Show Mum You Care with a Bouquet that Blooms Forever: 
Free Crochet Flower Pattern for Mother's Day!

Hello! Are you looking for a unique and heartfelt gift for your mum this Mother's Day? Ditch the wilting flowers and pick up your crochet hook! Mother's Day is on the 31st of March this year in the UK and this blog post features a free and easy crochet flower pattern, perfect for creating something beautiful and lasting that your mum or mother figure will cherish.

This easy crochet flower pattern is perfect from beginners onwards and can be used for many decorations. With just a magic loop and two basic stitches, you can quickly whip up a bouquet of blooming love for the most important woman in your life.

So, grab your yarn, crochet hook, and a cup of tea, and get ready to create something special for your mum this Mother's Day! I took some of my finished flowers, glued them to blank cards, added stems in black pen and gave them as cards. I even added buttons to the centres of some of the flowers.




This is a BEGINNER level crochet pattern, written in both UK & US terms


You will need

A small amount of yarn in any thickness you choose!

Appropriate size of crochet hook for the yarn you've chosen

Needle for sewing in ends


I used DMC Natura Just Cotton (100% cotton, 310m/100g, 4ply weight yarn) & 3mm hook.


Notes

You’ll need to know how to make a magic loop. I've made a YouTube tutorial if you’re unsure, go take a look!



UK instructions

ch - chain

dtr - double treble

ss - slip stitch


Begin with a magic loop, [ch3, 2dtr into loop, ch3, ss into loop] 5 times. Cut yarn. Pull the starting tail to tighten the magic loop. Weave in the ends on the back.


US instructions

ch - chain

tr - treble/triple crochet

ss - slip stitch


Begin with a magic loop, [ch3, 2tr into loop, ch3, ss into loop] 5 times. Cut yarn. Pull the starting tail to tighten the magic loop. Weave in the ends on the back.


Crochet Chart




The chart above will be a handy guide to visualise the placement of each stitch of the flower. This can make it easier to follow along, especially if you're new to crochet. Once you've completed a few flowers, the process will become automatic and you'll be whipping them up in no time - the muscle memory will kick in, and you'll be surprised at how quickly you can create a beautiful bouquet of crocheted flowers!




💡 Top tip! If you leave your ends long these can later be used to sew your finished flower to your project.


This pattern is completely free for you to enjoy and share with your fellow crochet enthusiasts.
