forbidden flower!!!

I use US terms because I don't know anything else

use whatever yarn you choose and the hook that goes with it

I used a big hook so the stitches showed up

sorry about the lousy lighting

but we don't have any today

ok here we go

this is not my design or invention or creation

it is a flower made with the

popcorn stitch

plain and simple

if you want to add petals you can

just make more sc in the beginning

this is for a

6 petal flower

:)

make a magic loop

or ch 4 and make a loop

make 6 sc in loop

if keeping same colour don't

fasten off

if not

fasten off!!

join new colour

ch 3 counts as first dc and make 4 more dc in same place

you will have 5 dc

(first petal)

take the hook out of the yarn

and put the hook in the top of the first dc

put the hook back in the loop of the last stitch made

and

pull the yarn through

and the stitches will scrunch up together

and you have your first

popcorn

!!!

ch 1

and in the next sc in the beginning loop

make 5 dc again

repeat

take out the hook put it in the top of the first dc and pull the loop through

do this in all the sc in the centre

you should have 6 popcorn's at the end!!

and soon you will have

a popcorn flower of you very own

if you make trebles instead of the doubles

your flower will be a little bigger and floppier

you can even add stitches to the petals if you want and make them bigger

 it's fun and easy  to make them

use them for embellishments or join them all together and make something cute

like a necklace or on the end of a plain scarf

or in a pattern as on a pillow

I'm going to try that

some day

:)

this is the wrong side and you can see it's quite a thick little thing

squishy and squashy and puffy too

hope you try it and if there is something wrong with the pattern

please say so and I'll fix it

enjoy

:)
