Cute Flower Pencil Toppers
Hi, here is a very lovely project for crochet beginners~
Pattern Notes
This is a beginner friendly project. Measurement is not critical in this project.
Just make sure the topper can cover the top of the pencil securely.
I made the tube ( i.e. the stem of the flowers) of the topper with 6dc X 7rounds. So, you could work more dc to make the circumference of the tube bigger. ( or work less to make it smaller ) Also , you could work more rounds to make the tube longer

The Petals

Notes: Only 1 round in crocheting the petals. We need to make 6 groups of stitches ( since we have 6 petals). So, I will write the pattern petal by petal instead of rounds.

On Round 4 of the cendce , pick a FL of a sc, with White yarn ( or any colour for petals) , 1ch, 1dc

on the next st , 1dc, 2ch, sl st,
This is the 2nd petal .
[Petal 3-6]
rep #2 to make the remaining 4petals.
When the 6th petal is complete, leave a long tail, then cut off the yarn.
Assemble
With the long tails left, sew the leaf and the flower on the stem,
Sometimes, you may find the pieces mis-locate after sewing, so check the piece from time to time when sewing. Do it slowly, enjoy every stitch π
If necessary, add a bit glue to make the flower more secure on the stem.
That’s it ! Well Done !
