FOREWORD
I grew up surrounded by woods and blueberry fields, and
spent much of my childhood outdoors, picking flowers, chasing
dragonflies, and collecting leaves. Not surprisingly, I developed
an early fascination with nature—a fascination I’ve never
outgrown. When I learned to crochet, I was excited to discover
that groups of stitches often resembled natural forms. A few
twists of the hook, and I’d find myself looking at the serrated
edge of a leaf, the overlapping petals of a flower or the gentle
curve of a butterfly's wing.
This collection includes patterns for many of my favorite
flowers, leaves, and insects. From tulips and sunflowers to ivy
and maple leaves, the designs reflect the color and variety
found in nature itself. Whether your aim is to make a few
lacy blossoms, or to create a whole crochet garden, you'll find
plenty of inspiration. So gather some colored threads, settle
into your favorite chair, and enjoy!

ABOUT THIS BOOK 9
SECTION 3:
INSTRUCTIONS
(PAGES 44-113)
In this chapter you’ll find
instructions on how to create
every design featured in the
Floral Collection.The flower
designs each feature a chart,
finished photograph, and written
instructions.This is so that
you can use either method or,
better still, combine both. All
the flowers have been designed
for size 10 thread and a size 5
(1.90 mm) hook, and the
patterns are organized by
degree of difficulty—basic,
intermediate, or advanced.
SECTION 4:	PROJECTS
(PAGES 114-125)
The beauty of these flower
designs is that they can all be
used to embellish a number
of items, from garments and
gifts to home accessories.
This chapter presents a
selection of ideas to inspire
and encourage you to use the
featured designs in a variety
of ways.
A close-up photograph of
each project shows in detail
how the item has been made
and put together.

The basics
In this chapter, you will Hud detailed
in formation on tools, materials, and patterns,
as well as all of the crochet techniques you’ll
need to make the Howers, leaves, and
insects in this collection.
12 THE BASICS
TOOLS AND MATERIALS
One of the attractions of crochet flowers is that they
do not require a large collection of specialized tools or
materials. Select a steel hook, a few brightly colored threads,
and a sharp pair of scissors, and you’ll be ready to begin.
CROCHET THREAD
The flowers in this collection are made from cotton crochet thread,
which comes in sizes from 3 to 100, with higher numbers indicating
finer threadsThicker threads are easiest to crochet, and for that reason,
all of these patterns were designed for size 10 thread. Experiment with
finer threads and smaller hooks to create smaller, lighter-weight flowers.
You may also wish to try other materials, such as lace-weight yarns or
embroidery floss, for beautiful and sometimes surprising results.
SCISSORS
A small, sharp-pointed pair of scissors is
especially helpful for clipping thread ends.
CROCHET HOOKS
For crocheting in thread, you will need a small,
steel crochet hook.The patterns in this book
were developed using a size 5 (1.90 mm) hook,
but many charts recommend using a size 7
(1.65 mm) or size 8 (1.5 mm) crochet hook
with size IO thread.Thread thicknesses vary,
as do the gauges of individual crocheters, /
so any hook size recommendation should	i'
be taken as a starting point only. For /я
the purposes of these patterns,	/я
the correct hook to use is the	/я
one that allows you to work	/я
most comfortably with your /я Л
chosen thread.	/я /я

A cluster is made exactly like a decrease (see

a single stitch or space before being gathered
together at the top.
Symbols joined at the top show stitches
gathered into one stitch to form a decrease.
Each stitch of the group (de, tn etc., according
to the symbol) is made without working the
last wrap (a wrap is: yarn round hook then
pull yam through loop).This leaves one loop
on the hook for each incomplete stitch plus
the original loop.The decrease is completed
by taking the yam round the hook and then
pulling the yarn through all loops on the hook.

