Introduction Welcome to part 1 of the wedding accessories for the crocheted mini bear. In this video, we will be making a little bouquet of flowers to add to the bear. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a beautiful bouquet using simple crochet techniques.

Materials Needed Before we start, gather the following materials:

• Green yarn (worsted weight or Aran yarn)
• Yarn in yellow, purple, and pink
• Blunt-end yarn needle
• 4.25mm crochet hook
• Bobby pin

Making the Base for the Flowers To begin, we will create the base for the flowers. Here's how:

1. Chain eight stitches, starting from the second chain from the hook.
2. Make a single crochet in the next four chains.
3. Place a half double crochet in the remaining three chains.
4. Chain two and turn your work.
5. Make one-half double crochet in the first three stitches, skipping the chain made. Then, make one single crochet in the next three stitches.
6. Slip stitch in the last stitch and finish off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Adding the Flowers Now it's time to add the flowers to the base. Follow these steps:

1. Create French knots using the purple yarn. Wrap the yarn around the needle tip three times, then pull it through from the back to the front.
2. Repeat the French knot technique with the pink and yellow yarn, placing the knots randomly on the base.

Trimming and Shaping the Bouquet After adding the flowers, it's important to trim and shape the bouquet. Here's how:

1. Spread out the yarn tails of the flowers, dividing them into two halves.
2. Trim the yarn tails so they are not longer than the green part of the bouquet.
3. Fold the bouquet in half and wrap the yarn tightly from one side to the other, straightening out the stems.
4. Knot off the yarn at the top of the bouquet to secure it.

Attaching the Bouquet to the Bear To attach the bouquet to the bear, follow these steps:

1. Insert a bobby pin through the bottom of the bouquet, grabbing a bit of the yarn to hold it in place.
2. Insert the bobby pin into the bear's arm and body, securing the bouquet in place.
