Materials Needed

• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Additional Tools: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and stringing flowers together

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Flowers

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. You should have a total of 6 single crochet stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 2 single crochet in each single crochet around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You will now have 12 single crochet stitches.
4. Round 3:
   • Begin by chaining 2 (Ch 2).
   • Double crochet (dc) in the next single crochet stitch.
   • Chain 2 (Ch 2) again, then slip stitch (sl st) in the next single crochet stitch.
   • Repeat from the beginning of this step around the circle until you have created 6 petals. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.
5. Finish the Flower: Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Repeat the above steps to make multiple flowers in different colors.

Assembling the Garland

1. Prepare the String: Cut a long strand of neutral-colored yarn to your desired length for the garland.
2. String the Flowers: Using a tapestry needle, thread the long strand of yarn through the center of each flower. Space the flowers evenly along the yarn.
3. Finalize the Garland: Once all flowers are strung, tie a knot at each end of the yarn to secure the flowers in place. You can also add additional flowers or leaves if desired.
