Several people have requested a quick video tutorial of this five petal crochet flower. The reason it has taken me this long is a) I hate the sound of my voice on video b) it was not a quick process at all and c) since it was just me on my own, getting it set up and in focus, and then shot before a child/neighbour/postman/anyone needed my attention, was practically impossible.
So here it is- don't you just love the arty way that the letterpress card with 'R" on it is beautifully in focus whilst my crocheting hands are not so much? Well they were, on the take before this one, where I ran out of wool halfway through the last petal and in the one before that where Rose has a fit of coughing in the background.... I'm sure I'll get around to making a clearer, less tedious one but for now, I hope it helps.
Thank you so much! Your video must be magical, because mine now turn out almost as pretty as yours are.
And - not to sound creepy - I think you sound just fine; your voice is very elegant =).
Thanks, again!

Hi, Do you have written instructions for these flowers? I just forget what to do next.

Your video is wonderful! I had to stop and translate from Uk stitch names to US stitch names but other than that it was very easy to follow. I'm working on a shawl for my 94 year old grandmother and I am making all kinds of flowers and putting them together. This one will certainly be in it! I also have been looking for some helpful sites for a friend in the UK who wants to learn and I will be passing you along to her. :-)
For anyone who might need it here are the US translations for the stitches
UK USA
Double Crochet is a single crochet
Treble is a Double Crochet
Half Treble is a Half double crochet
Double Treble is a triple crochet
Slip stitch and chain are universal to both.
Thanks again for the time and effort to make this
