Mixed bouquet: 3D Crochet Flower Generator
Keep five head constructions separate in one register
This larger soft bouquet contains a rose, tulip, raised daisy, offset layered flower and expanded carnation. At the saved settings their workloads are sixty, ninety, sixty-four, sixty and 252 outputs, totaling 526. Five twenty-chain cords supply ninety-five return slip stitches and a separate short tie supplies eleven. The complete 632-output setup has thirteen crocheted pieces because the raised daisy and layered flower each contain two components.
Work the heaviest expansion as its own trial
The carnation's twelve-sc row expands to sixty dc and then 180 dc. It is much denser than the rose's eighteen-sc and forty-two-output shell strip. Keep their labels and source diagrams separate rather than applying one rolling method to an assumed equal fabric length. Both are secured through original foundation layers, but their actual fullness and weight will differ in the same yarn.
Finish relief heads without flattening them
Complete the tulip's three central rim connections without gathering its intervening arcs. Sew the small closed center onto the daisy at the four specified receiving references. Offset the two five-petal layers and secure their center regions with five distributed tacks. Leave the free petal tops and component edges as described; this collection does not include a lily or require its different twelve-pair attachment route.
Balance five soft stems after pinning
Attach one return-slip-stitch cord to each finished head using two reinforced underside tacks. Keep the head-specific receiving references with the component register. Arrange the five heads at different heights, compare their real balance and gather the cords using the separate short tie. The cords remain flexible. A heavier carnation may need support from the display backing rather than being forced upright by tighter tying.
Why are only seven head recipes drawn?
Five finished flowers use seven crocheted head components: two pairs plus three single components. Each distinct component has its own named source panel.
Can one field resize every head proportionally?
No. Shell count, frill repeat, tulip growth and fixed layered or daisy recipes have different relationships. Compare actual samples instead of assuming a uniform scale factor.
Exact setup, working key and complete sequence
Open the 3D Crochet Flower Generator and choose mixed-bouquet. Set the rose/frill/petal field to 6, tulip growth to three, cup even rounds to three and soft cord chains to twenty. Inactive fields do not change this construction. Download the complete original project JSON before experimenting. Use compatible yarn, a matching hook, removable markers, scissors and a tapestry needle; the closed daisy center additionally needs a little suitable filling.
The sequence below uses US terms: sc is single crochet, hdc half double, dc double and tr treble. Ch means chain and sl st slip stitch. UK mode displays dc, htr, tr and dtr respectively without changing the source geometry or counts. Keep each component quantity with its recipe. Foundation chains, decorative chains and separately labeled assembly units are distinct from the stated main-output workload. Review the stitch-chart reading guide when tracing receiving lines.
Symbol Chart and Stitch Preview show the same generated source structure in different schematic forms. The complete written route below remains necessary for rolling, shaping and finishing. Neither vector view is a photograph or evidence of a physically tested flower. Measure and inspect the real sample, secure every tail and compare its backing before final attachment. Save the full JSON with your yarn, hook, measured size and finishing notes so a later version can be reproduced.
Every worked row, round and assembly reference
- rose head (make 1), row 1: Ch 19; sc in the second chain from hook and each remaining chain: 18 sc. Turning chains do not count. [18 counted outputs per copy]
- rose head (make 1), row 2: Ch1,turn (not counted). Repeat [sl st in next sc,5dc in next sc,sl st in next sc] 6 times. 30 dc and 12 construction slip stitches;each repeat consumes three distinct old sc. Fasten off with a long sewing tail. [42 counted outputs per copy]
- rose head (make 1), row 3: Roll the first shell tightly for the center;wind the remaining shells around it with the foundation edge underneath. Sew through every rolled foundation layer several times,secure the underside and weave tails without crushing the petal tops. Fasten off, weave the foundation tail into the wrong side and leave a suitable attachment tail. Block the unfilled applique without stretching; sew through the underside and bases rather than crushing visible tops. [0 finishing reference]

- raised-daisy head / Raised closed center (make 1), round 3: Sphere (make 1), round 3, base yarn #E4CA78: Repeat [0 sc, sc2tog over next two stitches] 6 times. Each decrease consumes two old bases and makes one stitch. Add filling before the opening becomes too small. Fasten off; pass the tail through the remaining six front loops, draw closed and conceal the tail. This sewing closure adds no crochet round. Fasten off, weave in ends and block the completed motif without stretching. [6 counted outputs per copy]

Fasten off,secure every petal end and retain a sewing tail for the separately specified layer assembly. [30 counted outputs per copy]
- carnation head (make 1), row 1: Ch 13. Sc from the second chain from hook across:12 sc. The skipped chain is not a stitch. [12 counted outputs per copy]
- carnation head (make 1), row 2: Ch2,turn (not counted). Work5dc in each of the 12 old sc:60 dc. Every five-post group shares one old base. [60 counted outputs per copy]
- carnation head (make 1), row 3: Ch2,turn (not counted). Work3dc in each of the 60 old dc:180 dc. This second expansion deliberately creates a dense frill;do not replace it with a plain even row. [180 counted outputs per copy]
- carnation head (make 1), row 4: Fasten off with a long sewing tail. Keep the original foundation edge underneath,roll the strip into a frilled head,and sew through every rolled foundation layer several times. Keep the dense outer frill free;secure and weave the tails. [0 finishing reference]
- Soft stem cords (make 5), row 1: Ch 20. Skip the nearest chain. Sl st in the second chain from hook and each remaining chain: 19 slip stitches. Do not add an extra turning row. Leave both ends long enough for the stated attachment. Fasten off and retain suitable attachment tails. This cord is soft;it contains no rigid stem or hidden wire. [19 counted outputs per copy]
- Separate bunching tie (make 1), row 1: Ch 12. Skip the nearest chain. Sl st in the second chain from hook and each remaining chain: 11 slip stitches. Do not add an extra turning row. Leave both ends long enough for the stated attachment. Fasten off and retain suitable attachment tails. This cord is soft;it contains no rigid stem or hidden wire. [11 counted outputs per copy]
- tulip head: Keep the cup unfilled. On its final round6,mark stitches1,7,13. Bring these three rim points together;sew1to7,7to13,and13to1. Reinforce the three-way center while leaving the three intervening rim arcs unsewn as lobes. Conceal the tails without gathering the entire opening. [3 rim shaping tacks]
- raised-daisy head: Lightly fill and close the small center as its source states. Pin its widest round2stitches1,4,7,10 respectively over daisy center-round1stitches1,3,5,7. Sew and reinforce those four distributed tacks through the back. Keep petal tops free and verify the real raised center does not distort the daisy. [4 center-to-daisy sewing tacks]
- layers head: Place the smaller three-post layer above the larger five-post layer. Offset the five petal groups by half a petal interval (36degrees) and pin the real centers together. Sew five distributed tacks through the two central-ring regions without flattening the outer posts. These are regional sewing tacks,not a false one-to-one match between offset center stitches. [5 central layer tacks]
- Finish each of the 5 flower heads through its own source steps first. Attach one soft stem cord with two separate tacks through its first two slip stitches and the securely finished underside of that head. For the tulip use base round1positions1and4;for a daisy use its center positions1and5;for rolled heads catch the secured foundation layers. Pin the actual heads before reinforcing. These cords are flexible,not rigid standing stems. [10 head-to-stem sewing tacks]
- Arrange the completed heads at the intended relative heights,gather the soft cords and wrap the separate short tie around them. Knot its ends securely and weave attachment tails. This is a soft decorative bouquet;physical balance,head spacing and stem length need a real trial. [1 soft bouquet tie]
