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.

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.
