The crochet petal stitch pattern is a classic in crochet. I have found it in two separate stitch dictionaries and since have been notified that it also is in a Leisure Arts publication as a large afghan with no border. I love finding stitches that have passed on down through time!

You will be crocheting into the tops of clusters, sometimes into chain spaces, finding single crochet spaces at the end of the rows sometimes, and other times finding the tops of turning chains. If all of that made good sense to you, proceed.

But I never want to discourage anyone from taking your crochet to the next level, so if you are ready to learn a few new things, but have the basics mastered, jump in! This is a fun challenge with pretty results!

Yarn over, yarn over (double wrap of yarn at the beginning of the stitch), insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through (four loops on hook), yarn over pull through two loops on hook, yarn over pull through two loops on hook, yarn over pull through two loops on hook.

Yarn over, yarn over, yarn over (triple wrap of yarn at the beginning of the stitch), insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through (five loops on hook), yarn over pull through two loops on hook, yarn over pull through two loops on hook, yarn over pull through two loops on hook, yarn over pull through two loops on hook.

Rest assured, I most definitely did not! The summer months just threw life into a bit of a whirlwind. With school being out the kids are home and this means more grand adventures and everyone needing mom more.

Fan art is what got me back into crocheting after a long hiatus and has been a personal stress relief and lifesaver over the years. That said, I also strongly value the copyright of these licensed characters.

While, as fans, we may create them because we love, admire, and appreciate them, it is very important that we recognize that the patterns and finished items should only be used for personal use, gift-giving, and spreading kindness not to sell or gain profit.

My work is unofficial and has no connection with the creators in any way. If you are the copyright holder of this character and would prefer that this fan art piece be removed, please contact me and I will be glad to honor your wishes.

>Design Note: When making bobbles some patterns will have you make a chain after you have made the bobble to secure them even more. I DO NOT have you make this chain in the pattern, simply make your next stitch as directed in the pattern.

> Design Tip: I think hole closes more nicely if you close it with your tapestry needle working in the front loops only and work with your needle from the inside of the hole out in each stitch around until the hole is completely closed. Then tie off, bury your yarn end, and cut off any excess.

>Design Note: In the next Rnd you will be making the claws and therefore switching colors back and forth. I personally carried the colors across, alternating between the two rather than cut them each time, but do what is easiest for you. If you cut the yarn each time you may wish to knot the ends on the inside for added security.

>Design Note: When working the legs you will be working in both rounds and rows. When decreasing use the invisible decrease when working in Rnds and a regular decrease when working in Rows.

>Design Note: For the next row you will be alternating colors so watch for these noted changes. I personally carried the colors across, alternating between the two rather than cut them each time, but do what is easiest for you. If you cut the yarn each time you may wish to knot the ends on the inside for added security.

>Design Tip: Remember to add more stuffing right before you finish closing up the attachment for the neck, legs, arms, nose, and tail. When you attach one piece to another it leaves a small gap that otherwise would not have any stuffing in it. Adding stuffing right up to the very end makes a piece feel more sturdy and look more professional.

Also, remember that the best way to always be in the loop about new patterns, techniques, tutorials, giveaways, and crafty fun is to subscribe to the newsletter! Thanks for your support!

i have done this pattern and made the arms over and they still work out slightly different right has working rows and claws infront the left end up with seam in back claws infront why dose the pattern change for each arm one having a row of three and then unworked and the other having 11 and then unworked left arm is short a row compared to right

Hey! Sorry missed your comment and its taken a bit to get back to you. How sweet of you to make it for your little sister. The whole pattern, unless specified, is worked through both loops. Which part of the pattern for steps 6-8 are you having trouble with?

Thank you! This is such a cute pattern! I have been doing crochet for only 6 months but I was able to get through everything with no issues! He is super cute. I put a little fuzzy hair on top too. I really love him. Thanks so much.

Note: At this point you can either cut the White yarn and leave a long tail to weave into the blanket later, or you can bring it with you as you work the next row in Black, by laying the White across the top of your work and crocheting over it as you go. When I made my blanket I chose to always carry the White yarn and crochet over it each time I worked a black row so I could easily pick it up on the other side, and I always cut the Black and left tails to weave in at the end.

ROW 9: With Black, work SC, CH 1 into each chain one space across the row. At the end of the row, pull through with White before you finish the last SC. CH 2 with White and turn (cut the Black).

Repeat rows 9 through 21 for reminder of blanket, until your blanket measures appx. 50 to 55 inches or your desired length. In simple terms, the color pattern I used is 8 rows White, 1 row Black, 3 rows White, 1 row Black.

Round 1: With White, pull up a loop in any corner and chain 2. Work the moss stitch (SC, CH 1, skip 1) around the sides and ends of the blanket. Work 3 SC into each corner. When you reach the corner you started with, slip stitch into the starting stitch, CH 2 and turn.

When I was pregnant with my first child I received a lovely crocheted blanket at my baby shower. I have used it with all three of my girls and it is certainly well-loved. Ever since I learned to crochet the stitch of this blanket intrigued me. I always had intentions of sitting down and figuring it out. Well, the girls dug it out of the closet the other day, so I figured I might as well figure out this stitch.

There is just a 1 row repeat so it is easy to memorize and it creates its own lovely scalloped border. How cool is that?! After the foundation row, all the stitches are crocheted into chain spaces rather than in a stitch. This makes this for a very quick growing project. This is a versatile stitch that would suit a variety of different yarns and projects. From experience, I know that it makes a great baby blanket!

In row 2, after the first stitches, the direction is to: (2 dc, ch 2, sc) in ch 2 sp. You will stitch the 2 double crochets into that space you created with the 2 free stitches in Row 1, then make a 2 stitch chain AND stitch 2 more double stitches into that original 2 free stitches in Row 1 space. You will be able to see the double crochet start to zig-zag, as a result!

Hello everyone! Love this stitch, about to start it for my niece being born at the end of October in a Seafoam green! just wondering what kind of border did you, or anyone else commenting here, use? Its such a pretty stitch I feel like maybe a simple border? just not sure but would love some inspiration! thank you again for the pattern!

Do you have a picture that points out what your talking about with the ch 2 sp then ch3. Are you saying to hook down to the first row into the ch 2 sp. Or a video maybe. I see the pics but nothing is pointed out about what your talking about.

This stitch is one step up from double crochet, because it gives you more height! Thus producing an open look with a relaxed feel, fantastic for shawls, scarves and more! Plus, the large openings are perfect for weaving ribbon throughout!

This easy joining technique can be used in all kinds of crochet projects. Common examples include sewing together pattern pieces for garments, making crochet pillows, or joining crochet squares for an afghan blanket.

For this tutorial, I made two swatches of crochet fabric in different colours and used a third, contrasting yellow yarn to sew them together. This was so you can get an idea of what ends up where and how the seam is hidden.

It may be you are using the tail to join your pieces, in which case you can get into the mattress st right away. I love using tails for sewing seams as it kills two birds with one stone; make your seam and sew in your ends at the same time!

The two images below show a close up of this technique being used to seam the sides of the Winter Solstice Dress. In this case, the seam is being worked into the top of the final row and the back of a foundation row (the top of the two pieces).

In this demonstration, I sewed the swatches together along the top, then turned at right angles to work the next side. You might use this technique to sew together the pieces for a crochet cushion, for example.