14 THE BASICS
CROCHET REFRESHER COURSE
For readers who are new to crochet (and those who could use a
review), this section provides instruction on the stitches used in this
book. If you've never crocheted before, start by working the stitches
with a large crochet hook in medium-weight yarn. Once you are
comfortable with them, switch to thread.
HOLDING THE HOOK AND YARN
MAKING A SLIP KNOT
I Holding the hook as if it were a pen is
I the most widely used method. Center
the tips of your right thumb and forefinger
over the flat section of the hook.
3To control the supply and keep an even
gauge on the yam, hold the short end
of the yarn in place with your right thumb.
Take the yarn coming from the ball loosely
around the little finger of your left hand and
loop it over the left forefinger Use the middle
finger on the same hand to help hold the
work. If you are left-handed, hold the hook
in the left hand and the yam in the right.
I Loop the yam as shown, insert the hook
into the loop, catch the yarn with the
hook, and pull it through to make a loop
over the hook.
2An alternative way to hold the hook
is to grasp the flat section of the hook
between your right thumb and forefinger as
if you were holding a knife.
2Gently pull the yam to tighten the
loop around the hook and complete
the slip knot.
CROCHET REFRESHER COURSE 15
WORKING A FOUNDATION CHAIN (CH)
WORKING A SINGLE
CROCHET (SC)
The foundation chain is the equivalent of casting on in knitting and it's important to make
sure that you have made the required number of chains for the pattern you are going
to work. Count each V-shaped loop on the front of the chain as one chain stitch, except for
the loop on the hook, which is not counted. You may find it easier to turn the chain over and
count the stitches on the back of the chain. When working the first row of stitches (usually
called the foundation row) into the chain, insert the hook under one thread or two, depending
on your preference.
I Holding the hook with the slip knot in
your right hand and the yarn in your left,
wrap the yarn over the hook. Draw the yarn
through to make a new loop and complete
the first chain stitch.
WORKING A SLIP STITCH (SL ST)
2Repeat this step, drawing a new loop
of yarn through the loop already on the
hook until the chain is the required length.
Move the thumb and second finger that
are grasping the chain upward after every
few stitches to keep the gauge even. When
working into the chain, insert the hook
under one thread (for a looser edge)
or two (for a firmer edge), depending
on your preference.
Slip stitch is the shortest of all the crochet
stitches and its main uses are for joining
rounds, making seams, and carrying the
hook and yarn from one place to another
Insert the hook from front to back into the
required stitch. Wrap the yarn over the hook
(yam over) and draw it through both the
work and the loop on the hook. One loop
remains on the hook and one slip stitch has
been worked.
I Begin with a foundation chain (see left)
and insert the hook from front to back
into the second chain from the hook. Wrap
the yam over the hook (yam over) and draw
it through the first loop, leaving two loops on
the hook.
2To complete the stitch, yam over and
draw it through both loops on the hook,
leaving one loop on the hook. Continue in
this way, working one single crochet into
each chain.
3At the end of the row, turn and work
one chain for the turning chain (remember
that this chain does not count as a stitch).
Insert the hook into the first single crochet
at the beginning of the row. Work a single
crochet into each stitch of the previous
row, being careful to work the final stitch
into the last stitch of the row, but not into
the turning chain.
16 THE BASICS
WORKING A HALF DOUBLE
CROCHET (HDC)
I Begin with a foundation chain (see page
15), wrap the yarn over the hook (yarn
over), and insert the hook into the third
chain from the hook.
2Draw the yarn through the chain, leaving
three loops on the hook. Yarn over and
draw through all three loops on the hook,
leaving one loop on the hook. One half
double crochet complete.
3 Continue along the row, working one
half double crochet into each chain. At
the end of the row, work two chains to
turn. Skip the first stitch and work a half
double crochdt into each stitch made
on the previous row. At the end of the
row, work the last stitch into the top of
the turning chain.
WORKING A DOUBLE
CROCHET (DC)
I Begin with a foundation chain (see page
15), wrap the yarn over the hook twice
(yarn over twice), and insert the hook into
the fifth chain from the hook.
2Draw the yarn through the chain, leaving
four loops on the hook.Yarn over again
and draw the yarn through the first two
loops on the hook, leaving three loops on
the hook.
3Yarn over and draw the yarn through the
two loops on the hook leaving one loop
on the hook. One double crochet complete.
Continue along the row, working one double
crochet stitch into each chain. At the end of
the row, work three chains to turn. Skip the
first stitch and work a double crochet into
each stitch made on the previous row. At
the end of the row, work the last stitch into
the top of the turning chain.
WORKING A TREBLE
I Begin with a foundation chain (see page
15), wrap the yarn over the hook twice
(yarn over twice), and insert the hook into
the fifth chain from the hook.
2Draw the yam through the chain, leaving
four loops on the hook. Yarn over again
and draw the yarn through the first two
loops on the hook, leaving three loops on
the hook.
3Yarn over again and draw through the
first two loops on the hook leaving two
loops on the hook.
CROCHET REFRESHER COURSE 17
WORKING IN ROUNDS
Most flowers are worked in rounds, which
means that they are worked outward from
a central ring called a foundation ring.
4Yam over again and draw through the
two remaining loops, leaving one loop on
the hook.Treble crochet is now complete.
Making a foundation ring
Work a short length of foundation chain (see
page 15) as specified in the pattern. Join the
chains into a ring by working a slip stitch into
the first stitch of the foundation chain.
5 Continue along the row, working one
treble crochet stitch into each chain. At
the end of the row, work four chains to turn.
