Five-petal flower: Crochet Applique Motif Generator

Match five petals to five real center stitches

This original flower begins with five single crochets in a magic ring. Each old stitch supports one complete petal, so five receiving bases become five petals. The second circuit contains fifteen double crochets and five petal-closing slip stitches: twenty completed stitches. Adding the five center stitches gives twenty-five main outputs. Twenty decorative chains remain outside that total.

Close the petal before moving its base

Into one center stitch work chain two, three double crochets, chain two and a slip stitch back into that same old base. Only after that closure should you advance to the next center stitch. The source lines in the symbol chart connect all of a petal's posts and its closing stitch to the actual receiving base. They do not connect a new petal to the top of the previous petal.

Attach through the underside rather than flattening the design

Finish the ring end and leave an attachment tail. Open the five petals gently, pin the center to the intended backing and sew through the underside and petal bases. Pulling a single tight knot through the center can twist the flower; sewing every visible petal tip can suppress the open outline. Evaluate the real fabric and its backing together before choosing the final attachment tension.

FAQ and count repairs

Why is the petal round not fifteen?

Its five closing slip stitches are actual construction outputs as well as the fifteen tall posts.

Does the initial lifting chain make a sixth receiving base?

No. Count the five actual single-crochet tops.

Can I add a sixth petal without changing the center?

That would repeat an old base and create a different construction. Use the separate original adjustable-flower mode when a different count is intended.

Exact setup, stitch key and complete original sequence

Open the Applique Motif Generator and choose flower. Keep original-flower petals at five and rolled-rose shell petals at six; only the field used by the selected construction affects its recipe. Download the exact original project JSON before making edits. Use compatible smooth yarn, a matching hook, removable source markers, scissors and a tapestry needle. Pin a real sample to the intended backing before committing attachment stitches.

In US terms sc is single crochet, hdc half double, dc double and tr treble crochet. UK mode displays dc,htr,tr,dtr respectively without changing the saved source nodes, counts or coordinates. Ch means chain and sl st means slip stitch. Read each recipe's explicit counting convention: decorative chains, routine joins, petal closures, sewing pairs and embroidery references are different units. A zero-output finishing row does not add another crochet round. Review the stitch-chart guide and compare source lines with the full sequence below.

Use Symbol Chart to locate actual receiving bases, Written Pattern for the complete working route and Stitch Preview for the corresponding loop schematic. These original vector diagrams are not photographs or physical samples. Finished size, drape, outline, suitability and attachment strength depend on the real materials and finishing. Wash and block according to the actual yarn instructions, weave every tail securely and keep the saved project with your measured sample notes.

Every worked row, round and finishing reference

1. Magic ring: ch 1 (not counted), 5 sc; sl st to the first sc, excluding this routine join from the count. Tighten the ring. [5 completed stitches per copy]
2. In each of the 5 old sc work [ch2,3dc,ch2,sl st] into that same base. Move to the next old sc for the next petal. 5 petals: 15 dc, 5 petal-closing slip stitches and 20 decorative chains. The petal-closing slip stitches are included in this round's 20 completed stitches. [20 completed stitches per copy]
3. 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]
