How to Crochet a Flower
Here’s a quick and easy crochet flower pattern you can make with a small amount of yarn in just a few minutes.
Materials You’ll Need
- Yarn: I call for worsted-weight cotton in this tutorial, but feel free to use yarn from your stash.
- Crochet Hook: A size H (5.0 mm) works well for worsted-weight yarn. Choose a smaller hook for thinner yarn and a larger one for thicker yarn.
- Stitch Markers (optional): Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of your round, or any other stitches you need to keep track of.
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle: Use a yarn needle to weave in yarn tails.

Weave in Ends. Thread your yarn needle and carefully weave in all loose ends on the back of the flower. Trim excess yarn close to the work.
Blocking (Optional): If your flower curls, pin it flat after lightly dampening it and let it air dry.
