Materials: Worsted weight cotton in two
colors. A multicolored strand and a solid color look great, or two
solid colors together will work too. If you're feeling really
creative, you could even use a third color for the connecting of the
motifs and sewing them together.
Hook size: 4-5mm (G-H), or whatever
size you usually use with your cotton.
Embroidery needle to sew in ends and
for attaching to make starburst appear.
Crochet 5 motifs:
With the color A (multicolored) Chain
5, sl st to close the circle.
Round 1: Chain 3, 3dc in the circle,
chain 6, * 4dc, chain 6 *. Repeat 2 times from * to *. Sl st in the
3rd loop of starting chain. Finish off. (Four 4dc groups
and four ch6 loops)
Row 2: With the color B (white), join
in a ch 6 loop. Chain 3, 11dc in the same space * 12dc in the
following space*. Repeat 2 times from * to *. Sl st in the 3rd
loop of starting chain. Finish off.
Attaching: Place motifs facing up.
With color A, join at the beginning of one 12dc cluster. Sc around
the top of that cluster and the next. (24 sc). Join with a sc to the
2nd motif at the beginning of a 12dc cluster. Crochet in
next 23 dc. (24 dc) Continue for all five motifs. On the last motif,
crochet all the way around, and join back to the fourth motif. You
will crochet back around the bottom of all the motifs. Slip stitch in
the first sc. All squares should have a row of color A around them.
Tie off. Use your tail to tie the first motif to the fifth motif with
all motifs facing up.
Making the starburst:
You will be using a strand of cotton
yarn in color A to sew the motifs together, and then you will press
the corners out to make the starburst. Connect your yarn to the sc between the two inside 12dc groups on the first motif. Thread between
the two inside 12dc groups on all five motifs and back to the first
one, then pull tight. Finish off.
Pull the petals out from each group and
flatten. If you want them to stay permanently, you can tack them down
with a small piece of yarn or sewing thread, or you can gently iron
them on steam press.