Skip the first stitch and work a treble crochet
into each stitch made on the previous row.
At the end of the row, work the last stitch
into the top of the turning chain.
WORKING A DOUBLE TREBLE
CROCHET (DTR)
A double treble stitch is similar to a treble.To
make this stitch, follow the treble instructions,
but at step I, wrap the yarn over the hook
three times. Work step 2, and then work
step 3 twice, before proceeding to step 4.
Working into the ring
I Work the number of turning chains
specified in the pattern—three chains are
shown here (counting as a double crochet
stitch). Inserting the hook into the space at
the center of the ring each time, work the
number of stitches specified in the pattern
into the ring. Count the stitches at the end
of the round to check you have worked the
correct number
2Join the first and last stitches of the
round together by working a slip stitch
into the top of the turning chain.
18 THE BASICS
FINISHING OFF THE FINAL ROUND
To make a neat edge, finish off the final round
by using this method of sewing the first and
last stitches together in preference to the slip
stitch joining method shown on page 17.
WORKING INTO THE FRONT AND
BACK OF STITCHES
Unless pattern details instruct you otherwise,
it’s usual to work crochet stitches under
both loops of the stitches made on the
previous row.
CHANGING COLORS
I To make a neat join between colors, leave
the last stitch of the old color incomplete
so there are two loops on the hook and
wrap the new color around the hook.
I Cut the yarn, leaving an end of about
I 4 in (10 cm) and draw it through the
last stitch. With right side facing, thread the
end in a large tapestry needle and take it
under both loops of the stitch next to the
turning chain.
Working into the front
When instructions tell you to work into the
front of the stitches, insert the hook only
under the front loops of stitches on the
previous row.
2Pull the needle through and insert it into
the center of the last stitch of the round.
On the wrong side, pull the needle through
to complete the stitch, adjust the length of
the stitch to close the round, then weave in
the end on the wrong side in the usual way.
Working into the back
Likewise, to work into the back of the
stitches, insert the hook only under the
back loops of stitches on the previous row
2Draw the new color through to complete
the stitch and continue working in the
new colon The illustrations show a color
change in a row of double crochet stitches
the method is the same for single crochet
and other stitches.
BLOCKING
Some flowers, particularly those with very
broad or long petals, will have a tendency to
curl or twist when they are first crocheted. You
can correct this by soaking the flower in cold
water pressing it to the desired shape, and
setting it on a towel until it is completely dry.
CROCHET REFRESHER COURSE • STEMS AND LEAVES 19
STEMS AND LEAVES
For some projects, you may wish to have stems and leaves
for your flowers.There are several methods of making them,
including an adaptable stem and leaf pattern, shown here, and
other generic leaf patterns, shown on pages 20-21.
ADAPTABLE STEM AND LEAF PATTERN
Adapt this pattern to suit your your flower
Lower stem: Make a chain of the desired length.
Right Leaf: ch 2 to form the leaf's stem, ch 8,
and si st in 8th ch from hook to form a ring. Bypass
stem (pass thread under the stem), and work the
following stitches into the ring: [3 sc, hdc, de,
ch 3, de, hdc, 3 sc], si st in the same ch as last
si st (at the base of the ring), and in the 2 ch
of the leaf's stem.
Upper Stem: Make a chain long enough to
attach to the back of the flower (usually at least
6 ch). Join to the back of the flower with a si st.
(Depending on the project, you can also leave the
flower off and sew or glue it to the stem later)
ch I. Starting in the 3rd ch from the hook, si st
back down the stem, until you get to the desired
location of the left leaf.
Left Leaf: Repeat Right Leaf.
Lower Stem: sl st in each of the stem’s
remaining ch. Fasten off; weave in ends.
Large leaves with devil’s
paintbrush, page 51
This pattern can be modified in a variety of ways:
•	Make single or multiple leaves on
each side.
•	Create bigger or smaller leaves by
changing the size of the leaf’s foundation ring, and
by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches
you work into the ring. (Generally, you’ll want to
work about 2 more stitches into the ring than
there are chains. For example, if you chain 6 for
your foundation ring, you’ll likely work 8 stitches
into that ring.)
•	Change the shape of the leaf by changing
the stitches you use: the pattern above uses a
progression of single, half double, and double
crochets, but you can use only single crochets to
make a smaller, rounder leaf, or add taller stitches
like trebles to make a larger, flatter leaf.
•	For a small, flat leaf, dispense with the
foundation ring altogether and make the leaves as
in the burning bush branch pattern on page 84.
(That pattern also illustrates a method of making
a sharper-pointed leaf with a picot or small loop
at the tip.)
*	Try grouping small leaves together on
a stem, to form a lacy leaf cluster

Flowers
Re-create the beauty of a
summer garden with this
gorgeous selection of flowers,
leaves and plants to crochet.
From lacy blossoms to delicate
vJ VI I Cl ferns, you'll find patterns to suit
any color, style or season. Small
and quick to crochet, these flowers work wonderfully as accents for
larger projects, as a creative use for leftover thread or a colorful
introduction to thread crochet.
Caitlin Sainio has been crocheting for most of her life, and especially loves
the delicate geometries of thread crochet. Trained as a mechanical engineer,
she's turned her engineering talents to crochet design, concentrating
particularly on flowers, snowflakes, and the other beautiful patterns found in
nature. She is the author of 100 Snowflakes to Crochet.
Whether you're new to thread crochet, or a longtime enthusiast,
you'll find clear instructions, along with all the basics needed.
With the color and variety of their outdoor counterparts, these
flowers can be used to embellish clothing and housewares, create
decorative arrangements or wall hangings, make lovely and original
cards, and more!
