5 Petal Crochet Flower Pattern

by | Accessories, All Designs, Crochet, Free Patterns

I know it seems like I’ve been talking crochet a lot these days, so I just want to explain a bit.  Not that crocheting needs explanation, I love it!  But right now, my craft space is under renovation and has no floor, which means 99% of my supplies are in storage, and the only thing I could get to were my crochet hooks and a couple balls of yarn.  So there it is.  You’ll see my desk re-do once I’m done, and my new floors once they’re in too.  If you can’t wait, imagine how I feel!  For now, here’s a little crochet flower for you to enjoy!

When I was making hats for my craft fair, I discovered that I tended toward boyish or at the very least, gender neutral hat colors and designs.  Maybe because I have a little boy at home and always despair at the lack of cute boy designs.  I did make “girlie” hats, in hot pink, for example.  But I’m not a (very) girlie girl, and you won’t ever catch me with a hot pink hat.  I’m also terrible at making up my mind, so I like having options available for those last minute mood-dependent decisions.  I decided to make (and sell) crocheted flower pins that can be pinned to a hat (or not), so you can mix and match flower and hat colors.

I couldn’t find a flower pattern that I loved, so I made up my own.  These little flowers are quick and easy to make, and can brighten up any outfit.  Or group them together for some springtime cheer!

5-Petal Crochet Flower

Supplies

G size (4.25 mm) crochet hook
Small amount of cotton or acrylic worsted weight yarn.
Yarn needle
Pin or Barrette

Abbreviations, in US terms:

ch = chain stitch
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
hdc = half double crochet stitch
dc = double crochet stitch

Magic Ring:  Wrap yarn around 2 fingers as if to start with a chain, pull up a loop, but do not tighten.  Yarn over, and secure a chain stitch on hook.  Work Round 1 stitches into ring then pull tight.

*Note:  If you intend on attaching a pin or barrette to the flower, I recommend leaving a long tail before you start, and using the tail to secure the pin/barrette once the flower is complete.

Round 1:  Start with a magic ring.  5 sc in the ring.  Join with sl st to first sc, pull tight.

Round 2:  *Ch 3, sl st in next sc*.  Repeat from * 4 more times.  The last sl st will be in the sc you started with.  You should have 5 loops.

Round 3:  Work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in each ch-3 space.

Round 4:  * Ch 5, working behind the first set of petals, sl st in the back of the sc from Round 2*.  Repeat from * 4 more times, with the last sl st at the beginning of the first ch-5.

Round 5:  Work (sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc) in ch-5 space.  Join with a sl st in first sc of round.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

This picture is my attempt to show where to make the slip stitch after the 5 ch in Round 4.  This is the back of the flower, with the white section being the back of the sc stitch from Round 2.

  15. Leslie

    I appreciate how much work went into that great piece. Very pretty. I make a bunch to put on baby hats that I knit.

  16. ChiWei

    Thanks Leslie! I use pins so the flowers can be interchangeable, but that’s because I can never make up my mind on anything! 🙂

  17. Quinnettafl

  20. Kathy Brandt

    These would be pretty in variegated yarn!

  21. ChiWei

    They would! If you try them, let me know on my Facebook page – I’d love to see your results!

  22. jackie taylor

    I can not print this pattern..could you email it to me?

  23. ChiWei

    Do you mean you couldn’t print it from the browser? I do not have a PDF copy of the pattern to give away – it’s just available on the website.

  24. Momotto

    How did the bridal bouquet turn out? I’m working on one now for my daughter.

  25. jewelers virginia beach

    It is but natural that you would buy a good amount of jewelry for the special occasion and thus
    invest a considerable amount of money in it. You
    can get Rich Coal from the NPC Provisioner in the 21st Hall, outside the crafting bunker.
    Presentation folders for jewelry display certainly
    are a great option for under stock storage when it comes to a fine
    jeweler’s excess jewelry, jewelry folders also are very good for the
    traveling jewelry salesmen who are trying to sell their jewelry.

  26. Crochet with Linda Dawn

    Hello CheWei, I would like to thank you for sharing this tutorial for this lovely crochet flower motif. I am making them now and they’re so easy. I am making some with an extra round with three sets of petals, I will also make some the same as yours and some smaller ones stopping at round 3. I am hoping I can join them altogether somehow to make myself a summer vest. That’s my plan anyhow. When I am finished I will post some pictures on my blog 🙂

  27. Maggie

    Many thanks for this – I needed something to set off the blanket I am making for my new grandchild and these are perfect.

  28. Mary

    Thanks very much for the pattern I made it in white Bernat Satin. The flower is very pretty. Easy pattern to follow. I am very grateful.

  29. susan

    Very pretty flowers. How do you attach the flower to a hair clip to attach to a hat

  30. Kay

    These are so adorable! Made a couple for my nieces’ hats 🙂 Thank you so much!!

  31. ChiWei

    I left a long tail and wrapped it around a hair barette or pin, but you can also just glue it in place. Thanks!

  32. ChiWei

    Thanks for sharing!
