Free Flower Crochet Patterns

Crocheted flowers never wilt, and they are the perfect scrap-yarn project: most take under thirty minutes and a few metres of yarn. Here you will find free crochet flower patterns — roses, daisies, layered blossoms, flower appliqués and granny squares with floral centres — each translated into US-standard notation with clear round-by-round counts.

Flowers are also the best way to practise new stitches in miniature: picots, clusters, and standing stitches all show up in petal work. Stiffen finished flowers with a fabric stiffener spray if they will decorate bags or hair clips, and layer two or three sizes of the same flower for instant depth. They make lovely embellishments for hats, blankets and gift wrapping.
