Beginner Crochet Easy Crochet Flowers
Did you ever have some old boring piece of clothing that you felt just needed a little something to be pretty. Well here is a quick and easy way to do it, Just crochet some pretty flowers to add a little flair to any item of clothing.
You can embellish hats, scarves, headbands, bags, home decor, jackets (any piece of clothing). You can attach a pretty flower to anything. A word of caution though, once you start crocheting flowers you just might find that, that is all you want to do.
Crocheting flowers is easier than you think and just as fast.
I have taken a number of easy flower patterns and assembled them together for you to try.
1. Pretty Primrose Flower taken from LisaAuch blog
This is a pretty little yellow flower that can be put on a hairpin, hairband. It could be sewn onto a purse, cellphone cover, pencil bag the uses are endless.
Flower pattern:
Rnd 1: With contrasting color thread, ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Join with sl st to first sc. Cut off thread.
Rnd 2: Attach main color, [ (ch 2, 3dc, ch 2, sl st) in the same sc, sl st to the next sc], 5 times, making 5 petals. Cut off.
Leaves pattern:
Rnd 1: With green, ch 10, slip stitch into 3rd stitch from hook, sc, hdc, hdc, dc, dc, trc, trc, chain 3 slip into last chaning on hook. DO NOT TURN, working back along the foundation chain.
Ch 3, trc, trc, trc, dc, dc, sc,sc, ch 1 and slip into top point of leaf (row 1s 2nd ch.)
Sew leaves to the back of flower.
2. Easy Flower Applique With Treble Crochet Petals Taken from About Home
and is Designed By: Amy Solovay.
You can use this pattern for crocheting a small flower applique that lies flat. It could adorn small projects such as hair clips, headbands and gadget cozies, or you could crochet bunches of these flowers to stitch onto larger projects.
Supplies Needed:
Yarn or Crochet Thread: You can try making this project using any yarn or crochet thread. I recommend smooth yarns but it could also be interesting if crocheted in textured novelty yarns if you want to experiment. I used Pale Blue Bernat Softee baby yarn to crochet the sample flower.
Crochet Hook Size / Finished Flower Size:
Flower measures a bit shy of 2 inches (5.5 cm) when crocheted with Bernat Softee and a size F hook.
Flower measures about 2 1/4 inches (6cm ) when crocheted with Bernat Softee and a size H hook.
Your finished flower sizes will vary based on the yarn and hook you use (plus other factors such as your unique way of crocheting.)
