Crochet lotus - diagram and description
Before you start knitting, you need to familiarize yourself with the crochet lotus pattern. It consists of several parts, including a general diagram and a pattern diagram. The overall pattern shows how to knit the petals around the center section, and the pattern chart shows how to knit each individual petal.
Step-by-step description of the rows:
- Start with the center section. Tie a magic circle and knit 12 single crochets (SC) in it. Then connect the first and last sc stitches together and secure the thread.
- In the next row, knit 2 sc in each stitch of the previous row. The result will be 24 sc.
- And in the third row, knit one sc into the first column of the previous row, then 2 sc into the next column and repeat this pattern alternating 1 and 2 sc until the end of the row. At the end of the row there should be 36 sc.
- Next, in the fourth row, knit one sc into the first column of the previous row, then 2 sc into the next column, 1 sc into the next column, 2 sc into the next column, and this pattern alternating 1, 2, 1 and 2 sc until the end row. At the end of the row there should be 48 sc.
- Then in the fifth row, knit one sc in the first column of the previous row, then 2 sc in the next column, 1 sc in each of the next two columns, 2 sc in the next column and repeat this pattern alternating 1, 2, 1, 1 and 2 sc to the end of the row. At the end of the row there should be 60 sc.
Completing the craft
Next, we begin to knit the petals. Knit the petals around the center piece using the pattern pattern. To do this, insert the hook between two sc stitches, start knitting 3 chain stitches (CH) and knit 1 double crochet in the next sc stitch. Then knit 4 sc stitches and secure the thread.
Move to the next pair of sc and repeat step 6 for each pair of sc until you have worked petals around the entire center piece.
Once you have worked the petals around the entire center section, finish the work by knitting the last row of sc around the entire work. Fasten the thread and remove the ends.
That's all! You now have a beautiful lotus that you can use as a standalone design or as part of a larger piece. We hope that our diagram and description will help you in crocheting a lotus and bring you pleasure from this creative process.
