It has come to the end of our learning session in crochet. I want to say thank you teachers for this privilege, I appreciate your teaching techniques It has really unleashed that creative mind in me.
I followed the class right from week one and I can say that I can hold my pin very well and I understand the basic terms in crochet making.
This week I've also learnt how to make a rose and how to create border.
In response to the homework task, here is my entry.
Create a border on the garment of your choice, whether it's a handkerchief, scarf, shirt, pants, etc. Support your task with videos, a photo collage, and at least one photo of the completed task.
I created a border on a handkerchief after series of practice, I understand the steps and I carried it out. Because this steps requires more care so as not to spoil the material I'm using I decided to do more practise with a scarf that is not useful until when I knew how to do it and now decided to use a handkerchief for this contest.
How I made it
After inserting my yarn to the handkerchiefs, I started the petals with a single stitch then added 5 double stitch which takes me to another begining of another petal and I start with a single stitch. I repeated the process till the end. You can watch the video for more explanation on how I did it.
Make only one of the two roses explained in this lesson. Support your task with videos, a photo collage, and at least one photo of the completed task.
How I made it
I started by making a starting knot, then I knitted a 32 chains. At then end of it I left 2 spaces and begin the next step with a half double stitch.
To make the half double crochet, I yarn over, passed the hook through the stitch, pull it out to form three strands on the crochet hook. Now, I took a loop and passed it through two firat strands then passed through the last two. I repeated the same process of making the half double crochet in the remaining part of this step.
At the end of the row, I make 5 chains then turn it, leave two spaces and in the third chain I make a single crochet, then make 5 chains and repeat the same process until the end of this step. And after finishing the steps, i have 10 squares holes that i will use to make the petals of my flower. Finally for this steps to finish, I make a single crochet and a chain stitch, then we turn it to start making the petals.
Take a look at how it will be below 👇
Finally steps to begin this final step, I make a single crochet, a nine double crochets and finish with a single crochet all in the same hole. I repeated this pattern to complete this steps then, I made a single crochet in the starting chain and close it with a slip stitch and my work came out beautiful. A beautiful rose.
Finally it was done and then i took photographs of it.

Thank you steemit team for this great privilege,if I was to pay and learn this skill I know how much it would have cost me, but here I am learning a skill and I'm being compensated for learning it.
I love you all
