Spring is right around the corner, which means its time for spring crochet projects! I’m a big nature-lover so any excuse to crochet flowers and plants, I’ll take it. Crochet flowers are a great way to add a touch of color and texture to any project. They’re versatile, easy to make, and can be used in a variety of ways, from embellishing a hat or bag to creating a whole garden of flowers for a decorative wall hanging. For this crochet flower, I went for a cartoon-like amigurumi style. This flower plush makes for fun spring decor or as a big accent to your amigurumi projects. This one is made using pink and yellow yarn, but feel free to use any colors you would like.
I have a full tutorial for this crochet flower on YouTube (at the bottom of this page) if you are more of a visual learner. For this pattern, I used Premier Parfait Chunky yarn (which is my favorite yarn) for a soft pastel look. Click here to get Premier yarn for this project. If you enjoy this pattern, please give me a follow on social media and let me know what other free patterns you would love to see! Also, don’t forget to tag me in your creations on instagram. Happy crocheting 🙂
Tips for Success
- Keep your tension even. If your tension is too tight, your flower will be stiff and difficult to shape. If your tension is too loose, your flower will be floppy and lack structure.
- Weave in your ends as you go. This will save you time and make it easier to finish your project.
- Experiment with different colors and yarns. Crochet flowers are a great way to use up leftover yarn from other projects.
- Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Crochet is a learning process, and mistakes are a natural part of the process. If you make a mistake, simply unravel your work and start again.
MATERIALS & TOOLS
- Yarn: Premier Parfait Chunky (Size 6, Super Bulky) in pink (pink lemonade) & yellow (sunshine)
- Crochet hook (Size 6.0 mm)
- Polyfil – fiberfill stuffing
- Tapestry Needle
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
- Sewing pins
ABBREVIATIONS
- CH – chain
- SC – single crochet
- INC – single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
- DEC – decrease (I use the invisible decrease in all of my creations for a cleaner look)
- SLST – slip stitch
- FO – fasten off
- Magic ring (MR) – Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert the hook in the center of the loop, yarn over, and draw up a loop. Yarn over, and pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. There are many excellent YouTube videos on how to make a magic circle if you are a visual learner! Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round.
THIS PATTERN IS WORKED IN CONTINUOUS ROUNDS.
