Hey dear ones

It's almost become a habit for me to create a flower for you every year. This year I've designed a small #puffyflower for you. In keeping with the teddy wool trend. I hope you enjoy my freebie, because I'm looking forward to seeing your work! Until then, all the best!

Material:

Start with the petals and your teddy wool.

Petals (5x)

Do not fill the petals with stuffing. Press the opening of the petal together and close it with 5 sc. Cut the thread and sew it in so that all stitches remain. These will then be connected directly to the bud at a later date.

1st round:

5 sc in Fr.

You can always crochet the popcorn stitch nicely into the space.

3rd round:	5x *4POP, ch, 1 sc*	15
4th round:	5x *4POP, ch, 2 sc*	20

In the next round, crochet the petals directly onto the bud.

Start by filling the bud and continue stuffing it until the end (add a rattle element if necessary).

9th round:	5x * 1 sc, dec.*	10
10th round:	5x *decrease*	5

Close the opening by pulling your needle through the outer loops of the last round. Cut the thread and sew it in.

Finally, pick up the visible loops from the 7th round again with a standing stitch and your green yarn.

In these 20 stitches you crochet repeatedly:

*fm; htr, 2 tr, 2 dtr, 2 tr, htr, dc*

Finish the round with a sc and an additional slip stitch in the previously crocheted standing stitch. You will have 3 loops in total.

Cut the thread and sew in any loose threads.

Done! I hope you enjoyed the instructions for your #puffyflower ; I would be delighted if you left a lovely comment or visit me on my social channels.

All the best, Mea
