Crochet Retro Flowers

Crochet retro flowers bring a touch of nostalgia and whimsy to any project! These charming, timeless motifs add a pop of fun and color to your crochet creations. Whether you're embellishing a cozy blanket, a cute headband, or a stylish bag, these retro flowers never fail to make a statement. With their intricate petals and vibrant hues, they can transport you back to a simpler time while adding a modern twist to your handmade items. So, pick up your crochet hook and some colorful yarn, and let your creativity bloom with these delightful and playful crochet retro flowers!

Yarn and hook: sport yarn of your choice and colors (I love working with Phil Cotton #3 and Tango) and a 3 mm hook (UK11) (US 10/3). Note that you can use whatever yarn size/ weight (and relevant hook for that weight ) you like/have at hand. That will only influence the size of your flowers. Hence, smaller weights will yield tinier flowers, heavier weights will yield bigger flowers.

Stitches (American terminology): chain (ch), chain space (ch-sp), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), treble (tr).

Other: tapestry needle for weaving ends and scissors.

Pattern

Round 3: Insert color 2 in 1st stitch of the petal chain, and inside the ch-sp, sc1, hdc2,dc4, tr4, dc4, hdc2,sc1. Sc1 in next st., sl st into next ch-sp and repeat this pattern. When all 5 petals are filled, sc1 in last st and sl st into 1st petal (ch-sp) to end round. Cut yarn and weave ends.
