Pansy Crochet Pattern
I've chosen a Pansy for today's crochet flower pattern. Its latin name is Viola Tricolor. Pansies are known as cool weather flowers, they have a heart shape with overlapping petals in bright colours. My pansies this year are a yellow & black variety, quite big in size. It was raining today when I took this photo, you could say she's a bit under the weather …

Pansy Crochet Pattern
INSTRUCTIONS:
Yarn: tapestry cotton in colour A=white, colour B=black and colour C=yellow
Crochet hook: 2.5mm
Details of components:
The centre of the flower is white, then there are three different types of petals we need to create:
1. 1 large petal: main colour is yellow with a black area in the middle = Petal 1
2. 2 petals on the two sides: colour yellow with a black middle = Petal 2
3. 2 large petals which are positioned at top, partially overlapping each other: colour yellow = Petal 3.
METHOD:
Petal 1
Start: using A, make 5ch, join with sl st into a ring
R1 in round: 1ch, 10 sc in ring, join with sl st and change to colour B, make 2ch and turn work
R2: 1sc, 2sc in the next sc, 2sc in the next sc, 1sc, 2ch, turn work
R3: 2sc, 2sc in the next sc, 2sc, 2ch, turn work
R4: 2sc, 2sc in the next sc, 2sc in the next sc, 2sc, 2ch, turn work
R5: 3sc, 1 sl st, 2ch, 4sc, 2ch, turn work

Read through this twice, what size hook did you use???
Hi Pat,
I used a 2.5mm hook.

inspired with your project. I think that there is 2sc is missing in R6 of petal 2 before 1sl st in A white ring
Thank you, Sofia. I corrected that row. I think is ok now.
This is a beautiful pattern! I have a question about Petal 3. It appears that the yellow thread starts at where Petal 1 and 2 meet (since Petal 2 has 2 rows of yellow). Petal 3 has 8 rows of yellow, which would make it end where Petals 1 and 2 meet (again); however, the pattern makes it seem like it should actually end on the other side of Petal 2 (in the white ring, so that it can continue on the other half later in the pattern.) Is there a row added or missing from the Petal 3 instructions? Thanks!
I am having the hardest time following this pattern. Are the “rounds” like “rows” as far as the petal goes? If each round is a row, after the chain 2 at the beginning of round three, do I go back as if it’s the second row? Cause I only get to the middle of the second “round” that way and I don’t know what to do next. I’m sorry if I seem dense. I’ve been crocheting for a year now and I understand it very well, I’m just lost on this pattern.
Hi Nancy,
I’ve updated the pattern, I hope now it’s much easier to understand. The first patterns were a bit hard to get started with and I never had time to go back and check them.
