Dahlia Love

I love spring! My Dahlias are sprouting out of the ground. They are my favorite flower to cut and keep inside the house. But since they are not flowering yet I decided to crochet one and share the pattern with all my friends. 🙂

Supplies:

I used 4.75 MM hook and Red Heart  yarn
Use a variety of yarn and hooks for different looks 🙂

CH – Chain
SC- Single crochet
HDC – Half double crochet
