Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern

Round 1: The Core (Magic Ring with 7 Picots)

Start: Make a Magic Ring (MR).
Step 1: Chain 1 (does NOT count as a stitch).
Step 2: Make 2 Single Crochet (SC) stitches into the MR.
Step 3: Make a 3rd SC, then create a Picot: Chain 3, slip stitch back into the base of this 3rd SC.
Step 4: Repeat the pattern: 3 SC stitches, then a Picot stitch on the third SC.
Step 5: Continue repeating until you have 7 Picots evenly spaced around the ring.
Step 6: Slip stitch into the first SC to close the round.
Save

Visual tip: You’ll have a circular motif with 7 small loops (picots) around the edge.

Round 2: Petal Foundations

Step 1: Chain 2 (counts as 1 Half Double Crochet (HDC)).
Step 2: Chain 4 to create a loop.
Step 3: Work 1 HDC into the center stitch located between the picots from Round 1.
Step 4: Repeat chaining 4, then 1 HDC into the next center stitch between picots around the entire motif.
Step 5: Slip stitch into the 2nd chain of the initial chain 2 to close the round.

Tip: These loops form the bases for petals.

Round 3: Petal Filling

Step 1: Slip stitch into the first 4-chain space created in Round 2.
Step 2: Chain 1 to prepare for working SC.
Step 3: Work 8 Single Crochet (SC) stitches into each 4-chain space all around the motif, fully filling the ‘petal’ loops.
Step 4: Slip stitch into the first SC to complete the round.
Step 5: Cut the yarn and fasten off securely.
Save

Result: The motif’s petals become dense and textured.

Creating the Connector Sides

You will now add loops on the sides to connect the floral motifs together.

Attach Darker Yarn:

Attach darker yarn at the back of the motif counting 4 stitches from the edge. Secure the yarn here.

Make Side Loops:

Chain 6 to form a loop.
Skip appropriate stitches (typically 5 stitches), then slip stitch to the 7th stitch to form this loop.
Turn your work.

Fill Loop Space:

Work 1 SC, then 1 Picot stitch, followed by 3 SC into the loop space.
Repeat this “1 SC + Picot + 3 SC” sequence to fill the loop space neatly.
Save

Continue Pattern:

Repeat making 6-chain loops and fill them with half double crochets (HDC), 12 SC, and 8 SC alternatingly around the side as per design (refer to stitch counts in the video).

Final Assembly

Connect Motifs: Repeat the side loop and filling pattern to connect 5 floral motifs in a row, creating the required length for your mask connector.
Create Button Loops: On one end of the connected motifs:
- Chain 12 (to create a loop).
- Slip stitch to the base to form a button loop.
- Finish with 2 SC stitches to secure.
Attach Buttons: Sew decorative buttons onto the opposite end of the connector strip, aligning with the button loop for closure.
Finishing Touch: Weave ends securely or carefully use a lighter to burn the yarn ends, preventing any unraveling and lending a polished look.
