If you’re looking for a free crochet flower pattern that’s quick, easy, and actually useful…you’re in the right place.
These little crochet flowers are one of my go-to makes when I want something simple, satisfying, and done in minutes. They’re perfect for adding to birthday cards, gift tags, or popping onto a present to give it that lovely handmade touch.
They’re also brilliant for stash busting…you only need a tiny bit of yarn, so it’s a great way to use up all those leftover bits we all seem to have!
What you’ll need for the crocheted flowers
You don’t need much at all for this one:
- Small amounts of yarn (DK works beautifully)
- A suitable crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Scissors
- Darning needle (optional, for finishing)
Crochet Flower Pattern (UK Terms)
Start with a slip knot and chain 5.
Look for the furthest chain from your hook and join with a slip stitch to form a circle.
Chain 2, pop a stitch marker into the 2nd chain, then work 11 treble crochets into the centre of the circle.
Join your round with a slip stitch into the stitch just after your stitch marker.
Chain 2, then work 5 treble crochets into the same stitch.
Slip stitch into the next stitch.
Now repeat the following all the way round:
5 treble crochets into the next stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch
Keep going until you have 6 petals.
Finish with a slip stitch into the last stitch, fasten off, and sew in your ends.
And that’s it…you’ve made a crochet flower!
