Crochet Flower Stitch / Flame Stitch

By Candy Lifshes from Meladora’s Creations.

When I found this Flower Crochet Stitch / Flame Stitch chart for this stitch I thought Oh! This must be for the crochet flower stitch that I’ve seen before, but once I crocheted it out a bit and showed it to my hubby, he said it looked like little fires, like a campfire or something. Then I could see it and said “Oh yeah! It sorta looks like a candle flame too!”
