In this pattern, we will learn a new crochet technique—Incomplete Double Crochet. This method creates a rounded bump, adding a more three-dimensional effect to the finished flower.
Incomplete Double Crochet:
- For a standard double crochet, yarn is wrapped and pulled through the first two loops, then wrapped again and pulled through the remaining two loops on the hook.
- For an Incomplete Double Crochet, you only yarn over and pull through the first two loops, leaving two loops on the hook. This counts as one Incomplete Double Crochet. Each additional Incomplete Double Crochet will add another loop to the hook.
Let’s start crocheting the flower:
- After completing the slip stitch, crochet 3 chain stitches.
2. In the same stitch, work 3 Incomplete Double Crochets.
3. In the next stitch, work 3 more Incomplete Double Crochets. This totals 6 Incomplete Double Crochets, leaving 7 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook.
4. Crochet 3 chain stitches, then work a slip stitch in the next stitch.
5. Repeat the above steps 5 times to complete the crochet.
