Crochet lace fabric lilac. Bulk crochet flower
Good afternoon, today I want to show you how to create flowers with your own hands using the crochet technique. I collected in this article the simplest and most understandable lessons crochet flowers. Today we will crochet lilies, daisies, poppies, pansies, orchids, and I also prepared an article on crocheting roses (blooming and in buds). I will show the method of knitting narrow petals, ladies schemes branches with oval petals I'll tell you how to tie three-dimensional flower with multi-layered petals and much more I address this article not only to advanced masters, but also to beginners in this matter. So I will explain as detailed and clear as possible even for the most beginner crocheters.
Here I will consider several ways to create flowers at once crochet. And in . But before I start giving diagrams, descriptions, and instructions - I want to LOVE you with this idea. I want you to understand how beautiful crocheted flowers can be. I want to show what opportunities will open up for you when you realize that you can crochet any flower and even understand from a photograph (without a diagram and description) in what technique it is crocheted.
So, let's see what prospects the ability to crochet a variety of flowers opens up for you.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE flowers are knitted
(what can be decorated with crochet flowers)
Knitted flowers can be used as table decorations.
You can simply put them in the center of each plate (as in the left photo below) or decorate a napkin ring with a knitted flower (right photo below),
Knitted small flowers can decorate a greeting card (naturally, the size of the thread and hook should be chosen smaller) so that the made flower is the right size for our greeting card. Also with such knitted flowers you can decorate gift packaging - tie with a cord and glue a crocheted flower on top.
Your first knitting in the simplest colors can be used as a bookmark for the book you are reading.
Knitted flowers can be used as decorative elements for knitted jewelry. For example, in the photo below we see wide crochet bracelets decorated with flowers of various sizes and colors.
When you understand how easy it is to crochet a flower, you will be able to believe in your ability to knit such bracelets.
Crocheted flowers can decorate a handmade bag (as in the photo below).
And if you knit flowers with a small hook and thin threads, then you get a work of jewelry quality and such flowers can be used as part of crochet jewelry.
The ability to crochet flowers can be useful to you when decorating a wedding. From knitted flowers you can lay out this voluminous flower heart(as in the photo below).
Also bridal bouquet can be crocheted. This is a good alternative to fresh flowers. A bouquet that will never wither and will always be kept by the one who catches it in flight.
Can do crochet gift bouquets handmade for family and friends.
Knitted three-dimensional flowers are used as decoration on hats and hats for girls.
So I liked the idea of decorating with knitted flowers not only hats, but also caps with a visor. Beautiful bright headdress for a gentle girl.
In home decor, you can also find use for the colors you linked. For example, decorate sofa cushions with them.
Or you can make such a developmental rug for your child (or a cape-seat on a stool).
You can put knitted flowers in a frame in the form voluminous elegant panel-picture. And decorate the living room with them. Here are some photos below that illustrate this idea in the most convincing way.
Well, now that you have already seen the full potential of the beauty of knitted flowers, let's start our work and create your first crochet flower. We will start with the easiest flowers to make, and then we will make the schemes more complicated.
So the simplest crochet petal flower.
HOW TO LINK
THE SIMPLE FLOWER
(for beginners)
The most simple circuit flower - this is the MIDDLE(a ring of air loops tied with posts) + PETALS(alternating low and high bars).
That is, in order for the petal to turn out in the form of a SEMI-ROUND FORM, we knit low columns along the edges of the petal, and high columns with a crochet in the middle of the petal.
Often, in a simple flower, PETALS look like double crochet stitches knitted AT ONCE SEVEN PIECES into one air loop of the bottom row (as in the photo below). The end of each petal is a connecting column (similar to a single crochet, but only with instant knitting of the entire column in one loop).
By learning how to knit a FLOWER IN THIS SCHEME, you can use this skill to create cute little things for your daughters or nieces. For example, here are knitted sandals for children.
And if we want to have a HOLE in the middle of each petal ... then the petal row must begin as a SERIES OF ARCHES FROM AIR LOOP, connected around the middle circle. (In the diagram below, this hole-forming row is highlighted in red).
This principle is ROUND MIDDLE + PETAL of high and low columns laid at the foundation ALL PETAL FLOWERS. And each new scheme crochet flower is a slightly complicated version of this principle common to all flowers.
