I wanted to make some tiny crochet flowers last week, and figured I could just add a petal to my four leaf clover pattern. Five petals were too bulky, however, and they looked crowded. I reworked the petal a little bit and came up with these cuties. Happy Spring and enjoy the pattern!
Tiny Crochet Flower Pattern
worsted weight yarn
size F/5 (3.75mm) crochet hook
tapestry needle for weaving ends
dc: double crochet
hdc: half double crochet

I’ve been trying to document my creative projects at least once a day using Instagram. It automatically posts my pictures to twitter, facebook, flickr and my rss feed. If only it could update the blog! Anyway, if you are on any of these platforms, stop by and say hello!
Thank you very much for sharing this delightful simple pattern. I will be getting started very soon with lots of red, white and blue!
thanks a lot for this gift !
Hi Julie… thanks so much for letting us share this pattern…the little flowers are sooo sweet! Hugs, Jill x
Hopefully these are perfect size for my baby booties if I use a sock yarn! thanks for posting! Sometimes I try and try to make it up as I go then give up and look at what ohers are doing and say “DOH!” Seems like it comes so easy for you to understand the art of crochet!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I used the flowers to make a peter pan collar :) http://nevenakrstic.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/crochet-peter-pan-necklace.html
