Think I will just stick with my nifty knitter flower loom, thanks.

For the layered flowers size G hook and worsted weight were recommended. But
I suppose it would depend on what you wanted the flowers for. Some color
combos could be yellow and white for a daisy, or brown and yellow for a
black-eyed Susan.

What size crochet hook and what weight yarns work well?
 
Gee Whiz if folks don't get how to do this maybe we can have you do a class
or a evening crochet together.

I say,  keep up the great work with the Krafter's Korner.

Hi Joyce and  all,
When I was making the cupcake last night in the class it reminded me  of the
layered crocheted flowers I have made. Have you ever offered a class  to
make them. they are actually called appliqués and are used to put on
clothing as decoration. They are quick and easy except when you are  me!

The pattern:

Crocheted layered flower


To begin,  wrap the yarn around your finger once and make a magic ring. If
you're not  familiar with the magic ring, you can also just work into  the
first slipknot-I do this quite often.

Start by working round  1 into the magic ring. Here I've chained 2 and am
about to hdc into the  ring. 

Round 1: Ch 5 (counts as hdc, ch 2), (hdc, ch 2) in ring 5 more  times, sl
st in 3rd ch of beginning ch to join-6 ch-2 sps.

Round 2:  (Sl st, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sl st) in each ch-2 sp around, sl st in
first sl st  to join-6 petals.

Turn to work on the back side of the flower for the  next step. 
This next step is where it can get a little tricky. You're  going to work
the next round on the back side of the flower. Ch 1 to  prepare. If you
like, you can also fasten off the yarn from the first set  of petals and
change colors, which I did to more clearly illustrate the  next steps. If
changing colors, join the new color around any dc post from  round 1.

On the back side of the flower, make a single crochet around  the first
double crochet from round 1. 
Begin by bringing the hook under  the post of the dc, yarn over, and draw a
loop to the side of the post  closest to you. Bring the hook over the dc
post, yarn over, and draw the  yarn through the 2 loops on your hook. Work
round 3 into the dc posts of  the first round.

Round 3: Ch 1, sc around first dc from round 1, ch 5,  (sc around next dc
from round 1, ch 5) 5 times, sl st in first sc to join-6  ch-6 loops.

Turn back to the right side of the flower and work round 4  into the ch-5
loops you just created on the back side of the  flower.

To make the second layer of petals, you'll work into the ch-5  loops you
just created on the back side of the flower. Work round 4 with  the right
side of the flower facing you, as shown above.

Round 4:  (Sl st, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sl st) in each ch-2 sp around, sl st in
first sl st  to join-6 petals.

You can add more layers to your flower by working a  5th round of scs and
ch-5s (or ch-6s, or higher) around the same dc posts  from round 1, and
working a 6th round of petals into those ch-spaces.  Experiment with the
number of stitches in the petals of the later rounds to  see what kind of
effects they give your flower.

An easy way to  finish your flower is by sewing a button to the center.

You can also  add fringe to the center of the flower.
Working with 1 or 2 strands at a  time, double the strand and use your hook
to pull the loop end under one of  the double crochets from round 1. Bring
the hook over the double  crochet, and wrap the yarn ends around it, then
draw them through the loop  on the hook. Pull the yarn ends taut and add
several more strands of fringe  around each dc. When all of the fringe has
been added, trim it to a  consistent length with scissors. I made mine
really short-----Original  Message-----

Maybe I need to find some other fun small crochet  projects to have classes 
 
on.  That way it would be fun for  practice and a 1 or 2 class  project.

This Cupcake one I have had  for quite a while.

Hi  Joyce,
I  want to thank you for the nice class too. It was fun. I have a  long way 
 
to go before crocheting is my all time favorite pass time. lol But I   
actually think I can do this. We'll see how things are next week.  lol

I  decided to start it over with a bigger hook and bigger  yarn. If it
works, I am  lucky. If it doesn't, I can say I tried.  Also, I will know
more

about  crocheting after  trying.
