This crochet Amaryllis pattern makes a six-petal red-and-white flower with wired edges and six yellow pearl-tipped stamens. It follows PDF pages 115–117 of the supplied collection. One small, two medium and three large petals share a twenty-five-stitch foundation, then follow their own finishing paths. The source charts show the central white stripe, light-red body and white edge, while actual process photographs demonstrate wire insertion, petal joining and the taped stamen group. This guide preserves every petal sequence and the complete six-part assembly without adding a separate leaf pattern.
Key Takeaways
- Use white and light-red cotton yarn with a 1.90 mm hook and 0.6 mm wire.
- Prepare one small, two medium and three large petals.
- All sizes share the first two crochet sequences; their later paths distinguish the widths.
- The chapter’s two-double-crochets-together wording describes increases in one original.
- Six yellow pearls supply the tips of six separately prepared wire stamens.
- Join the petals, insert the center group and cover the main stem with green floral tape.
CROCHET AMARYLLIS FLOWER PATTERN
Project: One six-petal red-and-white wired flower with six yellow pearl-tipped stamens and a taped stem.
| Skill level | No individual difficulty rating is supplied. Uses several stitch heights, wire-supported petals, grouped increases and assembled center supports. |
|---|---|
| Yarn and hook | Cotton yarn in white and light red. 1.90 mm hook. Formal yarn weight, quantity and brand are not stated. |
| Support and extras | 0.6 mm wire, 6 yellow pearls, green floral tape and white floral tape. Wire cut lengths and pearl diameter are unspecified. |
| Size and gauge | No finished flower diameter, stem length or gauge is supplied. |
| US abbreviations | ch = chain; sc = single crochet; hdc = half double crochet; dc = double crochet; tr = treble crochet; ss = slip stitch. Source st means ss; MD is mapped to US tr by its two-bar chart symbol. Source two stitches together means 2 complete stitches in one original, not a decrease. |
| Petal quantities | 1 small, 2 medium and 3 large. |
| Shared foundation and row 1 | Ch25 plus 1 height chain. Work sc, 15 hdc, 9 sc. 25 working stitches. |
| Shared row 2, incorporate wire | 3 sc, 3 hdc, 3 dc, 6 tr, 3 dc, 3 hdc, 3 sc; 2 sc in one original twice; 3 sc, 3 hdc, 3 dc, 6 tr, 3 dc, 3 hdc, 3 sc. Follow the chart around both sides. 52 stitches. |
| Small finishing row 3 | 25 sc, 2 ss, 25 sc. Twist the wire and join with ss. Ch2 to lock, cut and knot. |
| Medium row 3 | 7 ss, sc, hdc, 4 dc, dc increase 4 times, 4 dc, hdc, sc; 6 ss; sc, hdc, 4 dc, dc increase 4 times, 4 dc, hdc, sc, 7 ss. 60 stitches. Twist wire, join, ch2, cut and knot. Make 2. |
| Large row 3 | Work the same shaping path as medium row 3. 60 stitches. |
| Large row 4 | 10 ss, sc, 15 hdc, sc, 6 ss, sc, 15 hdc, sc, 10 ss. Twist wire, join, ch2 to lock, cut and knot. Make 3. |
| Petal color placement | Follow the source charts and photographs: white central foundation, light-red shaping section and white outer finishing path. The source gives no special counted color-joining stitch. |
| Join petals | Twist their support wires together, arranging 1 small, 2 medium and 3 large as the source layout shows: large at the upper position, mediums at the sides, the small at the lower center and two other large petals around the lower sides. |
| Prepare 6 stamens | Thread one yellow pearl onto a piece of wire, fold the wire and twist the ends. Cover each stamen support with white floral tape. Prepare 6, gather them and twist their wire ends together. |
| Final assembly | Insert the stamen group into the flower center. Join the supporting wires and cover the complete main stem with green floral tape. No separate crocheted leaf component is specified. |
Organize the Three Petal Sizes
The flower uses one small petal, two medium petals and three large petals. All six begin from the same foundation and first two worked sequences. Their later edge paths create the graduated set that is joined around the center. Keep the sizes labeled while preparing the wired pieces.