Here in the photo below we have the same principle of knitting a flower, but slightly modified (there are denticles added along the edges of the petals). One additional detail to the GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF THE SCHEME - and we already get a flower of a different shape.
VOLUME FLOWER crochet
(how to knit multilayer flowers)
many flowers, crocheted have more than one layer of petals - when the petals bigger size peeking out from under the smaller ones.
Here in the photo below we see an example of such a voluminous multi-tiered flower.
(front view + rear view)
Here I am attaching a MASTER CLASS in step by step photos. This tutorial shows exactly how these circular layers of petals are created. Every layer-tier of petals connected with threads of different colors, so that it is unprofitable to see how and what needs to be done in order to tie a three-dimensional flower.
And now that we understand the basic principles of knitting simple flower, let's start COMPLICING THE TASK. Let's take a closer look at flowers.
PANIES crochet.
simple description
FOR BEGINNER MASTERS will be able to knit pansies flower (see photo below).
It also knits simply - a round center of chains (tied with connecting posts). And petals - with high columns in several crochets.
This flower knitting passes in 3 stages.
The first stage is the creation of the middle (yellow chain, wrap with connecting posts). Then tying the middle with dark purple ..
The second stage - 2 purple petals are knitted (first 2 arches of air loops - in the upper part of the core) And then over each of the two arches we build up the petal itself (columns with two crochets on the sides and with three crochets in the center of the petal).
The third stage - we knit three light petals - usually like other petals (the main thing is to divide the middle circle into THREE EQUAL PARTS - and tie each of the parts in the shape of a petal.
Pansies can be tied and according to another scheme - just like in the photo below.
Or you can come up with your own design and crochet this flower. (examples in the photo below).
The next simplest flower is the daffodil.
How to tie flowers
crochet daffodils.
Here in the photo below we see by what principle the narcissus flower is connected. Knit here first yellow (or orange) CUP... and then petals are collected from the BOTTOM of this middle.
Each petal is columns with a different number of crochets... along the edges of the petal, single crochets - and the closer to the center, the more crochets on the column. And in the very center of the petal there is ONE AIR loop (in order for the petal to have a sharp corner).
For example, a description of knitting such a petal may look like this - a connecting column + art. single crochet + st. with a crochet + st. with two crochets + art. with three crochets + one air + st. with three crochets + art. with two crochets + art. with one crochet + art. single crochet + connecting column. That is, first we go by increasing the number of crochets - and after the center of the petal we go to decreasing crochets in a column. And we get a pointed oblong petal of a narcissus. (from the left photo below).
And if we want to tie daffodils from the right picture in the photo above, then the description of knitting a petal will look like this:
FIRST PETAL HALF(going up)
connecting column + 2 air vents (for lifting) + st. with a crochet + st. with 2 crochets + st. with 3 crochets + art. with 4 crochets + 2 airs (for a little corner at the top of the petal) ...
SECOND HALF OF THE PETAL(we go downhill, so the same alternation, but in reverse order)
Art. with 4 crochets + st. with 3 crochets + art. with 2 crochets + st. with a crochet + connecting
Very funny idea to give someone a bouquet of live daffodils, among which voluminous knitted flowers are unobtrusively lost - I think the recipient will not immediately notice that not all flowers are made by the hands of nature.
How to crochet
FLOWERS LILY OF THE VALLEY
And since we have learned how to knit a central cup for daffodils, we can also knit a bouquet of lilies of the valley - cups of lilies of the valley are knitted in the same way as cups inside a narcissus. We also knit in a circle ... and add so many loops so that our circle is not flat, but wrapped in a deep cup.
It remains only to connect wide leaf of lily of the valley. Below in the photo I am attaching a knitting pattern for a lily of the valley leaf.
And here is another knitting pattern for a lily of the valley flower . Already with a large number of rows in the flower cup, because the threads are thin and the size of the hook is smaller. But the principle is clear from the photo, without any schemes - we knit a cup of a flower and along the edge of the cup we knit small ARCHES OF LACE to get a frilly border along the edge of the flower(BORDER is knitted according to the same petal principle of adding and decreasing yarns).
How to tie flowers
WITH NARROW PETALS.
Here in the diagram below we see by what principle flowers with fringed cutting of petals are created. Each petal of such a knitted flower is air loop chain UP and descent from the connecting posts FOLLOWING THIS CHAIN DOWN to the middle of the flower.
