Crochet Ruffled Flower Pattern

It happens that I have some extra yarn from a little crochet sling bag project I made for my friend, so I make these crocheted flowers into hair-ties for my friend and her 3 daughters. The hair ties will be nice on them as they all have long and beautiful hair like their mom. I hope the girls won’t fight over the sling bag, as I only managed to crochet one and use the rest of the yarn for the matching crochet flower hair ties.

There are 2 versions of ruffled flowers in this pattern: a full blossom crochet ruffled flower and a beaded crochet ruffled flower. If you happen to be a little short of yarn just before completing a full blossom crochet flower, you can always reduce and adjust the number of stitches in the last round of the pattern.

R3 – ch, *sc on next st of R1, ch2, repeat * 8 times, slst on the first ch of the round. Bring the 8 chain loops to the back of the work.
or you can do the sc and ch2 directly at the back of the work.

• Beaded Crochet Ruffled Flower

Insert beads into the yarn
Follow R1 – R5 above.
R6 – ch4, * ch, tr on the chain loop, ch with 1 bead and slst on the top loop of the tr, ch, tr on the same loop, repeat * 10 times. Repeat 4 times to complete the 4 loops round, slst to the 4th ch at the beginning of the round.
You may do more tr stitches to get a fuller ruffled look on the flower.

Assembly:

Sew a button at the center, keep the yarn, and don’t cut it yet.
Sew an elastic hairband or other accessories to the back. Then fasten and hide the yarn end away.
Add some quick-drying glue to secure the hairband if you wish.

Note:

1. You may do more tr stitches at the last round to get a fuller ruffled look on the flower. Or, reduce the number of tr in each loop just in case you run out of yarn.
2. If you find that it is difficult to insert yarn through the hole of the bead, use a small dot of UHU all-purpose adhesive, PVA craft glue (or Mod Podge) on the end of the yarn and twist the end while the glue is drying to shape a pointy tip. Let it dry for a while, as it will be harder later.

Step-By-Step Photos

R1 – ch2, sc 8 on the second chain from hook, slst on the ch at the beginning of the round.

R2 – *ch2, hdc on next st, ch2, slst onto the same st, repeat * 8 times.

R3 – ch, *sc on next st of R1, ch2, repeat * 8 times, slst on the first ch of the round.
Bring the 8 nos. of 2-ch-loop to the back of the work.
If you are able to make the 2-ch loop at the back of the work directly, skip the next 2 pictures and go straight to R4.

This is the front side, with loops now at the back.

This is what the back looks like after the loops are there.

R4 – ch, sc on chain loop, ch2, dc3, ch2, sc on the same loop, repeat the same on the next loop until you have done all the 8 loops.
Since the chain loops are at the back of the work, you will need to flip the R2 petals a little to work on the loop.

The look after completed R4, where you have 8 petals on both layers.

R5 – ch, *sc on next st of R3, ch 5, skip next R3 st, repeat * 4 times, slst to the first ch of the round.
Bring all the 4 chain loops to the back of the work.
Again, if you are able to do the sc and ch5 directly to the back of the work, skip the next picture.

The look after the loops is brought to the back.

R6 – ch4, * ch, tr on the chain loop, ch3 slst on the top loop of the tr, ch, tr on the same loop, repeat * 12 times.
Repeat 4 times to complete the 4 loops round, slst to the 4th ch at the beginning of the round.
You may customize this round to add or reduce the number of ruffles.

The look after completing the crochet work, fasten off the yarn and bring it to the center of the back.

Sew the button at the center; keep the yarn. Don’t cut it yet.

Sew an elastic hairband to the back. Then fasten and hide the yarn end away.
Add some hot glue to secure the hairband if you wish.

This is another version of a similar layered ruffle flower pattern; just add beads and reduce the number of ruffles at the last round of the crochet work (refer to the pattern above).
