Creating the Flowers
The tutorial begins with creating the flowers. The flower base is made in rounds, starting with a magic ring. The petals are then formed by working a series of stitches in each of the subsequent stitches.
Flower Assembly
To assemble the flowers, yellow yarn is wrapped around your fingers to create the center pollen. A small stick is then inserted through the wrapped yarn and secured inside the crocheted flower. The stick is then wrapped with green yarn to create the stem.
Crocheting the Swing
The swing’s base is crocheted in a similar fashion to the flower. The pattern alternates between two types of rows to create the swing’s body. A stick is incorporated into the final single crochet row to make the swing’s edge firm, and a final row of single crochets is worked with white yarn to create a decorative edge. A loop is then created to hang the swing.
Creating the Leaves and Buds
Leaves are crocheted starting with a chain. The pattern uses a mix of single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets on both sides of the chain, with a stick inserted in the middle for support. Buds are made by crocheting petals in a circular pattern, with a yellow center created separately.
Final Assembly
The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of how to wrap the stand with green yarn and attach the crocheted pieces to create the final swing. The finished flowers, leaves, and swing are arranged on the stand to create a beautiful decorative piece.
