The botanical stitch is a crochet pattern that resembles small flowers or petals. It’s a relatively simple stitch, made up of a series of lows, chains and highs. In this article, we will explain how to crochet the botanical stitch pattern step by step.
Necessary materials:
Crochet yarn of your choice
Crochet hook compatible with the chosen yarn
Step 1: Make the initial chain
Start by making a chain of any length, depending on how long you want your crochet work to be. For demonstration purposes, we will make a chain of 20 stitches.
Step 2: Make the first flower
To start the first flower, insert the crochet hook into the fourth stitch from the hook and make a single crochet stitch. Then make a chain and then make another single crochet in the same stitch as the previous chain. Continue to make two more chains and then double crochet in the same stitch as the previous chain. Make two more chains and then make another single crochet in the same stitch as the previous chain. This will be the first “petal” of your flower.
Step 3: Make the next flower
To make the next flower, chain and skip three stitches in the starting chain. Then, insert the crochet hook into the fourth stitch and repeat the process described in step 2 to make the next flower.
Continue making flowers across the starting chain, leaving three stitches between each flower. When you reach the end of the chain, make a single crochet in the last stitch.
Step 4: Make the second round
Turn the work over and make three chains. Then make a double crochet in the first chain of the previous flower. Make one more chain and then make another double crochet in the same stitch as the previous chain. Make one more chain and then make a single crochet in the same stitch as the previous chain. This will be the first stitch of the second flower.
Continue making the flowers, following the same pattern described in step 2, until you reach the end of the row. When you get to the end, make a single crochet in the last stitch.
Step 5: Repeat the second row
Repeat the second row until your work reaches the desired length.
