Flower Bunch Once Again:

Fig 1 |
Always we have left over yarn and a question that what to do with these small pieces of yarns. So I again solved it by making this beautiful flower bunch. Before this also I had made one bunch of Tulip flowers. Please see,
https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/search?q=Tulip+flowers
First I made the flower in fig 2, in which the petals were loose and hence the petals turned automatically after some time.
Then I saw Natagor Fynolson's flowers and I note that she used wire or insert wire in petal, in order to keep them stiff.

Then I tried to make bigger one so I took 8 scs for upper level petals and 10 scs for lower level petals, the out come is fig 3
But still I was not satisfied. Then I made both layers of petals with same number of single crochets and the result was good! See fig 4.

Pattern: In a magic loop make ch 1, sc 9, close by slip stitch (sl st) (9sts)
R2: ch 1, sc 1 in each st, close by sl st.(9sts)
R3:(Foundation for 9 petals) {ch 10, sl st in each ch starting from second, sl st in the first st (beginning st), sl st in next st} repeat 9 times ( 9 foundations for 9 petals) Fig 5.
R4: In this round we insert wire while working. Join wire and fix it, as in fig 6. While working sc let the wire be on the crochet hook as in fig 7 so that it is inserted in last round and the petal becomes stiff.
[Single crochet (sc) 1 in each st on both sides of the foundation petal. At corner we may have 1 sc extra, sc 1 in the beginneing st] repeat for all 9 petals.
Make two such pieces.

R2: ch 1 sc 1 in each st, close by sl st (16 sts)
R3: [ch 4, sl st in each ch starting from second, sl st in a starting st, sl st in next st] repeat 16 times.
See fig 8.

Central Portion of Flower: In a magic loop make ch 3 and 10 double crochets (dc), close by sl st. See fig 10.
I always saved what ever waste yarn I have ( may be very small in size). See fig 11. Insert some fiber or waste yarn in side it and sew it to the middle of upper layer of petals.

Then insert the sepal at the bottom of second layer of petals and fix it by sewing.
Lastly assemble all parts and you will get a beautiful flower.
Make different colored flowers and have a beautiful bunch as in fig 1.
