Flower chart: Crochet Chart Maker

Account for five centers and five complete petals

This five-petal applique worksheet contains five foundation single crochets, fifteen petal double crochets, five petal-closing slip stitches and twenty decorative chains. The main construction count is twenty-five outputs; forty-five occupied canvas positions additionally include the decorative chains. The two accounting totals intentionally differ. A chart that shows only the fifteen tall posts would omit both the center and necessary petal closures.

Keep each petal in its own old center stitch

Make the five-sc magic-ring center and join as specified. In each old center stitch work the complete sequence of chain two, three double crochets, chain two and a slip stitch back into that same base. Move to the next old center stitch before beginning the next petal. The five closing slip stitches belong to the petal construction, while the routine center join and initial lifting chain are handled separately in the source.

Review a snapped outline against the actual receiving map

Five evenly spaced petals advance seventy-two degrees around a center, which cannot be represented by the editor's forty-five-degree rotation increments. The worksheet approximates orientation while preserving all named symbols and their source labels. Use its coordinate table to identify each petal's three posts, four chains and closing slip stitch, then check the written insertion base. The canvas does not automatically connect those tokens into a physical flower.

FAQ and attachment

Are blank cells skipped foundation stitches?

No. They separate parts of the drawing.

Can I sew through the visible petal tops?

The saved construction instead attaches through the center and petal bases so the tops remain free.

Does the diagram prove the petals lie flat?

It records the counts and arrangement. Actual yarn, hook, tension and blocking need a physical sample.

Exact editor setup and independent source files

Open the Crochet Chart Maker with 43 columns and 43 canvas rows. Download the exact editable original worksheet and retain its palette, rotations and blank cells. For crocheting use smooth compatible yarn, a matching hook, scissors, markers and a tapestry needle. A physical swatch is required for dimensions, flatness, surface suitability and material consumption. This is original vector construction documentation, not a photographic or physically certified finished sample.

Five center sc plus fifteen petal dc and five petal-closing slip stitches are 25 main outputs. Twenty decorative chains are also drawn. Read the uncounted lift and routine center join in the source. Read the stitch-chart guide alongside both files. In US terms sc,hdc,dc,tr mean single,half double,double and treble crochet; UK labels become dc,htr,tr,dtr. Canonical saved symbols and coordinates remain the same. The editor's free-placement row list inventories diagram cells; the complete source sequence below supplies the actual working order. Arbitrary later edits require a new connection review.

Source 1: complete counted construction

Download source 1 for applique-motif and restore it in its matching generator. Source counts: 5 completed source units, 20 completed source units. Lay the flower flat and open each petal gently. Pin to the receiving fabric without stretching the center. Use the long tail to sew through the back of the center and the base of each petal. Keep sewing stitches out of the visible petal tops. Secure and weave the tail on the wrong side; inspect for loose loops before use. Algorithm-checked construction; no physical crochet sample is claimed. Only the named construction is supported.

1. Center and petals (make 1), row/round 1, color #CE7043: Magic ring: ch 1 (not counted), 5 sc, sl st to the first sc. Tighten ring; the joining slip stitch does not count. [5 source units]
2. Center and petals (make 1), row/round 2, color #CE7043: In each of the 5 sc work [ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st] into the same stitch. The slip stitch closes that petal; move to the next sc for the next petal. 5 petals, 15 dc, 5 petal slip stitches and 20 chains. Fasten off and weave the center tail into the back; leave a tail for attaching. [20 source units]

Columns and canvas rows below are one-based screen coordinates, counted from the top left. Each entry names its actual stitch or chain role. Blank positions are layout space. Verify the independent source before crocheting.
