Let’s Get Started!
Round 1 (R1)
- Start with a magic circle.
- Chain 6 (this counts as 1 double crochet + 3 chains for the space).
- Into the magic circle, repeat the following 8 times:
- 1 double crochet
- Chain 3
- 1 double crochet
- Pull the magic circle tight to close the centre.
- Slip stitch into the first chain space to join the round.
Round 2 (R2)
- Chain 3 (this counts as the first part of a bobble stitch).
- In each chain space, make a bobble stitch, followed by chain 5. Repeat this around 8 times.
- Slip stitch into the first stitch to close the round.
What is a Bobble Stitch?
A bobble stitch is created as follows:
- Yarn over, insert the hook, yarn over, pull through.
- Yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
- Repeat this 5 times (you will have 6 loops on your hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all loops, then yarn over and pull through once more to secure.
Round 3 (R3)
- Work 7 single crochets (sc) into each chain space around.
- You should have 8 groups of 7 sc.
- Slip stitch into the first stitch to close the round.
- Fasten off and cut the yarn.
Round 4 (R4) – Adding a Second Colour
- Attach your second colour to any stitch.
- Make 1 single crochet (sc) into each stitch around.
- Slip stitch into the first sc to join.
- Fasten off and cut the yarn.
Creating the Corners
- Use stitch markers to mark every 7 stitches to separate the corners.
- Attach the second colour into the 2nd chain after a stitch marker.
- Chain 3, then slip stitch into the 2nd chain (this creates a small loop).
- Repeat this 2 more times.
- Chain 2, then slip stitch into the 2nd chain before the next stitch marker.
- Fasten off and repeat in each corner.
And that’s it! You now have a beautifully textured floral motif with delicate bobbles and well-defined corners.
