Flower Hair Clip Crochet Pattern & Tutorial

Hey everybody, so today I thought we would do another little request. We'Ve had several requests, in fact for hair clips, and I wear a lot of these in my hair. As you sure, you've noticed, if you've watched a bunch of our videos, I, like all sorts of hair clips, hair barrettes, pretty things sparkly things things covered, one of the things covered in beads. Well, anyway, I make a lot of these, and today I thought we would do a really simple one to start and it's not only a cute quick project, it's also a cool fashion hack, and this is why you need a little bit of crochet cotton Cotton's. Probably the best thing for this project because it washes well and if you have to wash it because you get some stuff in your hair and it gets on your hair clip you can wash it. So that's not a big deal. It typically keeps its color really well, and you can put some beads on it. If you want, you can dress them up as, however, you like, but the only thing you need for your hair, it's a bobby pin and these are grabbable anywhere. You probably have a half dozen of them lying around in the couch, but you can get sacks of these at the dollar store for next to nothing, and this is all you need. You don't need expensive, hair clips, you don't have to run off and buy something fancy in a in a craft store. All you need are some some of these bobby pins, so you need crochet cotton, a little bit of needle and a thread some bobby pins. If you like, you can grab some buttons and beads to make them all pretty and stuff, but that's it that's what we're gon na do today. So let's go to the crafts table and grow ourselves: some little hair flowers. Let'S go for our little flower, barette you're going to need a couple. Colors of I find the cotton crafter yarn works, the best I'm going to use a little bit of white and a little bit of pink for this one you're going to need a bobby pin in order to sew the flower onto something you're going to need a Needle and thread you're going to need scissors a yarn needle and today I'm using a slightly smaller hook that I normally do. This is a 3.75 millimeter or an f5. It'S just a little smaller you're going to find that it's a little tighter when you're trying to make your stitches. But that's what's going to help keep this a nice tight, small little flower. So let's go we're going to start with the center of the flower and I'm making my Center in white, because I like white and pink - and I have a lot of white and pink outfits. So I'm going to start with a cinch circle and you make a loop. However big you need it to be. Take your hook go through the loop grab, the yarn and pull it up and before you let go chain 1 into this cinch circle. You'Re, going to single crochet 6 1 to three four five and six cinch it shut by pulling on that short tail, identify your first single crochet slip, your hook into it, grab your working yarn. So not the little tail and slip stitch to close off that row and snip your yarn take that working needle our should say: take your thread, pull it through that little loop to tighten it up, and that is the center of your flower. Now it's a good idea to weave in your ends a little bit, I'm just going to pick up a couple of stitches and weave in each end, maybe once or twice, and then I'm just going to snip off all the excess, because I really don't have to Worry about this getting a whole lot of pull because it's going to be a sewn into something so once you've tucked in your ends, just trim off your excess. There we go, and that is the center of your flower. Now we're going to make the petals. So you take your flower color and you make a slip knot just like that. Take the center of your flower and pick a stitch doesn't matter which one slip your hook into it grab the working yarn and slip stitch through both to join your yarn to your Center, just like that. Now for each petal you're going to work the following stitches into each stitch around your Center chain, one double crochet into the same stitch that you joined your yarn in remember what I said. This might be a little bit of a tight work, because this is slightly bigger yarn than the hook. I would normally use, but that's, okay, just take your time. So that's two double crochets chain one and slip stitch back into that same stitch, and that is one little pedal. You'Re going to identify the next stitch along your center row. There'S the next one and you're going to slip stitch into that and you're going to repeat chain one double crochet two times into that same stitch chain. One and slip stitch back into that same stitch and it will be a little tight, so just be patient, and that is two pedals and you repeat: identify the next stitch slip stitch into the next stitch chain. One double crochet two times into that stitch. Oops looks like I picked up a little extra there. Try that again double crochet into that stitch. There we go double crochet once more, so it's chain one two double crochets chain, one and slip stitch all into each stitch around and you're going to do that into the last three stitches so that you have a total of six pebbles. When you finished your last petal you're just going to snip your yarn and pull it back through that loop to fasten off get a nice tight, tug, pull it to the back and weave it in and there's the flower made now you're going to take your needle And thread make sure you've got a nice little knot at the end, just like that. Take your flower, flip it upside down and pick a petal somewhere in the middle of one of your petals and just attach your thread by knotting it. However, you feel comfortable, then take your bobby pin and most bobby pins have our sort of have a flat bottom and a ridged top, and it's the ridged top that you're going to lie against the underside of your flower and the first couple stitches might be a Bit fiddly so just go with it. Take your needle come through! So here's the little I in your bobby pin come through it and then just pick up a little stitch on the bottom of the pedal and tug tightly come through the eye of the bobby pin. Once more and just pick up another stitch on the bottom of the pedal now this is where it gets a little easier spin it around and you're, going to take your string and you're just going to pull it through between the prongs of the bobby pin and Pick up a stitch under the flower and take your yarn, pull it through the prongs of their pin and pick up a stitch. Underneath your flower, through the prongs, pick up a stitch number to keep it nice and tight and through the prongs and you're going to do this all the way along. For you know, maybe ten or twelve stitches till you get to across the middle of the bottom of the flower and to about the middle of the opposite petal. You don't have to do too many stitches. This is not going to take that much wear and tear going into your hair and once you've got a comfortable number of stitches done sure I'm going to the center here put in one more then I'm going to turn it around again so that I'm looking at Sort of the bottom side you can see where some of my stitches are I'm just going to not my thread two times here. In the same place we go and just weave it in go back and forth a couple times. Just so I know it's not going to come out oops. We go and trim your thread and there you go and you can see that it's only attached to the top part of your bobby pin. So when you go to put it in, you can still split it apart. Just like you would and then slide it into your hair and a really great trick for all bobby pins, especially bobby pins, that you sew something on to have a single bobby pin. So a plain one hanging around and after you've put the bobby, pin that's decorated into your hair. Take another bobby, pin and slide it through your hair and across the other bobby pin like this. This locks, your bobby, pin into place in your hair, and your pretty little flowers won't come out there and there you that's, how you make a quick little hair clip with a flower and some beads if you like, anyway, um if I mentioned it before, I'm going To mention it again a great way to keep these sorts of clips in your hair, so whatever you make and whatever you sew onto your bobby pins, the best way to keep them in your hair, especially if you have thicker hair, is to use another bobby pin. Take that second bobby pin and just run it over top of the one that you've already stuck into your hair. So you kind of bisect the one that you've got in your hair and it locks it into place. And that's a hair salon trick that my sister-in-law taught me anyway. That is all you need in order to have super cute little clips. That will stay in your hair all day and they are totally unique.
