Stem and leaves, make 2
*Note: This is a little tricky at first! It is just creating a shape. You will begin with the first leaf, then work up and back down the stem, and then add the last leaf. It is all written on one line to avoid the confusion of splitting it up into rows.
ch 3, 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2 hdc in last ch, ch 2, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc into the side of the last hdc made, sc into the beginning ch, 2 foundation sc, ch 2, turn, sc in next 4* sts, ch 2, 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2 hdc into the side of the last st made at the *, sl st into the last sc at the bottom of the stem. Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing.
Sew the two pieces together for a thick stem.

Sew the two pieces together for a thick stem.
|
1. After completing the first leaf, you will create the short end of the stem with a ch 2.
|
2. Then crochet along the side of the leaf here to head into making the taller part of the stem.
|
|
3. After working the 2 sc into the side of the leaf, you will begin work on the 2 foundation sc sts.
|
4. To begin the foundation sc, insert hook in the side loop of the last sc you worked, and pull up a loop.
|
|
5. Yarn over.
|
6. Pull through ONE loop. This is what will distinguish this st from just an ordinary sc.
|
|
7. NOW, yarn over and pull through both loops, and that is your first foundation sc!
|
8. Make one more foundation sc.
|
|
9. Now, turn to work back down the stem, and make the other leaf on the other side.
|
10. To make the 2nd stem, ch 2, work 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, and then work your 2 hdc into the side of the last st worked down the stem.
|
|
11. Work the hdc sts here.
|
12 Once you have both stems made, sew them together, back to back, to make one, thick stem.
|
After sewing the stems together, continue on to sew the flower head to the top of the stem.
