Irish Flower Tutorial

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Crochet an Irish Double Layered Flower

1. Begin with the Foundation Chain

1. Chain for the Center: Start by creating a magic circle or chain 4 stitches and join with a slip stitch to form a small ring.
2. Work Single Crochet in the Ring: Chain 1 and work 10 single crochets (SC) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first SC to close the round.

2. Create the First Layer of Petals

1. Chain and Form Petals: Chain 3 stitches, skip 1 stitch, and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this around the circle to create 5 chain spaces.
2. Crochet the Petals: In each chain space, work 1 single crochet (SC), 2 double crochets (DC), and 1 single crochet (SC). This forms the first layer of petals. Slip stitch to close the round.

3. Add the Second Layer of Petals

1. Chain Behind the First Layer: Turn your flower and work behind the first layer of petals. Slip stitch into the base of the first petal, then chain 5 stitches. Slip stitch into the base of the next petal. Repeat this around to create 5 chain spaces behind the first layer.
2. Crochet the Second Layer of Petals: In each of these new chain spaces, work 1 single crochet (SC), 3 double crochets (DC), and 1 single crochet (SC). This forms the second, larger layer of petals. Slip stitch to close the round.

4. Finish and Weave in Ends

1. Fasten Off: Once you’ve completed the second layer of petals, fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing if needed.
2. Weave in Loose Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends at the back of the flower, ensuring a clean, neat finish.
