MARGARITA THE FLOWER [free crochet pattern]

Here I leave the Margarita pattern, a nice flower that, besides being a great playmate, can be the ideal gift to decorate the house (especially for those people who are not good at caring plants 😉 )

To crochet Margarita I used DROPS Safran yarn and a 2,25 mm crochet hook. For the pot I used DROPS Paris yarn and 4 mm crochet hook.

• 

MATERIALS:

● 100% Cotton yarn: green, yellow, off-white (and some scraps of dark green for embroider the eyes – only if you do not use security eyes – pink for the cheeks and black to embroider the mouth).

● Crochet hook according to the thickness of the yarn used. In this pattern used a 2.25 mm crochet hook (You can use a 2.5mm hook and it will be the same) and 4 mm for the pot.

● Black safety eyes (you don´t need it if you make the eyes embroidered)

● Toy stuffing.

● Yarn needle.

● Scissors, sewing pins and stitch markers (if you don´t have  you can use a thread, a hairpin, a safety pin, etc.).

ABBREVIATIONS:

● Mr – Magic ring.    

● Sc – Single crochet.      

● Ch – Chain.   

● St / sts – Stitch / stitches.       

● Sl st – Slip stitch.

● Dc – Double crochet.           

● Inc – Single crochet increase (2sc in one st).          

● Inv dec – Invisible single crochet decrease (2sc together, front loops only).               

● Rnd – Round.     

● OBL – Only back loop. Crochet inserting the hook only in the back loop of the chain.

● OFL – Only front loop. Crochet inserting the hook only in the front loop of the chain.

● [nº] – The number inside the brackets is the total stitches of the round. Ex: [12] means that in total, at the end of the round, there must be 12 stitches.

● (…) xN – Repeat the instructions between the brackets N times. Ex: (1sc, 1inv st) x6, means that we should weave 1sc, 1inv dec 6 times.