The source component photograph shows the six pieces before assembly and its separate placement image labels their positions. Those views are useful checkpoints alongside the charts. Do not replace the graduated set with six identical petals just because the finished flower appears broadly symmetrical.
Prepare Cotton, Wire, Pearls and Floral Tape
The materials specify white and light-red cotton yarn, a 1.90 mm hook, 0.6 mm wire, six yellow pearls and both white and green floral tape. The source supplies no formal cotton weight, yarn quantity, pearl diameter or numerical wire-cut length.
White tape covers the individual pearl-stamen wires; green tape covers the joined main stem. Keep those roles separate while preparing supplies. The support wire is incorporated into the petals during crochet, while the stamen wires are threaded through pearls and twisted before taping.
No gauge, finished flower diameter or required total stem length is given. Choose working wire allowances suited to the actual components and later assembly, identifying them as your own allowances rather than printed measurements. No additional flower rod or filling appears in the listed method.
Read the Source’s Abbreviations and Color Charts
The general source legend uses US crochet names. Its phrase two double crochets together means two complete doubles in one original, an increase. The petal charts show those paired symbols sharing an anchor. Do not substitute dc2tog decreases at the medium petal’s eight increase positions.
The written MD abbreviation is not a named stitch in the general legend, but its chart symbol has the two bars shown there for triple crochet. This guide calls that stitch US treble crochet. The diagram and source photograph also identify the white center stripe, light-red body and narrow white finishing edge.
Count checkpoint: The shared second sequence produces fifty-two stitches. Medium shaping adds eight increases to reach sixty, and the large petal’s last path holds sixty.
Start the Shared Twenty-Five-Stitch Foundation
Chain twenty-five plus one height chain. Work one single crochet, fifteen half double crochets and nine single crochets, giving twenty-five working stitches. The taller middle portion develops the central foundation while the shorter stitches narrow the lower area.
Keep the height chain separate from the twenty-five. This first sequence is shared by all three sizes. The next sequence works around both sides of the foundation with wire incorporated, following the diagram rather than adding an independent second petal foundation.
Shared Row 2: Work the First Shaped Side
Work three singles, three half doubles, three doubles, six trebles, three doubles, three half doubles and three singles. The twenty-four-stitch side run grades from shorter stitches through the tallest center and back down again. Keep the treble section distinct from the neighboring doubles.
Incorporate the support wire as the source process photograph demonstrates. The wire follows the petal’s supported edge, and the crochet stitches enclose it while the shape develops. Do not wait until the whole petal is finished and then describe an unrelated sewn-on wire as the source method.
Complete the Tip Increases and Return Side
Work two single-crochet increases in succession, then the second matching side: three singles, three half doubles, three doubles, six trebles, three doubles, three half doubles and three singles. The two twenty-four-stitch runs plus the four stitches from those increases give fifty-two.
Use the chart’s around-the-foundation path to keep the two increase anchors at the turning end. Each increase makes two complete singles. The support remains aligned with the worked edge, leaving its ends available for the later twist.
Shared Foundation Note
Every petal begins with the same twenty-five-stitch line and fifty-two-stitch second path. The small then closes with its simple edge, while medium and large first add the same eight double-crochet increases.
Finish the One Small Petal
The small finishing path is twenty-five single crochets, two slip stitches and twenty-five single crochets. It uses all fifty-two incoming positions. Twist the wire, join with a slip stitch, chain two to lock, cut and knot the yarn as instructed.
Make one of this size. Keep its relatively narrow shape identifiable among the later medium and large pieces. The small chart shows the compact outer edge and central stripe; no additional shaping row belongs to this petal.
Shape the Two Medium Petals
After the shared two sequences, work seven slip stitches, one single, one half double, four doubles, four double-crochet increases, four doubles, one half double and one single. Work six slip stitches across the next section, then the mirrored side: single, half double, four doubles, four increases, four doubles, half double, single and seven slips.
The path uses fifty-two originals and adds eight through its paired double-crochet increases, producing sixty stitches. Keep the two sets of four increases separated by the six-slip section. Twist the wire, join, chain two, cut and knot. Make two medium petals in all.
Medium checkpoint: There are eight double-crochet increases, four on each shaped side. They are full paired doubles in shared anchors and add eight, rather than reducing the edge.
