I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my time with the directions being so wrong. The last row makes absolutely no sense at all. Looks nothing like the photo.

I'm having trouble beginning with the 5th round. When I get near the end, how many stitches should be left? I assumed there'd be 2 from the previous round, in order to have the pattern work out. What might I be doing wrong?

I am having trouble from 5th Round. I follow the instructions, but then it sats "shell made' and mine does not seem to make a shell. What am I doing wrong?
Editor Dana

Hi there, this might be one of those scenarios where the shell will take form after you've crocheted a few more rows, or it will be more obvious the more you work through the pattern. Based on the instructions---2hdc, ch 1, 2hdc---that looks right for making the shell. Keep crocheting! :) The pattern should take proper shape. I hope that helps!

They are just so cute. I read the directions, which were easy to find since they are right on the same page, and there is nothing to making these. The hard part will be picking out the colors you wish to use. I want to use them on the shelf in my kitchen as doilies.

Cute for last minute gift-giving! I love that I can use whatever cotton yarn I have left in my stash basket to work these up- no wrong way to do it. A new apartment dweller would love these as well as your dear old granny. Bring a couple of these along in your picnic basket to wipe up grungy faces, too. My favorite combination would have to be a hot pink with a white border.

These are really cute. There is no mention of hook size, so I went with a 4.5mm (US7). I crochet tight and I think that for me a 5.50mm hook may have been a better choice for this project. I love how quick they are to make. Another great stash buster!

These are almost too cute to use to wash dishes. Maybe I'll set some aside just for decorating. There are so many ways to use these if you make them in different colors. I'll use some for coasters, and some for decorating my desk at work.

what size hook do you use
Kaylee
Apr 07, 2016
@cszalay57 5594620 the manufacturer recommends a US 7.5 size hook for the yarn featured in this project. If you use a different yarn weight, you might want to readjust. Hope that helps! -Kaylee, Editor of FaveCrafts.

These are so cute! Now that the pattern has been updated, I will try making them, but I dont think it matters if the flowers are a bit different. That just adds to the cuteness! I think these would make a nice door prize at bridal shower. Something more modest for those who prefer to keep the party G rated! lol

These are great. Hard wearing and cute. Made mine with cotton blend leftovers while kicking back watching telly..so they sometimes turn out with various amounts of petals P

Hi jahanson, Thanks for your comment - I went back to the original pattern and updated this version according to the most recent instructions. Thanks!

My result looks different too but it works better as a dishcloth - I skipped 3 hdc in between each 2 hdc - ch 1 - 2 hdc on round 4. That way I got 10 petals.

Go to the original Lilly pattern. Whoever transcribed this missed a few instructions. On round 9, you single crochet around the ch 1 spaces you made in the previous rounds. This isn't very clear here. The original pattern is a bit clearer.

This was a fun project. I'm a self-taught crocheter, still a beginning, but I found the pattern to be quite easy to follow .. perhaps a couple glitches, but I was able to figure it out, and I'm happy with the finished project. So far, I've only made one using scrap yarn. I'll be making more with all-cotton yard, or hemp. The only problem is that they are too pretty to actually use!

If you are having trouble with the last row LIBBY in KANSAS (posted 5/5/10) posted a different version of the original instructions that helped me IMMENSELY! =) This cloth came out bigger than my hand, but I will try it again, now that I am familiar with the pattern and see if it comes out differently, maybe I made an error along the way that I wasn't aware of. My finished product flower has 15 pedals. Hmmm. It is still beautiful and I it anyway! =)

I actually quit with row 7 because it was so large and it is still very pretty (looks like a doily) and will serve my purposes. These work up very quickly I made 2 in just my spare time tonight.

When I made this dishcloth following the directions, it came out bigger than the picture. I then made it leaving out row 4 and it looked like the picture and it's very pretty. I've made about 10 of them and they are a quick project.

Love this pattern. It turned out very cute. It took me a little bit to figure out the last row, but it was worth playing with it.
Libby in Kansas

Row took me awhile to figure out and I thought I was a quick old pro The way I have figured it out there is one error otherwise the directions are correct but I'll try to add some comments to clarify The whole direction written for row relates to one petal so when you repeat around you will be doing it times altogether The sc ch times part goes around the outside curve of one petal working into the dc's of row Then you sc in the next space between shells--in other words you are sort of working on top ofnext to the sc you worked in row as you work into the space between next THE WORD NEXT IS A BIT CONFUSING TRY JUST LEAVING IT OUT shells row below i e in row Now ch and work sc into the space between two shells BELOW THAT i e in…Read More row ch and work sc into the space between two shells in the row below THAT eg row and one more time to row That is your repeats of the go below parentheses If you have never crocheted a project where you work down into a different row before it might seem weird but you are just sort of working on top of your project Now you are going to work an sc in the same space then you will start the go above parentheses to work your way back up to where you left off at the row level--so--Ch sc in sp between next AGAIN IGNORE the NEXT shells row above--in other words back where you just were then keep going back up Here is where the real error is--you only repeat this going up parentheses times not to get back up to the correct level to continue the row pattern When youre done and back up there you begin the repeat of the whole show where you will do the sc ch around in the dcs of the next petal etc etc Whew If it werent for the photograph sort of giving me a clue I definitely would have given up

Is there any way to get the pattern to print smaller so it fits on one page. The type size is huge.

tell Gloria j that I attached to a scrubber by going thru the scrubber with 20 stitches and start with row 3. Hope this helps. If you need any more help contact me thru favecrafts or facebook

Rnd 5???? Plan and simple sl st to next ch 1 sp ch 2-1 hdc-ch 1-2 hdc in ch 1 space. 2 hdc-ch1-2hdc in nxt ch1 space around. What is so confusing about that......... the confusing row should be row 9 that is when you have to sc in previous rnds to form pedal look. Mine came out smaller than stated it should guess I crochet tighter.

I have made this pattern as written and I love it. I've also made the same pattern with one less row and its just as nice. Thanks for another great pattern.

Very cute and easy to do. I was a little worried after reading some of the comments. But if you look at the picture when doing the last row, you see how you have to 'outline' the petals.

I love this pattern. I combined it with a scrubber and it is real neat. I did the last row 2 different ways. It was not that hard. Thanks for the use of this pattern. Barb

Crocheters, I called Lily Yarns and ask about row 5, here's what she explained. The ch-1 sp is not the stitches on top, its the space of the hdc of row 4. If you look at the pattern that your working with and you spread apart the stitches you'll see a space or hole. It's a space between each of the hdc you did from the row before. I hope this helps. This pattern is too pretty not to do! Happy crocheting! Sam

I couldn't get the last row either I'm a LONG time crocheter-so I just went on around it let it lay flat. I didn't really care if it "cupped" on the edge because I wanted to use it as a hotpad for sitting hot dishes on the table. It works out great like that. Love it-will be making a lot more for myself gifts.

I made this pattern and the last row is a little bit tricky. You have to read the instructions a couple of times and you can get it. I used this pattern attached to a plastic scrubber. If anyone wants to know how I did it have them contact me.
