Project Description
This little flower is crocheted using a combination of basic crochet stitches and popcorn stitches. The flower can be used by itself as an applique, or it can be layered on top of larger flowers to create interesting three-dimensional blooms.
Skill Level: easy
Supplies Needed:
- Yarn or Crochet Thread: You can use just about any size fiber to make this project. To crochet the flower you see pictured on this page, I used Bernat Softee baby yarn in a color called "Prettiest Pink."
- Crochet Hook Size: To crochet the sample flower, I used a size H / 8 - 5.0 mm crochet hook. Feel free to use whatever hook works best with the yarn or thread you have chosen.
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Finished Size:
My flower measures 2 1/4 inches in diameter, measuring from the tip of one petal to the tip of the opposite petal. Flower sizes will vary based on supplies used and other factors.
