As May brings the flowers to our hedgerows and gardens, this project is the perfect way to learn the art of crochet. Learn two of the most popular stitches - chain stitch and treble stitch - as you create a beautiful bouquet of flowers that can be sewn onto clothing or accessories, or turned into a brooch! We have used cream yarn in the illustration shown here, but you could use any wool colour of your choice!
If you’re new to crochet, you might find it helpful to read our beginner’s guide to crochet. It has step-by-step guides to the crochet stitches you’ll be using in this project, which you could practise before you begin - you'll be an expert in no time!
What you'll need
- 4mm crochet hook
- Cream or white yarn
