Q&A for How to Crochet a Flower

To execute the Foundation Single Crochet (FSC), start by making a slipknot and placing it on the crochet hook. Chain two, insert the hook into the first chain, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through one loop on the hook to create a chain. Finally, yarn over once more and pull through both loops on the hook, forming the first foundation single crochet stitch. Repeat this process, alternating between inserting the hook into the chain and creating single crochet stitches, to establish a foundation that combines the chain and the initial row of single crochets in one seamless technique.

It depends on how skilled you are at doing it, the first flower I crocheted took half an hour.

If you want the middle to be small, start out with 4 chains.

Crocheting is possible with your fingers, but for this project, I would say that this is near impossible.

Once you've done the double crochet, the triple crochet, and the slip stitch, then you move to the next petal. The slipstitch is between the two petals.

Don't worry! If you have a good teacher it's not hard to crochet at all. It just depends on how easily you learn new things and how much effort you put into it.

It depends on what you're making and how big you want to make the item. As long as you make the chain is how wide the item will be, generally.

You dial it back with how tight your making it.

Start like a normal stitch (hook through the stitch, yarn over, pull through the stitch), but then do that again in the next stitch. You should have three loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all three loops.

Yes you could, but the larger you go the more limp the flower will be.

The number you will need to chain depends on how big you want your flower, so there's no designated number.
