Easy Crochet Flower Patterns

It could be argued that no crochet pieces lie totally flat, because all crochet has texture and dimension. While that is true, it is also true that some crocheted flowers lie flatter than others, and some are more three-dimensional. This flower lies at the flatter end of the spectrum. It makes a nice applique; if you need a quick flower to stitch to another item, this one's a great choice.

This flower is similar to the flat flower applique linked above. There are a couple of slight differences. The petals each have one less stitch in them, making them slimmer; the stitches are treble crochets rather than double crochets, which results in slightly longer petals.

I designed this pattern because I wanted a flower with long, slim petals to use in a flower granny hexagon pattern I was working on. This flower works perfectly for that purpose.

If you need a little flower for dressing up small crochet projects like baby clothes, gadget cozies or pouches, this popcorn flower might be just what you need.

This little flower is a bit more three-dimensional than the flatter flower linked above; the petals have more depth.

This easy crocheted flower has a lot of "blank space" in the center, making it the perfect layering piece. You can pile all kinds of different embellishments on top of it -- beads, buttons and baubles or even other crocheted flowers. If you're a minimalist, don't worry, the flower is also beautiful on its own; no additions are necessary.
