Materials Needed:

• Yarn in two different colors
• Crochet hook (size 3 mm suggested)
• Scissors
• Needle (for weaving in ends)
• Hair clips or a clip of your choice
• Glue gun (optional, for additional security)

Steps for the Base (Rectangle Piece):

Starting Chain: Make a slip knot, then chain 16. (For a larger size, you can chain 19 or another number, adjusting the following steps proportionally)

Row 1: Work a single crochet (SC) into the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. You will have 15 SC for this row. (Or adjust based on your starting chain.)

Row 2 onwards: Chain 1 and turn your work. Then, SC in each stitch across. Repeat this step until you have a total of 16 rows (or the same number of rows as your starting chain).

Changing Yarn Color for Edging: Cut the yarn and fasten off. Attach a new yarn color to work on the edging.

Steps for Edging:

First Corner: Start in one corner with 2 SC in the same stitch to create a rounded edge.

Along the Sides: SC evenly along the sides. Place 1 SC at the end of each row.

Final Slip Stitch: Once you have worked SC along all four sides, slip stitch to the first SC of the edging. Fasten off.

Steps for Making Flower Decorations:

Attach Yarn: Attach a yarn (can be the original color or the edging color) at any stitch along the edge.

Create Petal: In one stitch, work the following — 1 half-double crochet (HDC), 2 double crochet (DC), and then 1 HDC, and finish with 1 SC in the same stitch.

Move to the Next Petal: Skip a stitch and slip stitch in the next to create a small gap between the petals. Repeat the petal pattern (HDC, 2 DC, HDC, SC) in the next stitch.

Continue: Repeat the process of making petals, spacing them with slip stitches between, until you have covered the desired area or the whole edge.

Securing the Work: Once you have completed the decorations, you can use the needle to weave in ends and secure them. If you're using a glue gun, apply it where needed for additional security.

Attaching to the Hair Clip:

Prepare the base: Fold the crocheted piece around the hair clip in the desired shape.

Secure the Piece: Use the yarn and needle or the glue gun to firmly attach the crocheted piece to your hair clip.

Finishing Touches: Trim any excess yarn and make sure all ends are securely woven in or glued.

Additional Notes:

For variations in size, adjust the initial chain and row count as needed, maintaining the pattern proportions.

The tutorial suggests options for customization, including color choices and the type of clips used.

Practice and adjust the pattern to fit the specific size and style of the hair clip you're aiming for.
