Flower

This embellishment is so quick and fun, you can whip up a whole bunch in just a short amount of time. I also like it because it looks like a cherry blossom and makes me think of my brother stationed in Japan. To start chain 5 then slip stitch into the first chain, creating a circle. Now the petals: for the first petal, you'll start by chaining 1, this counts as the single crochet you'll do between each petal after this. In the hole you made in the circle, not one of the chains, do the following: hdc, dc, hdc. That's it. You'll do each petal 5 times, with a sc between each, except after the last petal you will slip stitch into the first chain you made. That little tiny stitch that almost doesn't look like one is the chain you need to slip stitch into. Then tie a knot and weave in the ends to the back, the knot won't be noticeable once you weave the ends in. I need to make a few light pink ones to add to one corner of my scarf to dress it up a little. Any embellishments you're fond of that you'd like to share?
