Spring is here! Well, almost (at least in The Netherlands). And what better way to welcome it than by crocheting some simple but cute spring flowers. Here are some flowers that I made, all based on free patters that I found on the internet or that I have improvised myself. I hope you find something you like!
Lets start with daffodils. Beautiful flowers, love them. There are a lot of pattern variations available, also free versions. The one you see in the image is made by me using this free pattern.
Collection of simple spring flowers that allow for endless variations. The ones with 4 petals I made using this pattern for crocheted flowers, which is really easy to do.
The flowers with 5 petals I improvised like this: to start I chained 4 and with a slip stitch in the first chain I made a circle.
For the first round I chained 1 and then single crocheted in the circle till I ended up with 10 stitches. With a slip stitch I joined the circle.
Making the petals: repeat the sequence between * *x5
*in 1 stitch do: dcx1, tcx3, dcx1; slc into next stitch*
Note: dc = double crochet ; tc = treble crochet; slc: slip stitch

Simple crocheted roses, very easy to make. Again, many patterns available, for making the two roses you see in the picture I used this pattern for making simple roses. Depending on what type of yarn you use and how many chains you use as start you will get a bigger or smaller rose. The secret is to chain multiple of 3 stitches.
I love this little flower :) The one in the picture is my own combination of colors using this picot flower tutorial.
For a touch of randomness the Mollie flowers are perfect. Combinations of colors are endless. The original pattern has 6 petals but I made only 5.
