Thank you so much...i have just crocheted my first 2 african flowers and joined them together. You have made what was previously a tortureous ordeal into a relaxing and enjoyable (and totally addictive) hobby.

I love how she tells the viewers the US name for the UK treble stitch. I live in the US and it really helped a lot. I love your channel Bella! It's by far the best tutorial crocheting channel I've ever seen :D

You have enabled me to extend my crochet skill to more thsn just beanie hats! I am now making a blanket and your tutorials with their easy to follow instructions ate what has made this possible - thank you!❤

I love this design I'm currently making these to make a blanket for my daughter. would also like to say thank you for making your videos so clear and easy to follow as I am a beginner in this craft.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Love the look of the African Flower Motif, and you make it easy to understand and complete.

Making my first African flower blanket! Thanks for the tutorial!

This tutorial was amazing, i am going to use this patter for a wedding afghan for my Grandson and Grand-daughter-in-law. Wow, will be great, I will try to remember to post it when done.

Started to crochet again after many years of not doing it.....love your easy to follow videos! Thanks to you I have the confidence I can crochet again:-))))

This has helped me so much, I love your soothing voice and your tutorial was so easy to follow.. I am now hooked on these flowers and can't wait to finish afghan and find more of your videos...

I love your channel! You go slowly and you speak clearly. I love that you go down a row, tell us to stop the video and finish that row before we start the video again to the next part. Any other video I've watched I had to stop and start on my own which meant reverse/forward several times. You are my only tutorial from now on!!

Thank you. I tried to do a granny hexagon from other tutorials as thought it would be easier. But I quickly came back to you as you work at such a good pace and are good at explaining things. I actually found this flower EASIER than a hexagon!

Thanks a lot for these tutorials (part 1 and part 2), I tried with several patterns but I found these the most helpfull af all!!!

Clear, concise instructions, along with great quality video. Thanks!

Thank you. Thank you to go slow so this old Stroke mind able to follow.... What a wonderful video you make. Blessings.

Lovely pattern. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try this!

I made these using this great tutorial, but they curled slightly so I'm going to have another go using a 5mm hook. The colours are so pretty.

I just finished making the African Flower! It came out beautifully!! Thank you so much for your tutorials! You make me want to join KZread & start making videos of my own... Maybe one of these days I will get up the courage to do so ;-)

I just started crochet in March 2015 and I used your granny square tut to make a blanket(it was one giant square...lol) and now your African flower for a baby blanket. I'm so scared to assemble it but I am trying. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help.

Hi Bella, Thanks to yours and other tutorials I am creating an amazing bedspread for my little nieces birthday. It is coming along greatly (after having worked on it for over a year) and I am nearing the end.... (she said positively hahaha).. Anyways.. I was searching for a video tutorial on how to make HALF a flower hexagon and I discovered that there are very few of them on youtube. 1 person uses a different method of making the flower than I am and the other person's video is of poor quality near the end.. There are a few in other languages.. but your tutorials are always very clear and very good to follow.. Could you please make a tutorial for half an African flower?

I absolutely love all of your tutorials, but this one has really helped me alot! ♡♡♡

I love your video tutorials - it's how I finally learned to crochet. It would be really helpful if there was a written pattern to print off that accompanies the video though as it would act as a reminder until you really get into the rhythm of it. I notice you do things slightly different to other African Flower patterns. i.e. you put 2 chain sts in between the 2 trebles in round 2 and others show 1 chain. And on round 3 you use a slip stitch to connect the 7 trebles and others dont. I'm fascinated by this as I tried both patterns and they look very similar to my inexperienced eye.

I love it !!! Thank you so much !! Hugs Sabine

Good tutorial. I've found a sweet little mouse tutorial made of african flower motif. However it is in a foreign language with no subtitles so I'm lost. He made 3 different sizes of the same type but didn't show how to make the largest. As a newbie crocheter I need directions. Could you do a tutorial on how to make the same pattern in different finished sizes? Sure would be great!

How do you make edge flowers so the blanket is a square shape?

I'm a newbie and decided to try your African flower it is coming out great but it's curling up why? Thanks for the tutorial I want to make a blanket with this pattern... simply lovely! !

jeannette Morris perhaps your tension is too tight? x

I’ve been crocheting for 4 days thanks to your absolute beginner series. Those videos are nice and easy to follow with clear instructions and visuals. I figure I’d hop into making these as I know all the stitches needed but it is much harder to follow as an absolute beginner while it doesn’t need to be. One spot for example in when making round 2 you say “into every chain space of the last row” but there is no explanation or visual of what a chain space looks like vs a space where you should not put trebbles into. As a result I thought I needed to put them between every trebble of the last row and it looked ridiculous, haha! I frogged and am now trying to figure out what to do and where to put the trebbles but it isn’t very clear to see in the video. This pattern is great though, maybe it is a good candidate for an update? Would love to see half and square african flowers as well!

@bellacococrochet

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, I’m glad you like the pattern 😊 An African Flower is quite a tricky one to attempt for an absolute beginner so well done - a good tip to help you identify the chain spaces is to use stitch markers to loop through them as you make them. Then, on the next round, you can easily see where the chain spaces are. I do have a tutorial on how to turn your flowers into a square here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6Bq0dCiYpqXdMY.html 😊

That comes down to personal preference; there's no need to make a half flower as long as you are happy with the finished look, but some people prefer to make them to square the blanket off 😊

It's hard to say for certain exactly as there are a few reasons why this might be happening. It could be down to tension, so going up a hook size may help. Or it could be down to the yarn you are using - cotton, for example, tends to lay flatter than acrylic yarn. But in most cases you'll find that once you've joined the flowers together they lay nice and flat anyway 🙂

Who is responsible for the subtitles? I had to put this video to 0.25 speed (I am a very new beginner, and wanted to attempt this, but obviously need it very slow as I know none of the basics). The sound does not work this slow so put on subtitles. At 2 mins I realised whoever subtitled this was either having a laugh, or didn't speak english at all. I had been slowly working through this video following your actions and reading for extra information. I was horrified at all the technical wordings!! Then it clicked. Bombs, sex, travel posts, safes and travel creches really probably shouldn't be in there....
