I often share quite a few crafts I’ve made from other people’s patterns, but there hasn’t been much that has come directly from my own brain. Sooo, I am going to rectify that now and share a crochet pattern for little flowers that I’ve come up with myself.

It’s a pattern for some delicate little flowers. I’m sure there are lots of similar ones out there, but this one is nice because I created it for my friend’s daughter. She wanted some hair clips with crochet flowers, and this is what I came up with.  There are two sizes because the first size I made was just a bit too big to stick on a hair clip. So, I downsized the flower motif. I don’t remember if I took photographs of the original flowers I made; this idea happened about two years ago!

Little Flower Crochet Pattern

Please excuse me if the pattern doesn’t work; I’ve never done this properly before. My notebook has words and pictures that I deciphered, translating that has been…interesting… Gosh, if that doesn’t fill you with confidence!

For both of these quick crochet patterns, I used a 3mm hook and Stylecraft Special DK. I’ve written the pattern in UK terms.

Round 2: Join new colour with a ss between a pair of spokes (pictured above), 6dc in each 5ch sp (space), ss in between each pair of spokes, join with a ss to the first ss. Fo and sew in ends. (Round 2 is pictured, below).

Extra Small Flower Pattern.

Ch5 and join with a ss.
Round  1: Ch2, 1htr into ring (counts as 1 pair of spokes), (ch3, 2htr) x4, ch3 and join with ss to the top of the ch2. – [5petals]. Fo.

Round 2: Join new colour with a ss in between a pair of spokes. 4dc in each 3ch sp, ss in between each pair of spokes. Join with a ss to the first stitch. Fo and sew in ends.

With the help of a glue gun, just wodge these on a hair clip. I can see lots of them together on a headband, too, or do whatever you like with them! I am pretty sure these little crochet flowers are very versatile!

My First Ever Written Crochet Pattern!

There, my first ever published crochet pattern. I do have more designs that I’m going to blog about, including one that I am completely in love with, which is very cute indeed. I want to see if I’ve got this one right before I get overexcited though. I’d love to hear what people think, but please don’t hate it!!
