Flowers are a great way of showing you care, but a crochet bouquet of flowers that you’ve made by hand is truly something special!

Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day or even a wedding, your friends and family will be amazed at your skills when you present your crochet bouquet of flowers. Or you could just make some for yourself as a way to brighten up your home (and your day).

You’ll find two different approaches to a crochet flower bouquet pattern free below. Our first pattern allows you to select from a range of different flowers to make and combine into a pretty posy that is perfect for holding or displaying in a vase.

Our second pattern is a completely self-contained crochet flower bouquet that is ideal for giving as a gift – it even comes with a crochet pot! You can use this link to jump straight to our potted crochet flower bouquet pattern

Free crochet flower bouquet pattern

Our beautiful crochet flower bouquet is made up of a selection of six simple flower motifs (plus two types of leaves), ranging from delightful dogwoods to fabulous forget-me-nots!

This pattern allows you to assemble your crochet flower bouquet in two different ways. The first is by pinning your flowers to a polystyrene semi-sphere with a handle to create a perfectly arranged holdable posy. The second is to simply create stems using pipe cleaners to make individual flowers that you can arrange in a vase.

Assembly

For individual flowers with stems

Wrap a pipe cleaner tightly with green yarn to form a firm stem. Using the tail of green yarn and a yarn needle, sew the underside of the flower to the top of the stem, keeping your stitches hidden.

Alternatively you could use craft glue to attach your flowers to the top of your stems. Then tie up the bundle of stems with twine.

For a holdable posy

Cover the polystyrene dome of your foam bouquet holder with the green felt and pin the flowers and leaves on top.

If you are making your own foam bouquet holder, bind several pipe cleaners with garden twine and secure to the underside of the dome to form a stem-like handle.
