CROCHET: African flower tutorial PART TWO | Bella Coco

[@randineff2740]

Bella, I cannot read a pattern to save my soul. Thank you for taking the time to illustrate just how beautiful this project is. Once I see it and make one with you, I am able to reproduce the same product with ease. I am now impressing myself on my talents. Thank you again.

[@luvmyjujuntootie]

I cannot read pattens either its like greek. Its so easy this way

[@makeupyourmind2019]

I'm the same, I have to see it.

[@roxannestrauss6081]

I have the same problem can not make sense on reading pattern I just started crocheting since these videos been done. Learning a lot.

[@Dodgystitch]

I cannot read a pattern either ,someone gave me a sloth kit to crochet and I can't understand what its telling me to do

[@SunflowerAspenPlays]

Thank you! I know this video is old, but it helped me immensely when i couldn't visualize what the written pattern wanted from me. Now I can make an african flower turtle for my love ❤

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@elainemay3917]

Bella Coco ,I learnt to crochet by watching your tutorials for beginners after many years and several People trying to teach me to crochet without success I came across your tutorials during lockdown in 2020 and since my first day of learning to present day I have crocheted 1 double blanket ,6 single blankets ,3 poncho's ,6 matinée coats and I'm now working on a throw using the African flower tutorial and to make the matinee coats I managed to follow a pattern ,thankyou so much for your tutorials you have taught me to do something I had given up ever learning to do ,I have recommended you to lots of people who have wanted to learn how to crochet x

[@bellacococrochet]

That is so good to hear, thank you for your lovely comments they really do mean a lot to me :)

Hi Bella I'm an Aussie aged 62 from Australia and l knit. These videos are great, want to Thank you for all your patience, love how slowly you go.

[@stunzak]

oh mygodd please never delete these tutorials this helps so much for a written pattern i’m following ur amazing !

[@laniezarro]

I love this totural! It's very easy to follow. I'm not new to crocheting. I learned how from my mother, but she only taught me how to do chains and double stitch before she passed away. I've made blankets, pillows, clothing, etc from those basic stitches throughout the years. I'm finally starting to learn more and these videos are helping me so much! You are making crocheting fun again for me. Thank you for bringing the joy back!

[@ZombieLenoa]

Thanks for making this video. This was SO MUCH help. I bought a book to try and learn how to do these but for the life of me I had no idea what that thing was talking about. Much easier to learn by watching than by reading.

[@bellacococrochet]

ZombieLenoa yes i fell the same when I'm learning things! :) x

[@juliewatson1967]

I've only recently started crocheting. I can't read a pattern but your tutorials are fab. Granny squares, solid squares, sunburst squares and now i can do african flower hexagons...they are so pretty! Thank-you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@lisacatherineoblsb]

+Brie Powers , Did you use Christmas colours, or just day to day use ?? I honest not sure if I should make with colours for all the time use, or just holiday things. And Great job to make those, what a great gift to give.

[@LaurieGolightly]

Hi Sarah-Jayne, you completely made crochet click for me and now I'm making all kinds. I'd love to make a blanket from these but I have no idea how big each motif is so I can work out how many I need. You've also got me hooked on Love Knitting too. x

[@bellacococrochet]

Laura Strike as a guestimation (as i don't have one in front of me) i wold say they are about 2 1/2 inches in size xx

[@Kellster091283]

Great! It will probably take a little while because I am working on Christmas gifts at the moment, but I will definitely be showing off the finished project. I just love this pattern and the idea of a wavy edged cowl.

[@janicesmith9480]

you make everything easy.. thank you so much. looking forward to more x

[@eilbobuser]

While I have crocheted for many years, new squares/tutorials are great. There is always something new to learn. You are an excellent teacher. Being left handed, I like them too. I am going to make this African square, it is beautiful. Is there any place the pattern is written down. It would be easier than writing as you go.

[@gemmachizary8379]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! I can't get my head around patterns and you make it so easy! Would it be possible for you to make a tutorial on how to make a half flower? Thanks again.

[@FemkeKokke]

@bellacoco, you know what would be really really great? 😊 to have an extra tutorial for how to tearn these hexagons in to a blanket? How do you fill up the empty space? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@bellacococrochet]

[@hemadcruz2428]

Hi Sarah!!! I love all your videos.. and learned how to crochet just by watching your clear and simply explanatory videos. magnificent! if you don't mind, I have a request. I would like to learn to make a lotus or a water lily. there are other videos posted on them however are not as clearly explained n shown as in your videos. Kindly let me know if you could post one. Keep up the good work!

[@DebbyShoemaker]

I have found the easiest way to connect flowers is with a large needle. You can quickly use a long length of yarn and stitch them together.

[@bellacococrochet]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@lynnwilson3023]

I love you tutorials, i have only been crocheting a month and i learned from your tutorials, i am making a throw now using this african flower, do you have a tutorial for a half hexagon to make the sides straight before i add an edging xx

[@MissTithe]

Thank you so much for this 2 part tutorial, it's so easy to follow and I got it right first time with your video!! I was wondering if you could do a variation of this tutorial in a Pentagon shape instead of the hexagon keeping the flower the same?? I really struggle to follow other videos showing it and it would be very helpful! Thank you xx

[@shamsamehmood4420]

Hi Sarah-Louise, Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to you for getting me back into crocheting and becoming very proficient and loving making baby blankets for all my friends in different patterns; daisy flower; sunburst and I am currently making an African flower baby blanket for my niece. I would love to learn how to make a blanket with the Persian tiles pattern, any chance you could put together a tutorial? thank you so much, Shamsa xxx

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome and I will add this to my list of possible future tutorials 🙂

[@jankuhnert4768]

Beautiful, thanks so v much, I've just made my first flower in 'kingfisher' colours with a Sirdar cotton DK yarn (a strong aqua colour, orange, brown and cream) looks divine. Stupid question I know .... do I join all the sides the same way and at the same time? I'm wanting to join lots of flowers for a shawl, thanks again, love your site, Jan

[@bellacococrochet]

Jan Kuhnert Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by the same way at the same time? I'd love to try and help you more x

[@cazuolmanjes1259]

I think Jan means, do you tie off at each side of the six sides of the hexagon or continually going around in one go around the entire six sides and tie off once. I was wondering the same thing

[@Dodgystitch]

I love your videos , taught me to do a granny square so I thought I'd try doing something different so I've had a go at the african flower and my first time doing it I've made 1 mistake it's not really noticeable but I know it's there lol but I know now for the next one where I went wrong , I wanted to ask I have a rainbow yarn can I do it in one go without the stopping and changing colour just carry on the pattern with the same wool .

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much 😊 Yes you could absolutely use a rainbow yarn, or even just one solid colour throughout, so you don’t have as many ends to sew in - but it will obviously look a little different to how it does when using different colours for each round.

[@yomnaeid9767]

Thanks a lot, if I want to make a pillow how much yarn should I use? Thanks again, I enjoyed it too much.

[@rcananda]

your are a great teacher. tq pm

[@makeupyourmind2019]

So, when the flowers all connected, each corner will have more than one US single crochet, or if there is one already, you skip it?

[@gigglymonkey12]

I wish there were counts of how many stitches I should have. Especially round 4. I think mine is off because the last part is frustrating for me because I don’t have enough singles to have it have 4 going down and 4 going up.

[@gigglymonkey12]

Also for the cream colored round, I wish you had just said skip 2 instead. That would have made it much easier
