How to Crochet a Carnation
by Jane Lake
Copyright © 2007 Jane Lake All Rights Reserved
These lifelike frilly carnation flowers are quick and easy to crochet. I used yarn unravelled from an old baby sweater and I found it worked very well for this old pattern, which my stepmother wrote out for me many years ago.
The rapid addition of double crochet stitches in each round makes the pattern rather interesting because it forms the frills automatically as you work.

Hi
This is great. I am looking for a pattern where you knit the flowers with lace and wool. I used to knit carnations, but have lost the pattern. If you know of where I could find this it would be great. I have looked everywhere. People know what I am talking about, but do not know where I could find this.

Hi,
When making the ruffles what is each "space"? Also do you need to gather the ruffles at the end, or is this supposed to be in the pattern?
I am using this pattern for my crochet bouquet for my wedding. Love this pattern. Have tried others and this is the best one. Thanks for the pattern.
I love this carnation! I have used it as a hat topper and I just enjoy the look of it. It does look so real. Thank you so much for the free pattern. I love learning crochet projects.
I'm a novice; after each row what am I joining , to the original circle in the center?
Thanks
