Optional - Carnation Leaf Crochet Pattern 

Chain 13, slip stitch back into the 2nd chain from hook and sc in t in each st until END (I use 2 or 3 per flower IF making individual Flower for a Croche bouquet I do not make the flowers as it ends up bulking out the bouquet. 

Turning your Crochet Flower Head into a long-stemmed crochet flower. 

• You will require a long bamboo/ wooden kebab stick. 
• Twist your green yarn around the stick until the wood is all covered. 
• 'use Glue to keep it from unraveling. 

Use a small amount of Glue to insert the Tip of the Wooden skewer into the bottom of the green part of a flower.
