Crochet Sophia Flower

Here's a wonderfully simple flower that is airy and lovely. It is incredibly easy and takes less than 20 minutes to whip up! I most recently used is for a headband for Anna's twins, Baylor and Blakely, to use in their photo shoot with TwoForTea Photography.

You  will need a small amount of yarn

and a 4 mm crochet hook. I used 
Red Heart and Susan Bates Hooks.

1. Chain 11 and slip stitch into 

the first chain to form a ring.

2. Chain up 3.

3. Double crochet 23 stitches 

into the ring and slip stitch 

into the top of your chain 3.

4. Chain 4, skip 2 stitches 

and single crochet into 

the third stitch. Repeat 

until you reached your 

initial chain 4, then slip 

stitch into it.

5. Slip stitch into the chain 

4 spot and chain up 3, double 

crochet, and chain up 4, and 

add two more double crochets.

Continue this way until you 

hit the last loop.

6. Double crochet 7 stitches 

into the ring. (No need to 

chain 3 for your first stitch as 

you normally would).

7. Slip stitch between the two 

sets of double crochet. Continue 

along till the end of your work.

8. Slip stitch between your very last 

sets of double crochet, chain up 1, 

pull your loop long, and cut that bad boy.

And there you have. The Sophia flower. Perfect applique for all of your wee mermaids, princesses, ballerinas, and divas. Hope you folks enjoy the pattern and happy hooking!
