    so you only skip two chain stitches for the first stitch of each row??

    @mschacha62 I think when I did this example, I only used about 10-15 chains. You can count the first two chains as a stitch. There is flexibility with crochet so you don’t have to count the first two chains as a stitch and they will blend in with the first stitch. The chain stitches tend to look sloppy at times, so you may want to work modified first stitches.

    Teresa, can you tell me how many chains you started with. Also you said the two chains count as a stitch so do we count this as well. (as one or two). thanks in advance for all you help.

    wait do you insert the hook in the next chain or the second next chain (if that made sense…)

    You’re the best! I could only single crochet because that’s all my great grandmother taught me and written directions for any other stitch were too hard to understand. Thanks for such a great visual aid!

    @YiaNyan9 I am using a little Sony Handycam that has been discontinued now. It is a high resolution camera with HD. You do not have to spend a lot for a good camera.  I have had it for two years now and love it.

    May I ask what camera you use? It has very clear quality, as clear as ur directions. It helps to have a good camera!

    Nice flower. Although I need to tell you that is not how you do a single crochet. Single crochet is; insert hook, yarn over, pull through, yarn over and pull through both loops on hook. I don’t mean to be picky but it coud be confusing to beginner crocheters. :)

    This seems really easy bc of your explanation. I’ve been wanting to make a flower but other videos seem daunting. thanks! Might attach it to my headband from your other tutorial :)

    Thank you so much for this… I saw a similar flower on another site and could not figure it out from only her written instructions. Having the video helped me do it on the first try! I have to agree that the SC you are showing is not how I learned how to do a SC, but I like it!

  22. junebug017 says:

    I hate to burst your bubble, but that is not how you do a single crochet. Put your hook into the chain, yarn over and then pull through BOTH loops, not one loop at a time. I even looked at some other videos to make sure.

    December 27, 2011 at 5:49 am

    alright ive tried this a couple times, and the stitch you do to make the spokes is confusing mine do not look the way yours do. is there any way for me to look at that stitch in slow motion or something? bc its going a little too fast for me to see exactly what your doing.

    I’m still trying… for some reason I can knit but not crochet. I have a 3 year old daughter who keeps yelling PRETTY every time I watch the video. So now I feel like I need to learn how to make them for her. Oh ya- your ticker will probably go up a thousand more times before I give up. (just letting you know)

    Tnx very helpful!! I have a question: What kind of yarn are you using, and what size

  36. butterfliez2002 says:

    Thanks so much! Very easy to learn, my first flower turned out great! :)

  37. virginiaomalley says:

    That is a great flower, but I think you are doing extended single crochets.

  38. MrsJoAnnaD says:
    December 27, 2011 at 9:57 am

    Thanks for the lesson! . I’ve made one in every color for crochet headbands and baby hats to attach with buttons. It’s also very versatile! I’ve made several that are only 2 layers for smaller flowers and once on mistake, I had 9 petals on the second row but it actually turned out cool(tighter and more defined) so I’ve made some with 9 petals on purpose since then!
