Carnation
Introduction
Hello! Here I’ll show you how to crochet a Carnation flower - one of the most meaning-
ful and loved flowers not only around the world, but throughout history as well. Carnation
played a major role as a decor blossom in the ancient Greek and Roman times, and is pos-
sibly the flower carrying the greatest significance in Christianity.
Carnation express Love and fascination, and different colors carry more meanings - dark
red Carnations convey deep love and affection, light red conveys admiration while white
carnations suggest pure love and good luck and, of course, the pink Carnation which sym-
bolizes Mother’s Love.
Carnations are a popular Mother’s Day gift, are the January birth month flower and the 1st
Wedding Anniversary flower.

Once the first round is done, we start cro-

There are 2 sizes of Petals, and each petal is

I included here more photos of strip petals, all with different edges - you don’t need to
make all petals different, as this strip is going to be rolled an be part of the middle part of
the Corolla. It won’t be easy to spot even if all petals have the same jagged edge - the impor-
tant is that the edges are not smooth.
Crocheting several different edges makes the blossom look more interesting and natural, in
my opinion.

Making the Calyx
We achieve the unique shape of the Calyx in
3 stages :

The Calyx will be made of 5 elements.
2 - Attach the Calyx Elements.
Once the elements have been crocheted,
we’ll crochet and sew them together.
3 - Crochet the tips of the Calyx.
Lastly, we’ll crochet the tips of the Calyx. Step 1 - Similar to the Petals, We’ll start with a base
chain row.
Step 2 - Next, we’ll crochet around a metal wire, in Step 3 - Follow the instructions/diagram ...

elements together, with their fronts in front
of each other (front is the curved inwards
face), and crochet their edges together -
working between the posts of both elements
(see photos).
Once all elements have been crocheted
together, we’ll close the Calyx by sewing the
edges.

Once all elements have been connected,

Once all the tips have been crocheted, we’ll
close the Calyx by sewing both edges to-

Making the Calyx (#4) - Finishing
Now, that all the Calyx elements are fin-

ends together.
To keep a conical shape of the Calyx, and
make seem more smooth, we work the nee-
dle in parallel to the faces (see steps 23 and
24).
Once we finish sewing the Calyx, do not cut
the wires or thread, we’ll need them to fix
the Calyx to the stem. Step 22 - Bring both ends together.
Step 23 - Work the needle in parallel to the faces. Step 24 - One side at a time.
Step 25 - Finish at the bottom of the Calyx. Step 26 - Finish by tightening the thread. Do not
cut the thread.

by the sepals and leaves.

element, until --- Step 5 - It looks like this.

Once all elements have been prepared, we
move on to assembly. We’ll start with the
Corolla, by slowly gluing the inner strip to
the stem, and then adding the petals one by

layers of 7 petals each.
Next, we’ll add the Calyx, 4 Sepals and fi-
nally the 4 Leaves.
