FlickrPoinsettia
© June Gilbank 2007
Crochet a large poinsettia flower for Christmas – perfect as a table centrepiece or as a decoration. Or make a smaller one in fine yarn or thread to wear as a pin on your coat, a Christmas tree decoration, or anything else you can think of!

Terminology
| ch | chain |
| sc | single crochet (double crochet for UK/Aus) |
| st | stitch |
| sc2tog | single crochet decrease (insert hook into stitch and draw up a loop, insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook) |
| FL | front loops |
| BL | back loops |
Notes
• Do not join at the end of each round; rounds are worked in continuous spirals.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Move the marker up each time you start a new round.
You will need…
• E US/3.5mm crochet hook
• Small amount of worsted weight yarn in red, green and yellow
• Yarn needle to weave in ends
• Stitch marker
I used worsted weight yarn and a size E hook, which produced a large 6.5″ diameter flower. Try using a finer yarn or crochet thread with a correspondingly smaller hook to give a more compact flower.

- 6 of Style B in red or green

Centre
Make a magic ring, ch 1.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st)
Rnd 2: in FL only, (sc, ch2, sc) in each st around. (6 st)
Rnd 3: in remaining BL of Rnd 1, 5 sc in each st around. (30 st)
The stitches of Rnd 3 will want to crinkle up into a loopy ruffle – let them do this! You want them to stick up to form the centre flowers of the poinsettia.
Assembly Instructions
Style A
- Flatten out each petal/leaf.
- Fold the petal up along the centre line, so the two ends of the open edge meet. Using a yarn needle and the long yarn end, make a couple of stitches at the open edge between the two ends, to keep them together.
- String all 6 petals together by running a length of yarn on a yarn needle (you can use one of the yarn ends or cut a new length) through the folded edge of each petal.
- Run the yarn through the first petal again to form a circle, pull tight and knot to keep it in position.
Styles B and C
- Flatten out each petal/leaf.
- Arrange one leaf over a second, so that one side of the open end of one is over the midpoint of the open end of the next, and they are arranged at approx 60 degrees (think snowflakes or slices of pie to judge the angle – you don’t have to be accurate).
- Use a yarn needle and the long yarn end from one of the leaves to stitch them together, joining the two leaves with small stitches at the end and about a third of the way up the leaves.
- Arrange another leaf over the top leaf, in the same position and angle, and stitch in the same way.
- Continue until all 6 leaves are joined, and each leaf overlaps over one leaf and under another. There should be a small gap in the centre.
- Pull any loose yarn ends through to the back.
Final Assembly
You should now have two (or three) rings of petals/leaves and one yellow centre. To finish assembling, arrange each layer by pulling the loose yarn ends through the centre hole of the previous layers, so they are all at the back of the flower. The layer order is (bottom to top):
Large poinsettia: C-B-A-centre
Small poinsettia: B-A-centre
Rotate the layers so their angles are offset and all the leaves are visible.
Divide the yarn ends at the back into two groups and tie the two groups in a secure knot. Depending on what you’d like to do with your flower, you can weave in all the yarn ends, leave them long to tie it onto something, or trim them down.
I hope you enjoy this pattern. Please leave me a comment below if you do!

May I use your patter to develop several other patterns–such as a candle ring and several other ideas that are running through my mind?
I always decorate candles with rings but the new ones just do not suit my old-fashioned and victorian taste so I set out today to find a way to make them myself and make them not only unusual, but different from anything anyone else has ever had–will let you know how my mission turns out. Thank you again for this site.

Hi!!
I’m Spanish and for me it’s really difficult to understand all of this instructions, but I hope that in the end I will be able to make this beautifull flower.
Congratulations because you did a really good job and a goog explanation.
I’ve got just one question. I don’t know how to do the centre. Because I can’t understand the second round. What is sc, chain 2, sc ?
I know the meaning of abreviatures but I don’t know how apply them.
If you are so nice to explain me I will be so happy!
Thanks for all and Happy Christmas to everyone!!!
Feliz Navidaaaad
June Said,
December 28, 2007 @ 2:41 pm
Regina, I’ll try to explain Rnd 2 of the centre more clearly for you:
Single crochet into the front loop of the first stitch. Chain 2, and then make another single crochet into the front loop of the SAME stitch you single crocheted into already. This will make a loop. You then repeat all of that for the other 5 stitches in the round, so you will end up with 6 loops.

Dear June:
A colored picture of your gorgeous poinsettia appeared in the Dec. 8-9 Home & Design page of our Examiner newspaper. I’ve been carrying it around with me ever since. With little hope that I could find it on line, I typed “crocheted poinsettia” into Google, and there it was (pattern and all). I love to crochet small projects, because I never seem to have enough patience to complete the big ones. This is the type of project that can inspire a person to be patient and persistent. Thanks for sharing your talent and pattern with all of us. Doreen

I was looking for gifts i can make for my son’s teachers and helpers on short notice, and this is wonderful!
When i get some $ into my paypal, will definitely come back with a donation. in meantime, am wondering. i want to do a boquet with them, to put in a vase. what would work for the stems?
i was thinking pipecleaners but that might look to cheap against the gorgous flowers. any suggestion would be so appreciated?
(ps, will take about 2 weeks to trans my money to paypal and then to you). (that’s what stinks about being in canada..)
June Said,
December 4, 2008 @ 4:37 pm
Arleen, the poinsettia is quite a large and heavy design, so a pipe cleaner probably won’t give it enough support to work as a stem. I suggest you try the yarn-wrapped rod technique from my Daffodils pattern (scroll down to the ‘Stem’ instructions near the bottom) which should work well!

