Recommended Supplies
- About 6 yds; Any Medium Weight Yarn
- 5.5 mm Crochet Hook
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
Since you only need about 6 yards of yarn for each flower, this little project is perfect for using up every last scrap of yarn. Choosing bright or bold colors will help it stand out, but it looks beautiful in pastels too! So far, I haven’t found a yarn that didn’t work well for these easy crochet flowers. I used Patons Classic Wool Worsted scraps for the flowers you see in the pictures, and I just love how they turned out!
You can completely change the look of these flowers just by experimenting with different yarns. While medium-weight yarn is preferred, it also works with lightweight, bulky, and super-bulky weight yarns.

Easy Crochet Flower Pattern Notes
This flower is crocheted in a single round using a variety of stitch heights to shape the petals. You’ll notice the center of the ring will get crowded, but all you need to do is shift the stitches to make room for all of them.
To make a bigger flower: Use a bulky weight yarn and a 6.5 mm crochet hook
To make a smaller flower: Use a lightweight yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook.
You can experiment with different yarn weights and hook sizes to change the finished size of your butterfly, and there’s no need to make any adjustments to the pattern. This is the easiest way to crochet a bigger or smaller flower
