Every piece is small and quick, so it's a relaxing project you can make a little at a time. 🧶

🧵 Materials

• Mercerized cotton yarn, DK weight, in deep teal and plum purple 🎨

• 10 mm round wooden or bronze beads, or crochet them yourself (pattern below) 🟤
• Polyester fiberfill, a small amount for crochet beads ☁️
• Tapestry needle 🪡
• Stitch markers
• A wooden or metal curtain rod, about 90 cm (35 in) long
• A piece of stiff cardboard, 10 cm (4 in) tall, for the tassels ✂️
• Blocking mat and pins 📌

How much yarn? These amounts are estimates and depend on your tension. For the full curtain, plan on about 320 g of deep teal and 210 g of plum, including the tassels. Buy a little extra of each color and use the same dye lot. 🧶

📖 Abbreviations (US terms)

MR magic ring · ch chain · sc single crochet · hdc half double crochet · dc double crochet · tr treble crochet · sc2tog single crochet 2 together · sl st slip stitch · st(s) stitch(es) · rnd round

📋 The Plan

The curtain has 12 strands. Each strand has 7 teal flowers and 6 plum medallions, alternating (teal, plum, teal, plum…), so it starts and ends with a teal flower. A bead sits between every two motifs, and a two-tone tassel hangs at the bottom. 🎨

You will make: 84 teal flowers · 72 plum medallions · 156 beads (13 per strand: one for each link and one above the tassel) · 12 tassels. Then you join everything into strands and hang them on the rod.

🌸 The Teal Eight-Petal Flower (make 84)

Use deep teal and the 3 mm hook.

Rnd	Instructions	Stitches
1	MR, ch 1, 8 sc in the ring. Sl st to the first sc. Pull the ring almost closed, leaving a small open center.	8
2	Ch 3 (counts as a dc), dc in the same st, 2 dc in each st around. Sl st to the top of the ch 3.	16
3 (petals)	*Ch 2, (dc, tr, dc) in the next st, ch 2, sl st in the next st.* Repeat from * to * 8 times, working the last sl st into the joining st.	8 petals

Fasten off and weave in the ends. A finished flower measures about 5 cm (2 in) across. Make one test flower and check its size before you make all 84. ✅

💜 The Plum Medallion (make 72)

Use plum purple and the 3 mm hook.

Rnd	Instructions	Stitches
1	MR, ch 3 (counts as a dc), 11 dc in the ring. Sl st to the top of the ch 3. Pull the ring tight, leaving a tiny hole.	12
2	Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around. Sl st to the first sc.	24
3	Ch 1, *sc in the next st, ch 1, skip 1 st.* Repeat around. Sl st to the first sc. This gives the medallion its pretty picot-like edge.	12 sc + 12 ch

Fasten off and weave in the ends. The medallion measures about 3.5 cm (1⅜ in) across. Block the flowers and medallions flat on a blocking mat so they hang nicely. 📌

🟤 Crochet Beads (optional, make 156)

You can use 10 mm wooden or bronze beads, or crochet little beads in teal and plum to match:

Rnd	Instructions	Stitches
1	MR, 6 sc in the ring	6
2	2 sc in each st around	12
3	sc in each st around	12
4	sc2tog 6 times	6

Stuff lightly with a little fiberfill before closing. Fasten off, leaving a long tail, and sew the hole closed. 🌟

🎀 Two-Tone Tassels (make 12)

Hold teal and plum yarn together and wrap them about 25 times around a piece of cardboard 10 cm (4 in) tall. Slide a short piece of yarn under the loops at the top and tie it tightly. Cut the loops at the bottom. Wrap teal yarn around the tassel about 1.5 cm below the top to form the "head", knot it and hide the ends inside. Trim the bottom evenly with sharp scissors. ✂️

🔗 Making a Strand (make 12)

1. Lay out the motifs. Place 7 teal flowers and 6 plum medallions in a line on the table, alternating colors, starting and ending with a teal flower. 🎨
2. Make the hanging loop. Join teal yarn with a sl st in the tip of the top petal of the first flower. Ch 14 and sl st back into the same petal tip to make a loop for the rod. Fasten off.
3. Join the motifs. Join teal yarn in the tip of the bottom petal of the flower. Ch 3, slide a bead onto the hook loop or sew it on later, ch 3, then sl st into the edge of the next medallion. Continue the same way from the bottom of the medallion to the top petal of the next flower. Each link is about 2 cm long.
4. Add the beads. If you didn't thread them as you went, sew one bead onto the middle of each link with a tapestry needle, passing through the chain so the bead sits straight. ✨
5. Add the tassel. From the bottom petal of the last flower, ch 4, add a bead, ch 2, then sl st around the head of a tassel, or sew the tassel on firmly. 🎀

🪟 Hanging the Curtain

Slide the 12 loops onto the curtain rod, about 6.5 cm (2½ in) apart. For a playful look, hang every other strand one motif lower (about 7 cm), so each plum medallion sits next to a teal flower and the colors form a checkerboard with a pretty staggered hem. Smooth each strand with your fingers so the flowers face the front and hang straight. 🌸

🎨 Color Ideas

• Sage & blush: soft and romantic for a bedroom window. 🌷
• Navy & mustard: bold and cheerful for a kitchen door. 💛
• Ivory & gold: elegant and calm for a living room. 🤍
• Rainbow: one color per strand for a happy kids' room. 🌈

⏱️ Skill Level & Time

Skill level: Easy to intermediate. If you can work a magic ring, double crochet and chains, you can make this curtain.

Time: My estimate is about 10 minutes per flower and 7 minutes per medallion, so roughly 25 hours for all the motifs, plus the beads, tassels and assembly. Your own speed may be different, and the small pieces are perfect to make a few at a time. ☕

💡 Tips for a Perfect Curtain

• Make a test strand first. Crochet 2 flowers and 1 medallion, join them and check the spacing before you make everything.
• Work in batches. Make all the teal flowers first, then all the plum medallions. You'll get faster and every piece will be the same size.
• Block everything. Flat, even motifs hang much better than curled ones.
• Hang it while you assemble. Seeing the strands on the rod makes it easy to keep them straight and the same length.
• Adjust the length. Each extra flower with its link adds about 7 cm (2¾ in) and each medallion with its link about 5.5 cm (2⅛ in). For a door curtain of about 195 cm, use 15 flowers and 14 medallions per strand.

🎁 Make It Personal

This curtain makes a beautiful housewarming or wedding gift. 💕 Make a short café-style version for a kitchen window with 3 flowers and 2 medallions per strand, or use it as a boho room divider with more strands. 🏡

🧼 Care

Hand-wash gently in cool water with a little mild soap. Press the water out with a towel (don't wring it), then lay the strands flat to dry and reshape the petals while damp. Keep the curtain away from direct heat and candles. 🕯️

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use acrylic yarn?
Yes, but mercerized cotton gives crisper petals, holds its shape better and doesn't fuzz in the sunlight.

How many motifs do I need for a door?
For a door of about 195 cm, plan on 15 flowers and 14 medallions per strand. Use my planning guide to calculate the exact number.

Do I have to use beads and tassels?
No. You can use simple chain links and end each strand with a flower, but the beads and tassels add weight that helps the strands hang straight.

Is the curtain heavy?
Each strand is light, but the full curtain adds up, so use a sturdy rod.

Can I wash it in the machine?
I recommend hand-washing only, because the strands and tassels can tangle in a washing machine.

✅ Enjoy making it, and happy crocheting! 🧶💖
