Easy Crochet Pansy
1. Make a MR using pink yarn, chain 4, make 1sc into ring, *chain 3, make 1sc into ring*, repeat from *to* 3 times. Pull MR closed. You should now have 5 chain spaces.
2. Working into the 1st ch sp *make 1sc, ch1, 3dc, ch1, 1sc*
repeat from *to* across the next 2 ch sp. Fasten off leaving a long tail this will be used to embroider the front of the flower later. You should now have 3 pink petals.
3. Working into the next ch sp, join yellow, ch1 (counts as 1st sc), ch1, 3dc, ch1, 1sc, working into the last ch sp make make 1sc, ch1, 3dc, ch1, 1sc. Do not fasten off.
4. Chain 5, holding the flower with the back facing towards you, slip stitch into the last and first stitch BLO of the back of the 2 yellow petals
chain 5, slip stitch into the last stitch BLO of the back of the 2nd yellow petal and the 1st stitch of the back of the pink petal.
5. Turn the flower so the right side is facing you again and working into the 5ch sp, make *1sc, ch1, 5dc, ch1, 1sc*, working into the next ch sp repeat from *to* once. Fasten off leaving a long tail – this will be used to embroider the front of the flower later. You should now have an extra set of yellow petals.
6. Using pink yarn, rejoin in the top of the 1st sc of the 1st yellow front petal, make 1sc in every stitch around the edge of the petal, slip stitch into the space between the 2 yellow front petals. Make 1 sc in every stitch around the top of the second yellow front petal. Fasten off and weave in ends.
7. Repeat step 6 on the outer yellow petals
8. Using the long ends from step 2 and step 5 and a sewing needle, using the yellow yarn on the pink petals and the pink yarn on the yellow petals embroider 3 stitches from the centre of the MR to the middle of each petal. Weave in all loose ends and enjoy!
