African flower octogon

African flower are one of my favorite thing to crochet we usually see it in pentagon form and I was ask if I can do a octagon so here we are

this one is made with 100% coton and I used a 5 mm hook

Start by doing a CH5

Row 1: Join with a slip stitch, CH 3, DC, CH 1, now repeat 2 DC, CH 1, 7 times so you have 8 set of 2 DC CH 1. Join on the top of the first CH 3

Row 2: slip stitch in the first CH 1 space, CH 3, 2 DC, CH 1, repeat 3 DC CH 1, 7 times join in the top of the first CH 3 cut yarn

change color

you join the new color in a CH 1 space

Row 3: CH 3, DC, CH 2, 2 DC, repeat 2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC in every CH 1 space join in top of first CH 3

Row 4: slip stitch in first CH 2, CH 3, 6 DC, slip stitch, 7 DC, slip stitch, continue all around join in top of CH 3 cut yarn

change color

Row 5: SC around on each petal and do a long SC in between petal

cut yarn

change color


Row 6: start on top of a petal do a SC, HDC, DC, DC, now you should be between a petal were's there is a long SC stitch do TR, CH 3, TR in the same stitch, DC, DC, HDC, SC

continue like this all around

join with the first SC you can stop there or ad other rows

if you wish to ad other row HDC or DC all around for the corner do 2 HDC CH 2 2 HDC or 2 DC CH 2 2 DC

and we're done!!!!!
