Basic Stitches Of This Simple Crochet Sunflower

Terms used: ch= chain, dc= double crochet (UK - tr= treble crochet), sl st= slip stitch.

hdc= half double crochet ( UK - htr= half treble crochet)

Chain Stitch (ch):

A simple crochet stitch that often forms the foundation of what crochet stitches are worked into during projects.

Make a slip knot.
Insert hook into slip knot point first, bring yarn over the shaft of the hook from back to front and grab it with the throat of the hook.
Draw hooked yarn through slip knot and onto the hook. This movement will make one chain stitch
Repeat steps two and three until you have the desired number of stitches or a pattern. One loop will remain on hook.

Double Crochet (dc): / In UK terms – Treble Crochet (tr)

Wrap the yarn over (YO) the hook, insert the hook into the specified stitch.
YO the hook again, draw the yarn through the stitch, so there are 3 loops on the hook.
YO the hook again, draw it through 2 loops, so there are 2 loops on the hook.
YO the hook, draw it through the final 2 loops. One loop will remain on hook.

Half Double Crochet (hdc): / In UK terms – Half Treble Crochet (htr)

Wrap the yarn over (YO) the hook, insert the hook into the specified stitch.
YO the hook again, draw the yarn through the stitch, so there are 3 loops on the hook.
YO the hook again, draw it through the 3 loops. One loop will remain on hook.

Slip Stitch (Sl St):

Insert hook into designated stitch
YO (yarn over) and pull back through the st and through the loop on the hook.

Now that you know all the stitches required for this small crochet flower, it’s time to start!
