Spruce up your boring humidifier with some crochet flowers!

About

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*)

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 3 mm Crochet Hook
  • Scrap Yarn for 3 mm hook
  • Darning Needle
  • Thread clippers

Steps (10 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    second round: CH 3, 4 DC in the same stitch ( this is the first petal),

  3. 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)

  4. 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.

  5. 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)

  6. 6

    Last petal: CH 3, DC 2, SC in the middle stitch of the first side petal of other flower, finish flower. (See picture)

  7. 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)

  8. 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.

    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.
