How to Crochet a Simple Flower in just 5 Minutes!

Jump to Pattern:

I had no idea what crochet pattern to create for this month, so I decided to see what you are all looking for. After a little bit of digging on the internet, I quickly discovered that "easy crochet projects for beginners" was one of the most popular searches. So, here we are!

This pattern for these simple crochet flowers is aimed at beginner crocheters. Once you have grasped the basic stitches, I think this is a great project to start with. These crochet flowers take about five minutes to make and they are so adorable!

Also, I did test out how long it takes to make these flowers. It took me 4 minutes and 9 seconds to make one from start to finish (that included sewing in my tail ends!). Once you have a hang of the pattern, they truly take no time at all to make!

First of all, you are not going to need any fancy equipment. Any yarn will do - I dug around and found two balls of DK yarn in white and yellow. You'll need, of course, a crochet hook. If you are new to crocheting, I suggest using a slightly bigger hook - that way you'll find it easier to see your stitches. And finally, you'll need some scissors and a darning needle.

So, let's get started!

Materials:

• a 4mm crochet hook

• some yarn of your choice, in two colours. I am using a DK yarn in yellow and white.

• scissors

• a darning needle

Abbreviations:

• sc: single crochet

• tr: treble crochet (see below)

Pattern Notes:

• This pattern is worked in US terms, not UK (if you are unsure about the difference between terms, you can find my post where I explain it in detail here).

Special Stitches: Treble Crochet

• Yarn over your hook twice and insert it into your stitch.

• Yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops on your hook (3 loops on your hook).

• Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (2 loops on your hook).

• Yarn over and pull through your last 2 loops.

Method:

The Centre:

• Taking your yellow (or centre colour) yarn, make a slip knot and chain 5. Then, sl st into the 1st chain. This will have created a ring.

• OR, if you would prefer, make a magic ring. If you are unsure how to do this, check out my blog post here, where I explain how to do this in detail.

• Once you have your ring, chain 1. Into the ring, make 12sc.

• To close the round, sl st into the 1st sc. Then, fasten off and cut your yarn.

• You can pull the tail end from the centre of your ring to close up the gap. Use your darning needle to sew in any tail ends.

Round 2:

• Attach your white yarn to any stitch.

• *Chain 4.

• Into the next stitch, make 3tr.

• Chain 4, and then slip stitch into the next stitch.* This is your first petal.

• Repeat the above steps around until you have six petals.

• Note: your final sl st will actually be into the 1st stitch you attached your yarn to.

• Then, fasten off, cut your yarn and sew in any ends using your darning needle!

And there you are! You now have your own crochet flowers!
