Crochet flowers: prettiest ideas to make or buy

Crochet flowers: prettiest ideas to make or buy

The tail end of Winter is always when I feel the deepest yearning for Spring flowers. I fill the house with daffodils and spring bulbs in every conceivable container I can think of. Sunshine colours, optimistic fragrance and a promise of sunshine-warmed days to come are always cheering – if always a little too fleeting. Then I happened across this exquisite Little Beauty botanical tulip crochet pattern on Etsy and, just like that, a whole new avenue of Spring crafting loveliness opened up. I have already learned the basics of crochet (see my posts:How to crochet a flower… and more and crochet basics – a beginner’s guide) so this pattern (described as Intermediate level) is set to be a bit of challenge, but I’m up for it. Why haven’t I thought to crochet my own Spring flowers before?

This set me off down a bit of a rabbit hole. A pretty rabbit hole, full of crochet flowers to make or buy. So I thought I’d share my findings with you, as I know that most of you are way more adept with a crochet hook than I am. I hope you find something you love to make (or buy). As always, do let me know how you get on – it’s always such a pleasure to hear from you and to see photos of the wonderful creations you make.

Crochet flowers to make – free patterns

One totally great resource I found was Hookok who have lots of beautiful free patterns and videos as well as some exquisite crochet flower bouquets to buy.

I’ll share a few of my favourites here, but check out their whole collection of patterns which includes roses, dandelion, daffodil, lily, freesia, poppy, wild flowers, dahlia, anemone, baby’s breath, daisy, lavender, wild strawberry, forget-me-not and more. Check their free patterns list here.

Dahlia free crochet pattern & video

How gorgeous is this dahlia? They say it’s suitable for crocheters at an intermediate level, requiring some crochet skills. The most challenging part of the process might be working with front and back loops only, as well as using the Afghan stitch technique. However, they encourage you to try patterns you might doubt you can make, because their videos are a helpful guide for beginners to increase their skills.

freesia

This freesia is also really lovely and would mix well with other more solid flowers if you wanted to make a bouquet.

Daffodil

I also had to include this daffodil because it really captures the beauty of that most welcome of spring flowers.

Anemone (and roses)

How pretty are these two? The anemone pattern is free to download here and the roses here.

poppy

This poppy is also so pretty…

As I mentioned earlier, Hookok also make a range of beautiful crochet bouquets to buy. My favourite is probably this one which combines a variety of pretty pink roses.

How exquisite is this Colourful tulips and spring flowers bouquet crochet kit from Hookok? It includes the pattern and everything you need to make 8 tulips, 2 freesia, 1 small daisy, 1 multi-head rose, 2 forget me not, 1 cymbidium leaf, 1 four-season leaf, 1 eucalyptus leaf.

Flower and pot crochet pattern

How cute is this? I love the idea of making a few of these – there are different varieties to choose from in the pattern, available to buy as a PDF instant download on Hookok.

Tulip ‘little beauty’

Spring crochet flowers bouquet

This pretty Spring crochet flowers bouquet pattern would make a very special handmade (and long lasting) gift don’t you think?

Lychette has a great collection of patterns including this exquisite rose pattern:

I also really love this Apple Blossom pattern:

If you’re looking for more crochet flower ideas, Alexandra’s Garden Flowers is a great book resource.

The 30 flower patterns in this fun book include Snowdrop, Primrose, Daffodil, Hyacinth, Tulip, Allium, Chrysanthemum, Rose, Fuchsia, Sunflower, Gerbera, Marigold and Dahlia, and turns them into adorable yarn creatures.

Whilst we’re on the subject of crochet books, how perfect is this vintage title from Japan? It’s available to buy in various book stores and marketplaces, and at the time of writing there are also 3 copies for sale on Etsy. There are 25 project ideas, along with diagrams to make them. The photography alone makes this book a thing of beauty.

If you share my love of Japanese crochet books, you might enjoy a browse of PomadorsCraftCafe on Etsy which is a treasure trove of crochet, sewing, knitting and embroidery pattern books.

I also really love the look of this book by Kana Nakazato, also available to buy on Etsy.

Crochet flowers to buy

This is probably my own favourite of the crochet flowers I’ve picked out to buy. I love the simplicity as well as how well the tulips have been captured.

How about this exquisite bouquet of crochet flowers available to order in a range of sizes and colours?

Another noteworthy pick is this gorgeous crochet delphinium, handmade to order by Crochet Arts by Amber.

How about this pretty Spring flowers garland by Wends Wonder Woolies in Exeter which includes narcissi, daffodil, pansy, primula and cherry blossom.

I hope you found something that either set your crochet hook twitching or is destined to be a gift for someone you love.
