How to Crochet a Pull Tabs Flower: Step-by-Step Guide

Prepare the Pull Tabs

1. Clean the Pull Tabs: Before using the pull tabs, make sure they are clean and free of sharp edges. You can wash them with warm, soapy water and let them dry.
2. Arrange the Pull Tabs: For each flower, you’ll need 6-8 pull tabs. Arrange them in a circular pattern with the holes facing inward, as this will create the base of the flower.
3. Create a Slip Knot: Attach your yarn to the crochet hook by creating a slip knot.
4. Join the Pull Tabs: Insert your hook through the first pull tab and begin by working a single crochet (SC) stitch through the top hole of the tab. Continue crocheting SC stitches into the top hole of each pull tab until they are all connected in a circle.
5. Crochet Petals: To create the petals, crochet 5-7 double crochet (DC) stitches into the bottom hole of each pull tab. This will give your flower the shape of petals.
6. Close the Flower: Once you’ve crocheted all the petals, join the last stitch with a slip stitch (SL ST) to the first SC. Fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends using a yarn needle.
