Triple Layer Petals Flower Pattern

Triple Layer Petals Flower Pattern

I use these flowers all the time to decorate bags, cards, hats, and make brooches. It’s actually an extension of this double layer petal flower pattern, which can be made into a square for blankets etc. Personally I think an odd number of petals looks nicer, so I have modified the pattern to make 7 petals around instead.

Finished Flower

Pattern:

Starting with the middle colour, make a magic ring. I like the tutorial on Planet June if you don’t know how to do this!

Round 1: Ch4 (counts as 1 dc, 1ch), *dc into magic circle, ch 1, repeat from * 5 more times, join into 3^rd chain of the initial chain 4 with a slip stitch (7 chain spaces).

Pull the magic circle closed, and if changing colour for the petals break yarn and join into the first chain space (so that you can crochet over the ends in the next round for less weaving in of ends!)

Round 2: Ch1, *sc, 3dc, sc into chain space, repeat from * 6 more times (7 petals made), join with a slip stich into first sc.

Round 3 is worked behind the petals just made to make chain spaces for the next round of petals.

Round 3: Ch1, sc into the sc stem of the last and first sc of round 2 (see picture), *ch 3, sc into next pair of sc stems, repeat from *around and finish with a ch3 and join to the first sc with a slip stitch (7ch spaces behind petals made).

Round 3: 1st: Needle shows which are the sc “stems” to put the first sc into. 2nd: Hook inserted. 3rd: about to complete 3rd ch space with a sc. 4th: Round 3 complete.

Round 4: ch1, (1sc, 5dc, 1sc) into each chain space around (2 layers of petals made), join into 1^st sc with a slip stitch.

Round 5 is similar to round 3.

Round 5: Ch1, sc into the sc stem of the last and first sc of round 4 (see picture), *ch 4, sc into next pair of sc stems, repeat from *around and finish with a ch4 and join to the first sc with a slip stitch (7ch spaces behind petals made).

Round 6: ch1, (1hdc, 2dc, 3trc, 2dc, 1hdc) into each chain space around (3 layers of petals made), join into 1^st hdc with a slip stitch.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

You can make this pattern and stop after round 2 or 4 for a smaller flower, or try changing colours in between each round of petals for a more colourful look. Making a 6 or 8 petal version also works, just adjust the number of ch spaces in round 1 accordingly.

Thanks and you’re welcome! :)

Thank you for the pattern! I’ve made one, and it turned out big, so I’m wondering if you’re using American or English terminology? Thanks.

Hi Tracy! I use US terminology in all my patterns. Confusing since I am english, but it is because I was taught this way! Please check out my pattern notes page for more info, hope this helps! xx

They do come out big I just did the two layers, turned out really pretty :)

Glad you liked it! Yes you can make huge flowers with this one- just depends on your hook size. I like large flowers on bags and hats. :)

This is a beautiful flower, thank you for the pattern! I just started the pattern and had a really hard time figuring out the double crochet magic ring part, but this you tube video from Crochet Ever After was very helpful for me to figure this step out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xal85damcOA

Thanks Natalie! And thanks for the link. Let am know if you have any more problems, I’m happy to help. :)

I love these!! Thank you so much.
Can you tell me where to find the pattern/or how to make them into a “blanket”.. I would like to make one for my mom. Would I just crochet a afghan (I’m thinking a spring green) then attach them all over it? I want it to look likes blanket of flowers.
Thank you :)

Thanks Heather! There are similar patterns around which turn an eight petalled version of this into a square, which you can then attach to make an afghan or cushion cover. Try this one: http://rosehip.typepad.com/rose_hip_blog/2008/11/index.html :)
