Pattern Notes
This pattern and video tutorial recommend the use of a magic ring to start your flower. If you are unfamiliar with the magic ring, I recommend you take a look at my tutorial here. If you are unable to master the magic ring, you may also use the alternate magic ring method. I have a tutorial on this here.
Although this tutorial was designed to demonstrate a bullion stitch with a latch hook, you can still complete this project by making your bullion stitches the traditional way. Follow along with the pattern as normal.
This pattern is labeled “intermediate” because the bullion stitch requires that you have a good concept of tension. However, please do not let this deter you from trying! The bullion stitch, although regarded as an expert level stitch, is incredibly easy to master with the latch hook.

Thanks for a great tutorial.I have crocheted many types of flowers; but I never understood how someone could do this flower. Every time I tried, I was frustrated. Now I can attempt it… I even found my latch hook tool…! So kind of you to share your wonderful idea. I must try it asap.
Brittany
My pleasure! I was am very excited about this method as I know it will get rid of the bullion stitch frustration so many of us face. Let me know how it goes!

You deserve an award for this idea! I’ve tried for years and years to do this stitch and every time I end up in tears. You called it an “ah-ha” moment. I’ll say!! It was a stroke of pure genius and I’ve forever grateful to you for it! I LOVE the buillion stitch and now I can work it and have it look nice like yours do. Thanks a million!!
Brittany
You are too kind! I’m so grateful that you took the time to write this comment. I’m so glad I was able to bring new life to this stitch for you and hopefully many others. I too was so disappointed every time I attempted the bullion stitch. My need for perfect tension got me every time! Now together we can have perfect bullion stitches! 🙂
Becca

where do I find written instructions on how to do bullion stitch?
Brittany
I will be posting a tutorial and written pattern for the bullion stitch next week! It’s rather simple though really, there is no pattern technically, just the stitch technique shown in this video. Stay tuned!
