So this was my second week of crocheting, and I wanted my first project to be cute and fun that could catch me up on the basics. So I went on YouTube and found a video on making a simple flower.
I had never made a flower prior to this one so I was a little nervous but, as soon as I started I got into the flow of it. The creator of the video Crochet Pink Pumpkin made the video very easy to understand and she went through every single stitch explaining what to do. Other than a gaining a refresher of crocheting from this video, my new skill this week was learning how to make the petals. My flower does not look exactly the same as hers, as she used a fluffier yarn than I did.
After making the flower, I wanted to add a stem because I wanted to make the flower a little decoration for my dorm. So I went on TikTok to look for some ideas, which I have never used for crocheting before. I found a video where a girl was making tulips with fluffy yarn. I loved the look of the stem so I decided to wing it and see what I could do.

Above is the link to the TikTok I watched.
So I ended up creating a small bulky stem and used the same technique for the petals as leaves on the stem. The flower turned out absolutely amazing and I was so happy with it that I made more and gave them little loops so I could hang them in the common space of the dorm!
The first flower I made!!
I am super excited for my next project and if anyone could give me any ideas that would be great!
Hi Lily!
I love the pun-title; it is so funny! Crocheting is a great learning project. I always see wobbles in stores, and they look fun with all the unique varieties. The two-in-one of YouTube and TikTok is something that I never thought of using for my learning project. You could try to make coasters or a washcloth; these are just some suggestions! I look forward to seeing what you have next!
