Notes
Do not join at the end of each round; rounds are worked in continuous spirals. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Move the marker up each time you start a new round.

You will need

E US/3.5mm crochet hook Small amount of worsted weight yarn in red, green and yellow Yarn needle to weave in ends Stitch marker

I used worsted weight yarn and a size E hook, which produced a large 6.5 diameter flower. Try using a finer yarn or crochet thread with a correspondingly smaller hook to give a more compact flower.

Centre Make a magic ring, ch 1. Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st) Rnd 2: in FL only, (sc, ch2, sc) in each st around. (6 st) Rnd 3: in remaining BL of Rnd 1, 5 sc in each st around. (30 st)

The stitches of Rnd 3 will want to crinkle up into a loopy ruffle let them do this! You want them to stick up to form the centre flowers of the poinsettia.

Assembly Instructions
Style A 1. Flatten out each petal/leaf.

2.

Fold the petal up along the centre line, so the two ends of the open edge meet. Using a yarn needle and the long yarn end, make a couple of stitches at the open edge between the two ends, to keep them together.

3.

String all 6 petals together by running a length of yarn on a yarn needle (you can use one of the yarn ends or cut a new length) through the folded edge of each petal.

4.

Run the yarn through the first petal again to form a circle, pull tight and knot to keep it in position.

Styles B and C 1. Flatten out each petal/leaf.

2.

Arrange one leaf over a second, so that one side of the open end of one is over the midpoint of the open end of the next, and they are arranged at approx 60 degrees (think snowflakes or slices of pie to judge the angle you dont have to be accurate).

3.

Use a yarn needle and the long yarn end from one of the leaves to stitch them together, joining the two leaves with small stitches at the end and about a third of the way up the leaves.

4. 5.

Arrange another leaf over the top leaf, in the same position and angle, and stitch in the same way. Continue until all 6 leaves are joined, and each leaf overlaps over one leaf and under another. There should be a small gap in the centre.

6.

Pull any loose yarn ends through to the back.

Final Assembly

You should now have two (or three) rings of petals/leaves and one yellow centre. To finish assembling, arrange each layer by pulling the loose yarn ends through the centre hole of the previous layers, so they are all at the back of the flower. The layer order is (bottom to top):

Large poinsettia: C-B-A-centre

Small poinsettia: B-A-centre

Rotate the layers so their angles are offset and all the leaves are visible.

Divide the yarn ends at the back into two groups and tie the two groups in a secure knot. Depending on what youd like to do with your flower, you can weave in all the yarn ends, leave them long to tie it onto something, or trim them down.

I love an embellishment! What better than a great big daisy. This crochets up fast.

Yarn I Used: Red Heart for the White I Love This Yarn (I do!) for the Yellow Vanna for the Green Oh! and a touch of Red Simply Soft for the ladybug in the center. I(5.5mm) Hook Finished Size: 5" across. Stitches used...lots of chains (ch), slip stitch (ss), single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc) The Flower Center (Yellow): 12 dc in a magic circle. Slip stitch into the first dc and cinch the magic circle closed. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing it onto the flower later.
The Petals (White): -7 sc in a magic circle, ss into the first sc and cinch the magic circle closed. -Ch 1 and two sc in each stitch (14), ss into first sc of the row. -*ch 12 and then ss into next 2 chains of the circle*, repeat *-* 6 times. -*dc 15 times in the next set of chains, ss into next ss after that set of chains* repeat *-* for the next 6 chain loops. -Fasten off. Leaves (Green): chain 15, sc in second chain from hook, sc in next stitch, hdc 1 time into next 3 chains, dc into next 8 chains, dc 5 times into the next chain. This will work you around to the other side. dc into the next 8 chains (opposite side of the other 8 dc), hdc into the next 3 chains, sc into the next 2 chains, ss into the last chain and fasten off. work in tails. Sew the leaves onto the petals with white yarn. Then sew the center onto the petals with yellow yarn. Then a quick sew of red on the yellow center for a ladybug...just for fun!

It would look cute on a hat, on the corner of a baby blanket, pin it to your shirt, Sew it on the side of a tote bag...I like to put crocheted flowers on Pickles leash when we go for walks. Have fun with it. :)
