Crochet Flower Tutorial
Click pictures to enlarge, and don't look at my ugly, unmanicured, stay-at-home mother of three fingernails!
As promised this is my quick and easy flower tutorial. These make great hair pins or barrettes.
They could also be used to decorate gifts, to spiff up some ready to wear clothing, and baby booties. Let me know all the ways you could use them!
I used sport weight yarn and a size H hook. This pattern will work with lots of other hook and thread combinations, as shown above.
Chain 6.
Join with a slip stitch to beginning chain to form a "loop".
Chain 3.
Work triple crochet in main "loop", over yarn tail as shown, repeat three more times.
There will be four triple crochet in each petal. Single crochet, then start next petal.
Work five petals.
Slip stitch to beginning petal.
Now using the yarn tail that you have crochet to the loop, gently pull the center tight.
To finish off pull yarn to back of flower, cut, and tie to yarn tail using a square knot.

Oh, Samantha, your work is beautiful. I do so much sewing, it's often lovely to snuggle up on the lounge & do some small hand stitching. Love Posie
Forgot to leave my gem of advice, use the little crochet flowers on hair elastics & bobby pins, super sweet & the hair bands are less likely to be disgarded. Love Posie
These are darling ! The princesses looked so sweet this morning with them in their hair.
I think I need something between Tutorial 2 and this, cuz my attempt at a flower looks NOTHING like yours. LOL! I think I'm going to work on a bookmark. :)
I tried to find online instructions that I could follow to make a crochet flower for hours last night. Your's is the first one I could do correctly! I just started to crochet. I am adding the flowers to a scarf I just finished for my 9-yr old. Thank you for your instructions!
Hi Samantha,
I just ordered your Miss Molly pattern and will be working on it this week. I am so excited to see the final results. This is a great tutorial, very easy, perfect for me! Thanks for sharing your talents!

That is cool, I made some crocheted flowers from a library book I have that turned out cute but they were huge and bulky, this one looks about right for a little girls hat that is what I wanted it to go on or on barrettes maybe. Thanks!
I spent today re-learning how to crochet. Your patterns and your tutorials are a priceless gift you give to us. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so very much, I had googled crocheted flower but didn't really see anything that was simple and would lie flat on a card. Sure appreciate the pattern, TFS Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne
This was so easy to follow! Thank you so much for sharing, I have been having fun learning how to Crochet! I hope to learn how to make a flapper hat, they are so darn cute!
These are PERFECT to go on top of the little cactus I'm crocheting for my desk at work! I'm going to make pink & white ones together like in your picture :) Natalie
AWESOME! Thank you so much! I just did one for a baby hat for Spring. I'm going to make bunches ahead of time.

Megan,
I have looked and looked for these pictures in my files and I just can't find them anymore. The only way I would be able to make them larger would be re-load them. I'm sorry!
xoxo,
Samantha

Hi, I love your blog and added for my following. I hope you do not mind. I am learning to crochet, knitting and sewing.
Oath.
hello ! I am French and I appreciate very much
American and English persons who give so many informations, it is very useful, interesting and generous from them. In France there are some informations, but in Italy and Spain they only show their work, they don't give the explanations. So, again, thank you and tell that around you.micheline
Thank you for your adorable pattern!! I am in love with making little crochet flowers at the moment...(until the mood changes). But I was wondering how you made the double flower one (pink and white)? I would be thrilled to make some of those for a project!! thank you
I make rubber stamped greeting cards and we are putting these crochet flowers on our cards. Of course they sell fleurettes (same as yours) in the StampinUp catalog but I think I'll make my own, thanks to you. I also sew and knit and I'm hoping to learn from you. You ROCK!
Sam
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much for this flower pattern. I have tried a gazillion flower patterns, and this is the only one that I can whip up quickly and looks just as impressive as the more complex patterns.
Hi, I love these flowers!! Just crocheted q hat for my grand-daughter and added these flowers around the brim!! CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!!! Thanks for the easy directions!!
Thanks for the easy directions! Added them to a crocheted hat I made for my grandbaby, even though it's summer!! It will make a nice Christmas present!!
