Materials: 3, 3.5, or 4 mm hook with 250-400 grams of any DK weight acrylic/cotton yarn (depends on your size) I used a 3.5 mm hook with around 250 grams of my favourite acrylic yarn from amazon to make a size small mesh cardigan.

Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for the lily flowers I crocheted in my youtube tutorial . You can find all the materials and yarns I used here . To avoid confusion, I recommend watching the demonstrations in the video tutorial first since this written pattern is more for reference purposes rather than a step-by-step guide.  The hand-size lily is perfect for a flower in a vase as room decor or as the statement piece in a handmade bouquet (the cutest gift ever). The smaller lily is perfect for making a DIY hair clip (just stick it onto any plain clip!) and for filling up your bouquet with different colours.  Abbreviations: ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet / hdc - half double crochet / dc - double crochet / tc - triple crochet / increase - 2 stitches in the SAME stitch Hand-size Lily Petal Make a slip knot and chain 25 Skip the 1st chain then insert the following pattern 1 stitch in each chain... 2 sc, 2 hdc, 14 dc, 3 hdc, 2 sc, 3 sc in the last chain  then tu...