I found this pattern while looking for pictures of this plant and I decided to make it for my mom (just in time for Christmas

Hey June, thanks for the great pattern! I just recently learned to crochet at the age of 18, it’s an amazing hobby and helps me unwind after a hectic day at university. I usually go for amigurumi dolls and other anthromorphic projects, but I saw it and thought it would make an amazing gift for my grandmother.
I hope the link works and you’ll be able to let me know what you think of my work! Many thanks and much love,

This is the most beautiful poinsetia I have ever seen. My mother started teaching me to crochet about the age of 5. I was in the hospital for many years of my youth and that was my favorite past time, and now, it is still my favorite..I will be 62 in a few weeks.
Thank you for your generous heart. The Lord has blessed you with a wonderful talent and I know He will bless you for sharing it the way you do.

The pattern is lovely and I want to use it…………however my printer has
printed and wasted six pages and I still don’t have the pattern.
This is very disappointing.

Sorry to hear that, Sharon. If you donate $1 or more you can download the printable PDF version. Not a large cost for a nicely formatted pattern!

How big are these poinsettias, my daughter makes headbands and child bows and is looking for a good poinsettia that she can use for the holidays, but this looks like it might be too big for that?? Is there any way to size it down? I would pay a donation for a pattern if it isnt a pattern that takes much time to make either, maybe half hour 45 min at most when you get used to it?? Thanks so much, it is so pretty and the best one I have seen.

Rashell, made in worsted weight yarn it’s about 5″ diameter – too large for what you’re looking for. As I say in the description above, you can resize it by using a finer yarn and correspondingly smaller hook.
I don’t know how fast you crochet, but it would probably take the average crocheter about 10 mins to make each petal/leaf, so I very much doubt you’d be able to make one (even the smaller variety with only 2 layers) in an hour or less. You could just try making one leaf and see how long it takes you – multiply that by 12 (or 18 for the larger poinsettia) to give you a rough guide as to how long it would take to make an entire poinsettia!
I’d suggest you look for a simpler flower pattern for the headbands – one where each petal is not made individually. You can find lots listed on Crochet Pattern Central

Hi, your works are really beautiful, thank you for sharing some of them! I am a beginner, and I would like to ask you some information.
I feel more comfortable using cotton thread for my works, because I am a bit allergic to wool. So I use the thickest cotton thread with the biggest hook, and I know that the figures come out smaller than the originals all the same, but I cannot relate the sizes of the finished works. How much do you think a cotton thread work loses compared to a wool yarn work?
June Said,
November 4, 2011 @ 11:03 am
Marina, there’s no one answer to your question: there are many different weights of crochet thread and corresponding hooks, so the size would vary depending on which size of hook and thread you choose, and how tightly you crochet.
I suggest you make one of the large poinsettia leaves and then measure its length – that will be just about half the size of the finished piece; you can compare that with the size of my poinsettia to work out how much smaller yours will be than my original

I would love to have a crochet pattern for a floor style Christmas tree. Any ideas? I have made the small table top ones on a styrafoam cone. Maybe I am being unrealistic. The kind I made on a styrafoam cone I made a base, then crocheted in the base around it and I made it in green and white. The white looking like snow. They are beautiful…

I love this poinsetta and it is the best one ever
I have seen on the internet.
However when I go to print out the patternn
all the people’s comments come with it.
I do not know how to just print out the
pattern without the comments.
waisted paper.
I wish u would have where u can just print out the pattern
WITHOUT these comments that use up my ink.
June Said,
December 8, 2011 @ 5:03 am
Hi Joan, there’s an easy way to do this! As I say at the top of the pattern, if you donate $1 or more to me for my work in creating this pattern, you’ll be able to download an easy-to-print PDF file of the pattern, nicely formatted, with no comments or anything else you don’t need. Just click the ‘donate’ button to go through to my shop and purchase the PDF version

Hi Janice, I’m afraid I don’t have any patterns like this. My Christmas Trees pattern can be extended to any size, but the bobbles would be very small in proportion to the size of a giant tree – it’d just look like a bit green cone

Hi I came across your poinsettia flower and wanted to let you know it is amazing.
I was also wondering if you have ever though of spraying them with a touch of spray glue and giving them a sprinkle of glitter like they do the real ones.
i bet they would be awesome .

Hi,
This is a very beautiful pattern, and I made it for my mum. She is in a geriatric home and real poinsettia’s are not allowed there, because they appear to be poisening. But this one was allowed
.
I came across this pattern on another side though, and I’m not sure if that person has permission for it. Here you can check it out: http://schtroumpf29.multiply.com/journal/item/179/Poinsettia.
Kind regards and thanks again for the pattern.
