Lace Doodle Thursday: Cherry Blossom Flake




I love cherry blossoms. So cheery and delicate!

This weeks' flake is an homage to one of my favorite flowers:


The flake shown above was worked with DMC crochet thread size 20 and with a .9mm crochet hook.

ch 6, form ring.

Rd 1: ch 5, sc 3rd ch from hook, dc in ring. (ch 3, dc in ring, ch 3, sc in 3rd ch from hook.  dc in ring) 4 times. dc in third ch of beg ch 3 to form last ch 3 sp.

Rd 2: ch 1 sc in same sp. ch 7, sl st in 2nd ch from hook ch 6 sc in next space. Repeat around; join with sl st to first sc.

bind off, weave in ends, starch.

You know the drill, crocheters; You can do whatever you like with the flakes you make from this pattern. However, please do not change or sell the pattern itself (but feel free to share it all you like!) :-)

  1. Dear Ms. Jackie,
    I LOVE that flower you crocheted!! Unfortunately, whenever I try to learn, I end up with a ball of yarn. Beautiful, right?
    Anyway, to the point. I need a picture to sketch for art. I chose the cherry blossom above. Can I reproduce it in my picture?
    Thanks, Bushra
