Pattern overview

Yarn For The Crochet Flower

To crochet flowers you can use any two colors of yarn you have, and these are especially great for leftover yarn and scrap yarn.

If you are crocheting a different crochet pattern and want to use these crochet flowers as embellishments, it’s best to use the same yarn and crochet hook size as the pattern you’re following.

The yarn used on the samples are Basic Stitch by Lion Brand Yarn, a 100% acrylic yarn.

However, you can also use different types of yarn, like cotton yarn, crochet thread or wool yarn.

Materials & Tools for Crochet Appliqués

To crochet appliques, you can use any size/mm crochet hook and yarn.

You can use any yarn fiber, like cotton yarn, wool yarn or acrylic yarn.

If you are attaching them to a crochet project, it’s great if you can use the same crochet hook and yarn as for the main project.

It’s common to use either 3 light yarn (dk weight yarn) or 4 medium weight yarn (aran or worsted weight yarn).

Here are a couple of yarns I’d recommend to crochet appliques:

Lion Brand Wool Ease
Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton

These two yarns come in many beautiful colors & work for a range of applique patterns.

Next, you’ll need a crochet hook that matches the yarn weight.

This easy crochet project is really versatile and you can use it in many ways.

One idea is to make crochet flower bouquets made up of many of these crochet flowers. You can layer crochet flowers into a bouquet and gift it for mother’s day!

Another idea is to make the crochet blossoms with thinner yarn, like dk weight yarn, to make them smaller and attach them to hair clips.

The pattern is suitable for adventurous crochet beginners and you can make each round in what feels like a couple of minutes.
