Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Foundation Round
- Start with a Slip Knot and create Ch 5.
- Join into a ring using a Sl st in the first chain to form a small loop.
Step 2: First Round (Almond Shapes)
- Ch 3 (counts as the first Dc). Wrap yarn over the hook and work a Dc into the ring.
- Make another Ch 3.
- To create an almond shape:
- Work a partial Dc: Yarn over, insert hook into the ring, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the first two loops only (leave the remaining loop on the hook).
- Work another partial Dc in the ring.
- Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook to close the almond shape.
- Ch 3 and repeat the almond shape process until you have 8 almond shapes.
- After the last Ch 3, join with a Sl st to the top of the first almond shape.
Step 3: Second Round (Adding Depth with Almond Doubling)
- Switch to new yarn color.
- In the space created by the Ch 3 next to the first almond, begin your first double almond:
- Wrap yarn over the hook, work a partial Dc into the space, leaving the last loop on the hook.
- Work another partial Dc in the same space.
- Yarn over and pull through all loops to close the almond.
- Ch 3, then create another almond using the same process in the same space (2 almonds in each space, separated by Ch 3).
- When moving to the next Ch-3 space, do NOT chain; rather, repeat the process of creating 2 connected almonds with Ch 3 in between.
- Repeat for every Ch-3 space from the previous round.
- At the end of the round, slip stitch into the top of the first almond to finish the round.
Step 4: Third Round (Expanding the Motif)
- Switch to the other yarn color.
- In the first Ch-3 space:
- Work 3 Tr, Ch 3, and 3 Tr (this forms the corner).
- Move directly to the next Ch-3 space and repeat the sequence:
- 3 Tr, Ch 3, 3 Tr in every Ch-3 space from the previous round.
- Do NOT chain between sections when moving from one space to another.
- Finish the round with a Sl st into the first Tr cluster.
Step 5: Fourth Round (Creating Leaf Edges)
- Use a new yarn color and attach it in the Ch-3 space from the previous corner.
- In that space:
- Work 4 Dc, Ch 3, and 4 Dc.
- Secure with a Sc between the previous treble clusters.
- Repeat the process in every Ch-3 space around the motif.
Step 6: Fifth Round (Corners and Double Treble Expansion)
- Start at a corner by attaching your yarn in the Ch-3 space.
- Work 3 Tr, Ch 4, and Trtr (Triple Treble) into the single crochet between two leaves.
- Ch 4 and repeat the Trtr into the next single crochet space.
- For each corner:
- Work 3 Tr, Ch 3, 3 Tr.
- Continue this process of alternating between corners and intermediate stitches around the motif.
Final Round (Edge Finishing)
- At each corner Ch 3 space:
- Work 2 Dc, Ch 3, 2 Dc.
- Along the straight edges:
- Work 1 Dc into each Dc from the previous row, and 3 Dc into each Ch-3 space.
- Complete the round by slip stitching into the starting Dc.
Conclusion
The crochet motif is now complete. This pattern highlights almond shapes, treble clusters, decorative corners, and elegant spacing for a detailed and sophisticated look. You can join multiple motifs to create larger projects or use the motif alone as a decorative piece.
Pattern Correction
- Ensure consistent tension and maintain even spacing for almond shapes.
- Always adjust for symmetry when transitioning between rounds, particularly when adding new colors.
Tips for Beginners
- Use stitch markers to highlight the corners for easier identification.
- Practice the triple treble stitch (Trtr) before starting the motif to ensure mastery of its steps.
- For clean color changes, fasten off securely after each round and weave in ends neatly.