Chamomile petals knit according to the same principle - only each petal is a double penetration of columns - two rows on each side of the petal.
And as seen in photographed master class- the petals are not knitted around the already finished center. And just on chains of air loops - AND ONLY THEN this chain folds into a circle and the petals move apart in a circle like rays.
You can choose the SHAPE of PETALS, decide what NUMBER of these petals should be around the middle, independently determine the LENGTH of the petal ...
In any case, you will get a pretty daisy ... and don't be afraid that you knit differently than in the diagram. You are your own master- Try it yourself and see what happens. More petals means they fit tighter (picture 2 photo below). Fewer petals means there will be a distance between them (picture 1 photo below).
And when you learn how to crochet daisies, you can then turn them into elegant coasters - simply by tying them in a circle in a contrasting green color (as in the photo below).
Or you can crochet a flowerpot with daisies. Buy a small flower pot, sew a small voluminous pillow - such that it fits tightly inside the flowerpot. Then tie daisies and green branches - and sew them on top of the pillow stuffed into the pot. For greater heaviness and stability, sand can be poured into the pillow (a weighted flowerpot will not fall).
According to the same "chamomile" principle they knit lily petals. Only the beginning of knitting NOT FLAT MIDDLE, and the bulky middle in the CUP SHAPE. And then petals are knitted around this cup like a chamomile. And we get a lily like in the photo below.
knitted flowers
WITH WIDE PETALS.
Flowers with wide petals include poppies and orchids. Let's look at how to tie such flowers.
The photo below shows that at first THREE petals are knitted around the black center. And then the hook goes under them and the NEXT THREE petals are already knitted from the back of the flower (so that they peek out from behind the first petals).
But you can do poppies with a flat arrangement of petals in one row. As in this photo below (it will still be beautiful).
You can make the petals climbed on top of each other. Such an overlap of petals on each other turns out by itself - because each new petal begins its knitting from the middle. First, the middle is knitted ( central part) petal, and then its edges around this middle are knitted. And so the edges stick out by themselves - overlapping to the neighboring petal. The diagram below shows how such a flower is knitted.
And here is a knitting pattern for wide petals of an orchid flower.
Here are the larger white orchid flowers from the photo above.
If you do not have a pattern, but you want to knit the right flower, then you need to start with a PAPER PATTERN. First, we cut out the petals of the desired shape from paper, then we fold them into a paper flower. And if we like the image of this flower - its size and the proportions of the petals relative to each other - then we can start knitting.
The orchid in the photo above has 2 lower petals and the central petals are simple ovals (the diagram is in our article).
But the two side petals are in the form of "ears". They just knit. You need to carefully look at the photo and then it will be possible to understand how it moves hand of the master, where to start knitting. where is the continuation, and what does he do at the final stage.
Petal-ear is knitted in 3 steps.
1 step (red)- a straight chain of air loops (the red line in the figure - I counted 12 air loops in a row)
2 step (light green)- around this chain, single crochets are knitted in a circle to get an even oval (in the figure, a light green line of rows). At the place of the turn of our oval - we knit 2 columns in one air of the bottom row (there is an oval pattern in this article).
3 step (green)- now it is necessary that the EARS grow on the left and right near the even oval ... that is, the expansion of the orchid petals. First, we knit the “lower ear” - you see how the dark green line goes to the bottom - and how it winds in a zigzag to the left, to the right, increasing the rows of this ear.
And then we go up and knit the upper ear - with the same zigzag arrangement of rows ...
In conclusion, we tie the entire petal in a circle - so that it has a smooth edge.
RUSH METHOD
For knitting flowers.
If you knit a simple circle - but add in each row a large number of loops… then our the circle will begin to wrinkle and worry- and we get a round frilled flower. Like for example the volumetric poppy flower in the photo below. It does not have individual petals. This is just a circle - which itself twisted in waves, due to the excessive addition of columns in each row.
Try it yourself - it's easy any number of columns- for example, three columns in each loop of the previous row ... or four (to make the wave steeper) ... or five columns in each loop (so that the wave spins very strongly). Here is an example of a poppy with a slight waviness on the petals in the photo below.
And you can make the waviness of the petals VERY STRONG. According to this principle of strong twisting, waves knit bulk flowers CLOVE…
First, a wrinkled wavy circle is knitted. Then another circle. And maybe one more. And then these circles are folded together (not on top of each other, but next to each other) - into a wrinkled bundle EDGED UP. This bunch-washcloth is pushed inside the CAPITAL - the green calyx of the inflorescence. And it turns out a carnation flower, crocheted.
