FREE Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Creating the Flower Center

  1. Begin with the double magic ring using red thread and size 3 crochet hook.
  2. Whip 11 chains to form the base of the petal.
  3. After completing the 11 chains, add two more chains, then crochet a slip stitch at the 11th chain.
  4. Gradually build the petal by alternating stitches:
    • Use half double crochet, 2-count double crochet, and 3-count double crochet stitches.
    • Knit a triple crochet by looping the thread three times and removing strands in pairs.
  5. After finishing the base of the petal, slip stitch back into the magic ring to complete one petal.
  6. Create five petals by repeating this sequence until the center is complete.

Step 2: Add Contours to the Petals

  1. Start at the first stitch of the petal by knitting 4 single crochet stitches.
  2. In the next stitch, create an increase: two stitches in the same spot.
  3. Crochet 4 more single crochet stitches to reach the tip of the petal.
  4. Form the peak by knitting into the upper chain with:
    • Single crochet, 2 chains, and another single crochet.
  5. Crochet 4 single crochet stitches down the other side.

Repeat this pattern for all five petals. Slip stitch at the beginning of each petal for a neat and defined look.

Step 3: Making the Red Petals

  1. Chain 14 stitches to begin the base of the petal.
  2. Use varying stitches to create texture as you work up and down each petal:
    • Begin with single crochet in the first stitch.
    • Gradually increase stitch size using half double crochet, 2-count double crochet, and move up to 3-count double crochet.
  3. At the peak of the petal, knit:
    • Single crochet, 2 chains, and close with another single crochet.
  4. Complete the second side of the petal using decreasing stitch sizes.
  5. Finish the petal with slip stitches for a polished outline.

Repeat this for six petals to assemble the poinsettia.

Step 4: Making the Green Leaves

  1. Crochet a chain of 16 stitches to start the leaf.
  2. Build texture across the leaf by alternating stitches:
    • Work single crochet, half double crochet, 2-count double crochet, and 3-count double crochet.
  3. At the tip of the leaf, form a peak:
    • Chain 2 stitches, then return to double crochets gradually decreasing stitch size.
  4. Add finer details by creating contour lines along the edges:
    • Knit single crochet stitches, then switch to double crochets to emphasize the spikes of the leaf.
  5. Finish with slip stitches along the chain’s edge for a clean finish.

Create three green leaves for your poinsettia project.

Step 5: Assemble the Flower

  1. Arrange the six red petals in a circular structure.
  2. Apply a small amount of silicone glue to the edge of each petal and join the petals one at a time.
  3. Attach the center flower piece by gluing it securely in the middle, ensuring alignment with the petals beneath.
  4. Add three golden beads to the center as decorative accents.
  5. Position the green leaves around the flower:
    • You can group them on one side or distribute them evenly around the arrangement.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • If creating multiple poinsettias, be consistent with your tension to achieve uniform results.
  • Needle and thread are recommended for attaching the flower securely to fabric projects.
