Once you have made your stem and leaves, you will add rows of 3 French Knots to create the flower head, ending with a double row of French Knot for the tip of the flower head.

Step 1: Thread the lilac yarn onto the tapestry needle. Insert the needle from the back into your desired space – as shown in the photo below.

Step 3: Continue holding onto the thread with the left hand, reinsert the needle into the fabric next to the first insertion (not in the same place, you must catch a little piece of crochet between to secure the stitch). To ensure your knot is created, do this step slowly to prevent any unnessary knots creating. Once the needle and thread is all the way through, release the thread from the left hand to secure the french knot.