HOOK FLOWERS
with OVAL petals
More can be learned crochet ovals. And then we can knit flowers with oval petals and leaves. For example, such knitted tulips or crocuses or water lilies.
For such oval-petal crochet flowers, you need to learn how to knit an oval. It fits in simply - according to this scheme. The beginning of the scheme is the central row - a chain of airs and the first row of columns on it.
That is, first we knit the CENTRAL ROW of the oval ... and then knitting goes in a circle - around this central row.
If we want our oval to NAP on one side, and on the other hand EXPANDED - then we can knit fewer columns at the turn from one edge - and more columns from the other edge of the oval.
This is how it is shown in the diagram below.
According to the same principle, LEAVES of a pointed shape are knitted. Let's take a look at crocheting the leaves. Let's look at a master class in knitting a heart-shaped petal.
LEAVES FOR FLOWERS HOOK
(master class and diagrams for beginners)
Below I am attaching a photo-master class for crocheting a sharp leaf (it is suitable for lilacs, roses and other crochet flowers).
The knitting of this leaf starts from the center (as with the oval) - the row should have an arched shape, so we start knitting with low stitches (single crochet) and in the middle of the row we knit high stitches (with 2 and 3 crochets).
Or such a sharp heart-shaped leaf can be knitted in a circle ... that is, first we make a ring of air. And then in a circle we alternate columns without crochets (in the lower part of the leaf) and columns with a large number of crochets (in the elongated part of the leaf. And then in a circle we make a strapping around the entire leaf (to create a green rib-edge.
And below is a diagram of a clover leaf.
I also took pictures of leaves. different forms... where you can see exactly how they are knitted.
Here's the tutorial below showing how to create one of the intricate crochet leaves.
Here are some ideas for crochet flowers and leaves. I hope the master classes and diagrams posted here will help you understand and feel that knitted flowers with your own hands are simple, it's fast, and it's such a scope for imagination.
Fall in love with this idea... Think of a hat with flowers for your daughter, booties with flowers for your granddaughter. Create something warm and beautiful for your loved ones. And may you succeed.

Master class number 1. How to crochet a Lilac flower
I have already knitted an incredible (just huge) number of such flowers and I will tell you how to knit them for you :)
Beginning of work. To knit this flower, we need a ball of lilac threads of the Iris type or cotton threads similar in thickness to it. Hook number 1. And a glass bead-drop (it is convenient to use it as the middle of a flower. And beautiful). 
We knit 18 air loops. 
We first knit the stamen-middle. Without breaking threads. It knits right away, it's convenient, you don't have to sew it separately later. And the fewer "tails", the more beautiful the flower will be.
Using a thin fishing line, thread a loop of thread into a bead. 
Like this: a loop in a loop. 
We tighten the threads and continue knitting with single crochets, thus: 
We knit single crochets into each loop of the air chain: 
We knit 5 air loops: 
And we close them in a ring: 
We make one lifting air loop: 
And we knit 7-8 single crochets into the resulting ring (who has how much to fit): 
Next, we knit in a spiral with single crochets the first 3 spiral rows, adding an additional column after 1-2 columns. (To do this, we knit 2 single crochets in one column of the previous row). 
For 3 spiral rows, the number of columns should increase to 20. Exactly 20!
(You can add as you like - this is not important, but for 3 rows you should get 20 columns). It is important. 
Next, we knit an even 20-column tube, without adding or subtracting. 13 rows. Approximately on the 10th row, the middle of the flower must be removed into a tube. This will make knitting easier. 
As a result, from a ring of 5 air loops, we will have a total number of rows = 16 (these are 3 rows with the addition of columns and 13 rows without addition). 
We knit the thread of the beginning of knitting these 3 rows of adding tables. And in the place before the start of the transition to the 4th row, we put it out - it will be a "mark" by which we will navigate when knitting the petals.
When 16 rows are knitted in the same way in a spiral, we continue to knit the petals one at a time.
To do this, we knit 5 columns without a crochet. 
We unfold the knitting and in 5 single crochets of the previous row we knit 7 single crochets. To do this, in the 2nd and 4th columns of the previous row, we knit 2 columns of the new row in one loop. 
