Crochet Button Flower

Taking a simple flower crochet pattern and adding a button in the middle adds that extra touch to the end result and makes any headband, hair clip, hat, or necklace even more adorable!

Materials:

Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmere but any will do and a 4mm hook

Start with a magic circle and make 4 single crochet (sc) in the circle and close the circle (4 stitches).

 

R1: 2 sc in each sc round, join last sc to top of 1st sc with a slip stitch (ss) (8 stitches)

R2: 2 ch then 1 ss in next sc, 2 ch. Repeat all round then join round with ss (8 chain spaces)

R3: In each chain space make 1 ss, 1 chain (ch), 2 double crochet (dc), 1 ch, 1 ss. Complete the round with ss into 1st ss. (8 petals created)

R4: Holding flower facing you, take your hook to the back of the work & insert it round the 1st chain made in R2. Make ss round the chain, ch3, ss round the 1st chain underneath the next petal then repeat 7 times & complete the round with ss into 1st ss (8 chain spaces).

R5: Into each ch sp make 1 sc, 1ch, 3 tr, 1ch, 1 sc. Complete round with ss into 1st sc. (8 petals created).

R6: As in R4 take your hook to the back of the work and make ss round the 1st post of the 1st petal created in R5, ch 4, ss round next post then repeat 7 times & complete the round with ss into 1st ss (8 ch sp).
