I used “cherry red” yarn for the petals; and “spring green” yarn for the stem and leaves, both from Red Heart brand. But you can use whatever color you like.

I also used a thinner yarn I made, by splitting apart the red yarn, to make the inner petals of my flower. You don’t have to do this, but I think using the thinner yarn just looks better, and that’s the best way to make sure the colors are a perfect match. If you prefer, use crochet thread instead for that part.

I also used 30 gauge craft wire to support the stem and leaves.

Crochet Flower Patterns

Super simple beginner friendly crocheted flower patterns.  I used craft wire inside all my flower to make them more realistic and able to stand up. A free video tutorial for each of these flowers is coming soon on my Youtube channel. Will update when video is available.

First is the daisy flower. I used 3 colors of Red Heart yarn for my daisies; yellow for the middle of the flower, white for the petals, and spring green for the stem and leaves. Find my daisy flower pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/daisy-flower-11

Next is the pansy flower. I used 4 colors of Red Heart yarn for my daisies; yellow for the middle of the flower, dark purple for the base of the petals, hot pink for the tops of the petals, magenta for the back petals, and spring green for the stem and leaves. You can use pretty much any color as long as you use a shade of yellow for the middle, a dark color, like black or violet for the base of the petals, and a shade of green for the leaves and stem. Find my pansy flower pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pansy-flower-5

And finally an amigurumi fire flower inspired by the Mario games. I used 5 colors of Red Heart yarn for my fire flower; white for the face at the middle of the flower, yellow for the base of the petals, red for the tops of the petals, black for the eyes, and spring green for the stem and leaves.

Crochet Long Stem Rose Bouquet Video Tutorial and Pattern

The new tutorial is finally here! In which I show you how to crochet a rose with a long stem, just in time for Valentine's Day! In Part 1, I show you how to complete the petals. And in Part 2 I show you how to make the leaves and stem. If you want to purchase the written pattern, you can find it in my Ravelry store here. Buy it now! Find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.

You can use pretty much any yarn for this project, but bear in mind that the rose will be bigger using a thicker yarn, and smaller using a thinner yarn. I used “Cherry Red” and “Hunter Green from Red Heart Super Saver for the flower I made in the video tutorial, but you can use any color yarn you choose.

 I also used a size E hook but again, using a larger hook will result in a larger, lacier flower, while a smaller hook will create a smaller flower.

I made my roses about 24 inches long (4 inch long petals, 20 inch long stem), but if you prefer a shorter bouquet you can make the stems shorter.

Crochet Flower Skirt Tutorial and Pattern

Crochet Flower Petal Skirt Pattern is now available in my Ravelry store! Made to fit my Realistic Body Crochet Doll, but easy to customize to any size. Buy it now!

You can find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.

 You’ll need at least 3 main colors: the main flower color, the trim, and the leaves. You could get away with using the same color for the trim and the petals, but it’ll be tougher to distinguish between each petal if you do. So if you want it all in one color, try using a slightly darker shade for the trim.
 Another thing to note is the weight of the yarn you’re using. You could use pretty much any yarn, but a thinner yarn will produce a lighter petal that won’t add much bulk to the doll; and a thicker yarn will produce a heavier, bulky petal. Choose your yarn based on the look you want for the skirt. 

For my project, I used “Orchid” for my main petal color, “Violet” for the trim, and “Spring Green” for the leaves, all from Red Heart Super Saver. I used a heavier yarn, for a big, bulky ball gown type skirt. But if you want a more loose, flowing skirt, use a lighter yarn.

The same goes for hook size. A larger hook will make a lighter, lacier petal and a smaller hook will make a heavier petal. I used a size E hook.
