Crochet Poinsettia Flower

 This flower is lovely and quite easy to crochet, even for beginners. It is wireless and the leaf and flower petal has almost the same crochet pattern.

 
The tutorial video :  


For the smaller leaf, start with a chain 18. The bigger leaf, start with a chain 21. The smaller flower petal, start with a chain 12 and the bigger petal, with a chain 16. The middle yellow part, make a knot, slip stitch to the middle of the petal and chain 5 and slip stitch to the last chain (the chain that is nearest to the earlier slip stitch), cut yarn and pull the 2 tail to the back and tie a knot.

For the leaf and the flower, start with 3 single crochet follow by half double crochet all the way till you have 3 stitches left at the end. Do single crochet in the next 2 and 4 single crochet in the last stitch. Now work upwards, do single crochet in the next 2, and half double crochet until you have 2 more stitches left in the end. Turn your work, slip stitch in the next 2, half double crochet down until you have 3 stitches left.  Do single crochet in the next 2 and 4 single crochet in the last (which is always the one in the middle).

Repeat the same and work upwards again. Every time you turn the work and do 2 slip stitch, you created a corner. Each leaf you will has 6 corners and each flower petal has only 4 corners, on each side. 

For the flower, make 8 big petals and 5 small petals (with the middle part) For the leaf, it is up to you how many leaves you prefer. Once complete, either you sew them together or you can glue them together.
