This document includes patterns and instructions for the Chamomile in two stages - open and
closed, 2 types of sepals and 3 types of leaves.
Finished blossoms measurements:
·Open : ~1.2” (3.0cm) x ~0.4” (1.0cm)
·Closed : ~0.6” (1.5cm) x ~0.4” (1.0cm)
Flower length: ~5.9” (15.0cm)
*Leave a long wire tail for each element you crochet, this would allow you to ensure that
everything is attached firmly, and you can later cut the wire.
*I recommend ironing the finished elements.

The Open Flower Head
The head of the flower is round, slightly raised.
It is crocheted in the round, starting with the
magic ring. In this element, I used the left side
as the visible part. Of course, it doesn't matter
so much so you might as well use the right side
as the outside.

The Closed Flower
A closed flower consists of the same elements
as an open one. It is only smaller. Assembling the
flower is exactly the same as for an open flower.
Finally, after stiffening the petals, fold them up
so that they slightly cover the yellow center of
the flower.

Chamomile Leaves
The most difficult element of a flower to crochet
is because the leaves are very delicate and thin.
For crocheting you only use chain stitches and
slip stitches.
