Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create the Base
- Magic Circle:
- Begin by forming a magic circle.
- Round 1:
- Chain 1, single crochet into the same chain space, and mark the chain.
- Chain 1 (counts as the first double crochet), then create 13 additional double crochets inside the magic circle for a total of 14 double crochets.
- Pull the circle tight and slip stitch into the chain-marked space.
- Round 2:
- Increase Round: Pull up a single crochet in the slip stitch space, chain 1 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Add another double crochet in the same stitch for an increase.
- Continue placing two double crochets in each stitch around.
- By the end, you should have 28 double crochets. Slip stitch into the chain-marked space.
- Round 3:
- Alternate between 1 double crochet and 2 double crochets (increase).
- By the end, there will be 42 double crochets.
- Round 4:
- Alternate between 2 double crochets and 1 increase (2 double crochets).
- By the end, you will have 56 double crochets.
- Round 5:
- Alternate between 3 double crochets and 1 increase (2 double crochets).
- The total for this round will be 70 double crochets.
- Round 6:
- Alternate between 4 double crochets and 1 increase (2 double crochets).
- At the end, the total stitch count will be 84 double crochets.
Step 2: Begin the Net Design (Base for Flowers)
- Net Pattern (Round 7):
- In the first stitch, chain 1 and mark it.
- Alternate chain 1, skip 1, double crochet across the round. This creates the net pattern as the base for puff flowers.
- Complete 3 Rows of Net Design:
- Repeat the net pattern for a total of three rounds.
3: Create the Puff Flower Pattern
- Start Flowers (Round 10):
- After slip stitching, chain 1 to begin the first puff petal.
- Puff Petals:
- Pull up the loop 4 times into the post of the last double crochet.
- Repeat from the left chain space and the next chain. Yarn over through all loops and close the petal.
- Create 4 petals for each flower.
- Place the first flower after 6 double crochets.
- Place Flowers:
- Add puff flowers after every 6 double crochets around the row, ensuring accurate placement between petals.
- Middle Flower Row:
- In the next row, alternate flower placement so each puff flower aligns uniquely between the previous row of flowers.
4: Finalize the Flowers
- To complete each flower row, alternate chain space placement and finish with centers for each flower’s puff.
- Slip stitch into the starting chain to close the round.
5: Create the Straps
- Single Crochet Foundation:
- Place 2 single crochets into every chain space from the last round.
- Complete 1 additional row of single crochet to reinforce the edge.
- Strap Pattern:
- Chain 5, pull up 3 loops for each puff petal, close them, and repeat until the strap reaches a desired length.
- Attach the strap to the opposite side by slip stitching into the identified stitch.
