place!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't want to go back to normal hooks...
Anyway, will you be publishing the pattern for flowers on Ravelry?
Ah yes I should, shouldn't I! Thanks for the suggestion. I kept thinking I needed to put the pattern as a PDF but I should just publish it and refine it later... Thanks!!
