In the first week of the Free Pattern Month I showed you the pattern for the humidifier cozy ‘circles of joy’. Well, this is another pattern for a cozy, only this time it’s with flowers instead of circles 🙂

What you need

– 3 mm crochet hook

– sock yarn

– darning needle

– thread clippers

Gauge

one flower measures 4 cm (1 3/5 inch) in diameter. The cozy itself measures 20 cm (8 inch) wide around and 18 cm (7 1/10 inch) high.

For this pattern you need to know the following (US terms)

How to chain (CH)
How to make a Slip Stitch (Sl St)
How to make a Single Crochet (SC)
How to make a Double Crochet (DC)
How to make a Magic Loop (if you don’t know how to make a magic loop, you can do a *chain 2, begin in second chain from hook*)

Lets begin!

Step 1

First flower (flower pattern) :

Begin with magic loop; CH 3 (counts as first DC), DC 11 in magic loop. Close circle with a Sl St in the top of the CH 3.

second round: CH 3, 4 DC in the same stitch ( this is the first petal)

slip stitch in first stitch, *slip stitch in next stitch, CH 3, 4 DC, slip stitch in next stitch*
repeat from * until you have six petals. You end with a single Sl St in the last stitch. Cut off yarn and weave in ends.

(the ch 3, 4 DC is your petal. The ch 3 counts as one DC)

Step 2

Now you need to join your first two flowers together:

Work the flower pattern up to the last petal. For the last petal: CH 3, DC 2 in same stitch. Insert your hook into the middle stitch from a petal from the other flower. Make a SC to join the two flowers together. Finish the flower pattern.

Repeat until you have a vertical row of 4 flowers. Join these flowers in the middle petals of the previous flower.

Join the first flower on the side:

Work 4 petals of the flower.