Now there are 7 columns.
We turn the knitting again and knit 7 more columns of a new row over the 7 columns of the previous row. 
Then we expand again and 7 more single crochets: 
Now we make the "roundness" of the edge of the petal. 
To do this, unfold the knitting and knit over the 7 columns of the previous row first:
1 single crochet;
1 half-column with a crochet;
1 double crochet;
2 double crochets in one loop;
1 half-column with a crochet;
1 single crochet.
And with half-columns without a crochet we “go down” along the petal.
20. "Go down." After that, the 1st single crochet of the next petal must be knitted into the 5th column of the previous petal. It is important! That is why we knitted a tube from 20 loops!
After all, 5 petals of 5 loops = 25 columns. And we have a tube of 20. So the flower turns out thinner and more elegant.
Alternately, without tearing off the thread, we knit all 5 petals. 
Cut off the marking thread. It is precisely because we knitted it in 3 initial rows that it does not need to be threaded with a needle. It turns out reliably and accurately. 
Red dots mark the places of double columns-beginnings of leaflets. 
Do not forget to get the middle out of the tube, tucked in for ease of knitting: 
And our flower is ready.
Thank you for your interest in my master class!
Master class number 2. Crochet toggle fasteners
For knitting you will need:
Threads like "Iris";
Hook number 1;
Wand. The most interesting question: "Where can I get a wand?". The answer can be found in the departments of manufactured goods. The shape and size will depend on a particular product.
For this master class, a plastic stick with a diameter of 4 mm was used. Cut and turned so that the edges are oval, even. 
We knit the required number of air loops for our stick. When we start knitting single crochets along these air loops, the length will increase slightly. Therefore, the chain attached in this photo is with one more loop for lifting the next row. The length will increase. 
Next, we knit the number of rows needed to wrap the stick. I got 6 rows for a stick diameter of 4 mm. We fold in half lengthwise and tie them together with half-columns, as in the master class "How to crochet a crochet cord for a necklace."
We knit almost to the end, leave 1/4, then we just put the stick in and knit further. 
After that, we sew the ends with a needle. 
It turns out such a neat wand. 
The main thing is to make a wand. You need to sew it in the middle to the flagellum, connected in a similar way. 
It turns out in finished form like this: 
Can be used in products, such as the following photo. I made a loop for the toggle from a stalk with a bud. 
Lilac bouquets are loved by almost everyone. They have a pleasant aroma and look very beautiful due to their splendor. Today we will crochet a bunch of lilacs. It can be used as a brooch or any other decoration.
For knitting you will need:
- A thread of lilac and green;
- Hook;
- Scissors;
- Needle.
In this master class, a lilac-colored "Children's novelty" thread was used for flowers and "Beaded" yarn for stems and leaves. You can knit with any other yarn. For example, floss threads. The hook in this case is 1.75 mm, but it must be selected in accordance with the thickness of the thread.
First, we will knit the lilac flowers themselves. They knit very easily. Cast on 20 stitches. Now we make 5 loops and in the 20th loop we make 1 connecting column. Next, we again make 5 loops and knit the connecting column now into the next loop.
And again 5 loops and a connecting column.
So we knit to the end, performing 1 connecting column in each loop, and between them we make 5 air loops.
We reach the last loop and again we make 5 loops. We knit the connecting column into the loop into which we knitted for the last time. But now on the other side of the chain. That is, we must tie the second side of the chain in the same way.
In total, you can connect as many such details as you like. In this case, there are 3 of them.
Now we need to knit 3 identical parts again. But now this will be the stems, so we take a green thread. The more natural the color, the better.
We knit 17 air loops and knit 1 connecting column into each of them.
We knit leaves. There will also be 3 of them. We make a chain of 8 loops. Next, we perform 1 connecting column. In a new loop 1 single crochet. Next 1 half-column in the next loop.
In the next 3 loops, we knit 1 column with one crochet. And in the last loop immediately 2 double crochets.
Now we will knit 3 more double crochets in the same loop to go to the next side of the chain. And we knit in the same way as on the other side.
That is, 3 double crochets, then 1 half crochet, 1 single crochet and 1 connecting stitch.
Now we need to make sure that the spiral part of the lilac color does not fall apart. To do this, we thread the needle, fold the spiral and stretch the needle with the thread from top to bottom. And then from bottom to top. Tie a knot and cut the thread.
