Step-by-Step Crochet Small Pink Flower Instructions
Flower Center and Petals: Cream and Pink
- With cream yarn, begin with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Work 5 sc into the ring.
- Round 2: Change to pink yarn. Work 1 ss and 1 ch, then work 2 sc in the next stitch 5 times. Finish with 1 ss and 1 ch.
- Round 3: Repeat the following sequence 5 times: in the same stitch, work 1 sc, 1 ch, and 2 dc; in the next stitch, work 2 dc, 1 ch, and 1 sc.
Keep the stitches even as you form the petals. If the flower begins to look uneven, pause and check that the repeated sequence has been worked the same number of times around.
Leaf and Stem: Green
Make a foundation chain of 8 ch. Starting from the 4th stitch from the hook, work 2 unfinished dc and pull through all loops. Work 3 ch, 1 ss, and 6 ch. Starting from the 2nd stitch from the hook, work 6 ss, then 3 ch and 2 unfinished dc; pull through all loops. Finish with 3 ch, 1 ss, and 4 ss.
This leaf-and-stem section is the same as the one used for the yellow sunflower. It is not demonstrated in this flower’s video tutorial; the yellow sunflower video provides guidance for this section.
Assemble the Applique
Arrange the flower and green stem-and-leaf piece in the intended position. Use the darning needle or hot melt adhesive listed in the materials to secure the pieces. If using hot melt adhesive, handle it carefully and let it cool fully before attaching or using the finished decoration.
The crochet small pink flower is ready to use once the parts are secured. Try other colors or multicolored yarn to match the applique to a particular accessory or decoration project.
Tips for a Neat Finish
- Use the same hook size throughout the project: 2.0 mm.
- Refer to the video tutorial if you need to see how the stitches or color change are worked.
- Check the flower’s shape before securing the green section so you can position the stem and leaves as desired.
- Weave in yarn ends with the darning needle where needed for a tidy finish.
Conclusion
This crochet small pink flower is a quick, beginner-friendly applique made with a cream center, five pink petals, and a green stem and leaves. Follow the US-term instructions, use the video for extra guidance, and choose colors that suit your project.
