Spruce up your boring humidifier with some crochet flowers!
I like humidifiers, but they are really boring to look at. This can be quickly solved by hooking a cute cozy!

Gauge: one flower measures 4 cm (1 3/5 inch) in diameter. The cozy itself measures 20 cm (8 inch) wide around and 18 cm (7 1/10 inch) high.

For this pattern you need to know the following (US terms):

How to chain (CH)
How to make a Slip Stitch (Sl St)
How to make a Single Crochet (SC)
How to make a Double Crochet (DC)
How to make a Magic Loop (if you don't know how to make a magic loop, you can do a *chain 2, begin in second chain from hook*)

Step 1
First flower (flower pattern) :

Begin with magic loop; CH 3 (counts as first DC), DC 11 in magic loop. Close circle with a Sl St in the top of the CH 3.
Step 2
second round: CH 3, 4 DC in the same stitch ( this is the first petal),
Step 3
slip stitch in first stitch, *slip stitch in next stitch, CH 3, 4 DC, slip stitch in next stitch*
repeat from * until you have six petals. You end with a single Sl St in the last stitch. Cut off yarn and weave in ends.

(the ch 3, 4 DC is your petal. The ch 3 counts as one DC)
Step 4
Now you need to join your first two flowers together:

Work the flower pattern up to the last petal. For the last petal: CH 3, DC 2 in same stitch. Insert your hook into the middle stitch from a petal from the other flower. Make a SC to join the two flowers together. Finish the flower pattern.

Repeat until you have a vertical row of 4 flowers. Join these flowers in the middle petals of the previous flower.
Step 5
Join the first flower on the side:

Work 4 petals of the flower.

Next petal: CH 3, DC 2, SC in the middle stitch of the first side petal of other flower, finish petal. (See picture)
Step 6
Last petal: CH 3, DC 2, SC in the middle stitch of the first side petal of other flower, finish flower. (See picture)
Step 7
Joining the second flower to the top- and side flower:

First petal: CH 3, DC 2, SC in the middle stitch of the bottom petal of the above flower, finish petal. Work next two petals as steps 5 and 6. Finish the flower. (see picture)
Step 8
Repeat steps 5 to 7 until you have a rectangle of 4 flowers high and 5 flowers wide.

Joining the sides together:

Fold the piece in half lengthwise with the right sides together.
Step 9
Beginning with slip knot on hook; *SC in second and third stitch from petal, CH 2, SC in second and third stitch from petal, CH 6* repeat to end, ending with a SC 2.
Step 10
Weave in the ends and admire your new humidifier cozy :)

Hi Cristina,

I don't know where you live, but here in Holland we have ceramic 'baskets' where you put in water and hang on your radiator so the warmth will evaporate the water, thus humudifying the room if that makes sense
