Crochet Brooch

Hello again lovelies! It has been too long since I've blogged my little crochet projects. Thing is, I've had many projects to complete and exams to study for... I didn't have the time to post things up. So here is my first post after a long break...

This little brooch took me around 20 minutes to make. I just love the colours on this yarn that I bought from Jogjakarta early last year. It has many fun colours on it and can be paired with many outfits I have in my closet. I believe I made this brooch in June last year and I have only worn it once. 

This brooch is made up of two pieces of identical crochet flowers stacked together. This is a very simple project. Listed out below would be the pattern I used to make the flowers. Forgive me if there are mistakes as this would be my first time writing out a pattern. Hope it works out for you. Good luck!

This is for those who are not familiar with the crochet abbreviations I used fo the pattern:

Ch --> Chain

sl st --> Slip Stitch

dc --> Double Crochet

ch st --> Chain Stitch

sc --> Single Crochet

hdc --> Half Double Crochet

Ch 4 and sl st to 1st ch st to make a hoop.

Ch 7, dc into hoop. (This creates one petal.)

(Ch 5, dc into hoop) repeat 4 times. (Thus creating 4 petals.)

Ch 5 and sl st into the 2nd ch st on the first petal. (You should now have 6 petals.)

(Sc, hdc, 3 dc, ch 3, 3hdc, 3dc, hdc and a sc) into all 6 petals.

Fasten off and leave a long tail at the end to attach a button of your choice and a pin to make a brooch or you can also use the flowers and attach it onto a hat or a cardigan. It would look great on anything. Thats all I have for you people today! Have a good day and toodles!
