40 Fabulous Free Crochet Flower Patterns
/
Back on 31st January I started a #The100DayProject on Instagram, setting myself the challenge #100daysofmaking flowers.
Did I have time for this challenge? Not really!
I absolutely knew I wouldn’t get the challenge done in 100 days, something like that would never work for me! I kept it deliberately vague, so although I knew I wanted to try out lots of crochet flower patterns I also wanted to be able to create other sorts of flowers. I ended up with a mix of crochet, paper, embroidered and fabric flowers plus some doodled flowers but I think that each and every one was different.
In the course of my challenge I was able to find and try lots and lots of crochet flower patterns, 40 in all so I thought you’d like to see them collected together. A couple of them are duplicates but that’s where I made a mistake and misread the pattern! Mostly this happened due to the difference with UK and US crochet terms, I’m normally pretty good at checking first but sometimes mistakes happen! Occasionally I just misread the pattern, but if the result was a sweet flower I thought it was worth including here.
Most of the patterns I used are available for free, I’ve included the links wherever I can. These photos are all my version of the crochet flower patterns. Click through on the links underneath each one to see the pattern, tutorial and original photos.
1: Summer Flower Bunting from Felted Button
2: Double Flowers from AnneMaries Haak Blog
3: Apple Blossom by Flo and Dot from Mollie Makes Magazine Crochet Wreath in issue 104
4: Crochet Rosette from Rebekah Haas Crochet
5: Loopy Flower from Crochet 365 Knit Too
6: Triple Layer Flower from Attic 24
7: Poppy Flower from Thoresby Cottage
8: Flor em crochet from No lugar que chamo Casa
9: Faith Flower, one of the Flowers of Hope from Frederika Creates on Instagram
10: Puffy Crochet Daisy from Ravella Designs
11: Simple mini crochet flower pattern , this is one of mine! (I’ve made this same pattern into a flower garland using a slightly thicker yarn if you want more ideas for this simple pattern)
12: Flower 5 from Annemarie’s Haak Blog
13: Simple Dainty Flower from My Hobby is Crochet
14: The first 3 rounds of Flower Granny Square from Hooky Chia
15: The first 2 rounds of 3D Tiny Flower Square from Hooky Chia
16: Mothers Day Flower Brooch from Little Doolally
17: Bonus Mini Flower from Frederika Creates (this is not quite right though as I did US crochet terms and the pattern is written in UK terms - my mistake!)
18: Blackberry Flower from My Hobby is Crochet
19: Little Flowers from Atelier Marie-Lucienne
20: Rolled Rose with sewn edging
21: Simple crochet flower with a blanket stitch edging
22: Tiny Peony from Picot Pals
23: Crochet flower motif from Cynthia Banessa
24: The same crochet flower as 23 except not done properly! I only did half the petal stitches, so 6 trebles (that’s UK terms, the pattern is written in US terms) Doh! A mistake but it’s sweet enough to be included here.
25: The large size rose, (which is ironic as it’s the smallest flower here by a long shot!) from the crochet coffee sleeve from Skip to my Lou.
26: This flower was a joy to make, I LOVE anemones and couldn’t just stop at one of these, I had to make more! And I’m sure these won’t be the last of these I make. This lovely little pattern is from Pink Milk
27: Spring Crochet Flowers from Anabelia Handmade
28: The same Spring Crochet Flower as 27 but another mistake! I did UK dtr instead of US dtr. With a lot of flowers it seems that a mistake like this doesn’t matter too much, you still end up with a sweet flower.
29: Taanvi’s flower from Pink Mambo
30: Easy Crochet Summer Flower from Golden Lucy Crafts
31: 3d tiny flower square by Hooky Chia (the same as 15) but this time with the square as well
32: Picot Flower from SkaMama’s Bone Hook
33: 9 Petal Summer Flower Motif by Elise Engh Studios
34) Kanzashi Flower from The Little Treasures
35) 4 petal flowers from Ravella Design (this one is a Youtube video tutorial)
36) Flower no. 49 from Anabelia Craft Design (this one is from a chart rather than a pattern so I’m not entirely sure I’ve done this one correctly)
37) Easy Crochet Flowers from Annie Design Crochet
38) Free Flowers from Elealinda Design
39) Blooming Crochet Flowers from Annie Design Crochet
40) Flower with Layered Petals from Carmen Heffernan for Gathered (Carmen is in fact Annie Design so this flower is really similar to 39. The first layer to petals is smaller though - unless that is me making yet another mistake!)
And now I confess I made a boo boo. I thought I’d got to 40 crocheted flowers as part of my 100 day challenge but in fact when I checked properly I saw I’d done 42 so the good news is I have 2 bonus flowers for you! Love a happy accident :-)
41) Little Crochet Flower Pattern from Zeens and Roger (OMG I love this pattern so much, each one takes about 5 minutes so you can really churn them out and they look really cute too!)
42) Sakura Flower from Crochet Road - this one is on Crochet Road’s Instagram, it’s on one of her permanent stories, the circles pinned at the top of her profile, you have to scroll to the right to find it.
So there you have it, 42 beautiful crochet flower patterns. Being able to make flowers was why I learnt to crochet in the first place, many years ago. A rolled up rose was one of the first things I ever crocheted once I was ready to move on from a granny square so they have a very special place in my heart. My main takeaway from this year of making flowers is that when it comes to crochet flowers if often doesn’t matter if you make a mistake. Almost every time I misread the pattern I ended up with a lovely little flower. How great is that!
Crochet flowers can be used for so many things. Turn them into a brooch or corsage, sew them to a hat, scarf or bag, make jewellery, greeting cards, gift tags or use them for yarn bombing. I’ll put together a collection of ideas to use them and add it here in the new year. That collection is now available - 25 ways to use crochet flowers:
Flowers are perfect if you are an expert crocheter and are looking for something quick and easy to use up your yarn scraps but they are also great for beginners. Once you’ve mastered the basics they are great to add some new skills in small projects that give almost instant gratification.
I’m adding a little link up here too, so if you are a crochet blogger and have a nice little free flower pattern that I’ve not included above do feel free to add it here as an extra resource:
