Crochet Flowers
Crochet flowers aren’t just fun to make, they can be the ultimate hand made gift too. How often have I given friends or family members a gorgeous bunch of flowers, only to find out they lasted three days at best? It’s not a fun feeling, but it’s totally avoidable if you know how to crochet.
For my friend’s birthday a few years ago I crocheted her the sunflowers that I’ve shared the pattern for below. They still sit in a vase in her living room, pretty much looking as lovely as they did when they first appeared from my hook.
Crochet Daffodil
The daffodil is one that has a place really close to my heart. Every year in England it’s this sure sign that Spring has properly sprung, and that finally the cold and rain might depart for a few weeks. I’ve also always been very taken with the distinctive trumpet shape, so it mattered a lot to me to get that just right within my crochet design. I hope this has done it justice, but check it out here and see what you think!
Crochet Tulip
What could be more eye catching than a tulip? Another real staple around here in Spring, this iconic flower is often found in huge color blocked groups outside country manors and castles, or just sprinkled around people’s backyards. To get that iconic upright shape, you’ll be crocheting your petals separately, working in the round and connecting them at the base of the flower’s head. They make lovely standalone flowers for your crochet display, or would look fabulous in a bunch to hand to your friend on a special occasion.
Floral Bookmarks
I’ve been having a lot of fun crocheting bookmarks recently. There has been some real variety in designs, but my personal favorites are these floral patterns. The head of the flower pokes out of the end of your book, whilst the long flat stem lays across the pages, marking the point where you were unwilling forced to stop reading for a while. You can vary the stem length depending on the books you want them to fit, and there are two flower head designs in this pattern.
Puff Flowers
Funnily enough, puff flowers were one of the very first patterns I published on this website way back in 2016. I’ve changed and updated the pattern a few times since then, settling on my current favorite that you can see pictured below. These look best when made with an aran yarn for the petals, ideally in a low cotton or high wool fiber.
Crochet Sunflowers
If someone asked you to name a flower, I bet sunflowers would be fairly high up on the list. And who can blame us for loving them so much, with their dizzying heights and bold petals. Whether you are driving past fields of them waving together in the wind, or showing them off in pots beside your door, these flowers just scream happiness, and I love them for it. My pattern joins two and three dimensional crochet shapes to really try to show off just what the humble sunflower is all about.
