With this free endless flower crochet pattern, you can make a flower as big or small as you want. You could make it tiny enough to decorate a tea kettle (or even a tea cup) cosie, or you could make it expand until it was the size of a giant round blanket or throw rug. The possibilities are endless with this crochet pattern.
How this pattern started out was the crafter / crocheter Rebecca (over at Little Monkey Crochet) because she wanted to find a way to make a “giant flower” and this is what she came up with. The real interesting bit for this pattern is that the petals don’t just pile on top of each other (which can also be an interesting look), because between each round of them there’s a round of increases. Nice one, Rebecca! This free flower crochet pattern stays the same height when it’s layed down.
You will need: H (5mm) hook (unless you prefer a different size because you’re using larger / smaller yarn), any yarn (the picture at the top, as you can tell looking at it, uses worsted weight — that flower picture is one that’s 8 inches across.
Conceptual overview of the crochet project (rated “easy”):
You will start out by making the first round with double crochet and a slip stitch. Then you’ll make the first round of petals around this wheel. When you make your petals, you were ignoring another loop available there, and now you’re going to use that ignored loop: you work around Round 1 again (with another color, generally, to make it easier to tell the parts apart while working). Continue to add rounds to the wheel, then, when it’s big enough, fasten off and weave in the ends.
