Flower Crochet Pattern | Large Crochet Flower Pattern

By Lauren on January 12, 2025

As of the January 2025 update, this large crochet flower pattern is about 10 years old now! People from all over the world have crocheted this pattern, and I’m glad you’re able to enjoy it, too.

This large crochet flower has 3 layers and is approximately 4.5 inches in diameter. As of February 2025, there is now a full video tutorial. You can find that here.

This flower is the perfect embellishment for hats, crochet tote bags, and so much more. Whipped up in half an hour or less, it’s a great last-minute gift or accessory for that new outfit.

Materials

J/10 Crochet Hook (The Tulip hooks are my favorite)
Worsted weight yarn (I used Hobby Lobby “I Love This Yarn!”)
Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Pattern Notes

This large flower crochet pattern is worked through both loops.
My finished flower measures about 4.5” in diameter (with 3 rounds).
If you want to make a smaller flower, you can stop after two rounds or use a smaller hook.
A video tutorial for the flower is available here.
If you would like to learn how to sew this flower onto a project, I’ve found this video very helpful!

Round 3: ch 3. Bring this chain behind the first petal and sl st from front to back into the ch 2 space between the petals. Do this behind each petal. Behind the last petal, sl st into the first ch 3 space you made.

You should have a ch 3 space behind each petal for a total of 6 ch 3 spaces.

Bobble for Center of Flower (Optional)

The bobble is shown above on the orange flower.

ch 3.

Round 1: 7 dc into the first st. Sl st to the top of the first dc. Ch 1. (7)

Round 2: sc into each st. Sl st to the top of the first sc. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing onto the flower. (7)

Flower Crochet Pattern Helpful Hints:

To keep the center bobble extra “bouncy,” leave the center tail several inches long even after weaving ends. Stuff this tail inside the bobble to keep it from flattening out over time.
Leave a long tail if you’d like to sew your flower directly onto a project. Unless I’m adding this flower to a blanket or a pillow, my preference is to cut the yarn, weave my ends, and attach the flower onto an alligator clip or pin.
