Free Crochet Flower Pattern.
Enjoy!

This free crochet flower pattern came about very recently. My Aunt and Uncle were over here visiting from England. I can't just sit and chat - I have to be doing something. So, this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.

You'll need chain stitch and single crochet, slip stitch and double crochet too.

For this crochet flower pattern I used a light worsted weight cotton yarn and size 4mm hook. You can just use a hook to suit the yarn you choose. It also depends how 'open' you want the flower to look. I wanted a more 'filled in' look. For a more lacy and delicate - use a finer yarn or thread.

It is all worked from the same side - no need to turn it over after each row. I just use the term 'turning chain' as it is widely recognized.
