Tutor's Suggestions

Choose Yarn Wisely: Select matching or contrasting yarn colors to complement the hair tie. The flower’s versatility means you can use any color combination.
Practice the Puff Stitch: Take a moment to get comfortable with the puff stitch before starting the project, as it is the main feature of the flower.
Work Slowly During Assembly: When attaching the flower to the hair tie, take your time to ensure it is secure for regular use.
Be Creative: Experiment with different bead styles for the flower center, such as pearls or sparkly beads.
Puff Your Petals: Gently shape and puff up the petals at the end to give the flower a fuller and more polished look.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base of the Flower (Round 1)

Step 1: Start with a slip knot on your hook.
Step 2: Chain 4 stitches and join them into a ring using a slip stitch.
Step 3: Into the center of the ring, make 6 single crochets.
- Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, pull through (2 loops on hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops. Repeat this process 6 times.
Step 4: Slip stitch into the top of the first single crochet to close the round.

2. Petals of the Flower (Round 2)

Step 1: Chain 2 to begin.
Step 2: Make a puff stitch in the same stitch:
- Yarn over, insert your hook into the same stitch, and pull up a long loop (stretch it to match the height of the chain 2).
- Repeat this step 5 more times. At the end, you should have 13 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and carefully pull through all 13 loops.
Step 3: Chain 3 to close the petal.
Step 4: Find the next single crochet from Round 1 and make a slip stitch to anchor the puff stitch.
Repeat steps 1–4 5 more times to make a total of 6 petals.

3. Finishing the Flower

Step 1: After completing the last petal, slip stitch into the fake stitch created earlier.
Step 2: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and pull it through to secure.

4. Adding the Bead

Step 1: Using a small crochet hook or needle, thread the bead onto the yarn tail from the center of the flower.
Step 2: Position the bead in the middle of the flower and carefully sew it into place.
Step 3: Pull the yarn tail to the back of the flower, weave it in securely, and snip off the excess yarn.

5. Attaching the Flower to the Hair Tie

Step 1: Use the yarn tail to attach the flower to the hair tie.
Step 2: Chain 3–4 stitches (depending on the width of the hair tie), slip stitch around the tie to secure, and finish off.
Step 3: Weave in any remaining tails.

6. Shaping the Petals

Gently push each petal from the back while pulling the chains on the sides downward to puff them up. Repeat for all petals to give the flower a more dimensional look.
