Crochet Plum Blossom

 Crochet plum blossom looks like cherry blossom. Even the actual flower, both look quite alike. I used lace yarn and a 1.5 mm hook. For tutorial sake, I used cotton yarn and a 3.5 mm hook. Lace yarn make the flower more realistic. 


The tutorial video : 





Plum Blossom

1) Magic ring, 6 single crochet (sc) into ring. 

2) Sc all around for 2 rows

3) Increase (do 2 sc in  each stitch) all around and joint with the 1st with a slip stitch

4) Turn the work, sc on the front loop of the first 2 stitch

5) Turn the work, do increase

6) Turn the work, chain 1, do sc and a double crochet (dc) in the same stitch, do a dc and a treble crochet (tc) in the same next stitch, do a tc and a dc in the next same stitch, do a dc and a sc in the last stitch, slip stitch to the bottom oh that stitch. (Refer to video for better understanding).

This is how we make 1 petal, so continue in the same pattern and make 5 more petals. Which means 2 stitch makes 1 petal. We build from that 2 stitch. 

7) We were working on the front loop for those 6 petals. Now move to the back and continue to work on the back loop. Sc on the back loop, make sure you get 12 stitches. Then build 6 more petals on these sc. Same pattern as above. 

8) As for the middle part of the flower, best refer to tutorial video.

Peony Flower

 This is a big flower compare to the other crochet flowers. You will need cotton yarn, wire and some flower making green tape. I also added a chop stick, or you can use any wood or metal, to hold the flower as it is quite heavy with so many petals and wire. I used 3 different colors for the whole flower. The tutorial video :   The Core Part (use yellow yarn) 1) Chain 9, do 3 single crochet (sc) in the 2nd stitch from the hook, sc in the next, slip stitch (ss) until the end, which you will have 6 ss all in. Chain 9 and repeat the whole thing, all in 8 sets. 2) Chain 10, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 7 ss. Make 9 sets. 3) Chain 11, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from the hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 8 ss. Make 10 sets. 4) Chain 1, do sc on the next 27 stitches on the base. 5) Chain 1, turn the work, [sc in the next 2, do a 2 together (dec)] - 6 sets,

Tiny Top Hat

 This Top Hat is tiny enough for my amigurumi. Preferable black in color but for tutorial video sake, I did a brown one too. I used cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. It is very easy to make.  The tutorial video : Top Hat 1) Magic ring with 6 single crochet (sc) into ring [total 6] 2) 2 sc in each, all around [total 12] 3) (Sc in next 3, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat all around [total 15] 4) Sc all around (only on back loop) [total 15] 5) - 8) Sc all around [total 15] 9) 2 sc in each stitch, all around the front loop only [total 30] You can cut yarn now, either you leave a long tail for sewing or weave in the tail.  Hope you make lovely hats for your amigurumi.

Crochet Mooncake

This is my second crochet mooncake. This pattern is different from my first crochet mooncake. I made two version. One with lace yarn and a 2 mm hook and another with cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. The lace yarn mooncake is smaller than the cotton yarn mooncake due to the size of the yarn and hook yet both are equally lovely and look quite like the real thing. The tutorial video :  Mooncake (make 2 - top piece and bottom piece) 1) Start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring     [total 8] 2) Make 2 sc into each stitch (inc)     [total 16] 3) (Sc, inc) - 8X only on the back loop     [total 24] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 4) (Sc, inc, sc) - 8X     [total 37] 5) (Sc next 3, inc) - 8X  only on the back loop     [total 40] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 6) (Sc next 2, inc, sc next 2) - 8X     [total 48] 7) (Sc, half double crochet (hdc) next 2, 2 double crochet (dc) in the same stitch, hdc next 2, sc, slip stitch) - 6X After complete the top piece,
