Crochet Flower Free Pattern

Hi, it's Mandy here again...

I love making crochet flowers and using them on scrapbook layouts and have used them on cards too in the past.  Recently I have started to design my own patterns. 

 I called this flower 'May Day'.

I used variegated blue & white cotton thread (I think it's size 10 but am not positive because it was in a bag of scraps that my Gran gave me.)  I used a 1.25mm metal hook and all the abbreviations are UK terms.  There are two special abbreviations...

2dtr bobble  (2 double treble bobble) =leaving last loop of each on hook, work 2dtr into ring, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook.

3dtr bobble  (3 double treble bobble) =leaving last loop of each on hook, work 3dtr into ring, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook.

'May Day' Pattern

Starting Ring:  Do 10 chain and join with sl,st.

Round 1:  4 ch, 2dtr bobble in ring. [6 ch, 3dtr bobble into ring] x7.  6 chain, sl, st to top of 1st bobble.

Round 2:  [1dc, 1htr, 2tr, 2dtr, 2tr, 1htr, 1dc into chain space below] x8. sl, st into1st dc of the round.Cast off.

Have a great bank Holiday week-end!

Mandy.

Love the name, the flower and the clarity and simplicity of the pattern, and you've given me an idea to variegate some plain white cotton with ink. :)

I need to practice my crochet more, I always end up with very wonky flowers:(
