Crochet Ruffled Flower Pattern

If you have some stashed yarns piling up in your craft room, you may want to make this crochet ruffled flower as a little gift to giveaway. Head down to the free crochet flower pattern section for the written pattern.

This is a quick and easy project that you can finish within an hour. You may use these crocheted flowers to make hair-tie, brooch, and other hair accessories, and even as embellishment for your purse, hat, bag, cushion, lampshade, clothes, hat, or as a decoration on a gift wrapping, etc. There are plenty of ideas on Pinterest, for a larger crochet project, I particularly love this idea of embellishing the beanie hat with a crochet flower.

It happens that I have some extra yarns from a little crochet sling bag project I made for my friend, so, I make these crocheted flowers into hair-ties for my friend and her 3 daughters. The hair-ties will be nice on them as they all have long and beautiful hair like their mom. I hope the girls won’t fight over the sling bag as I only managed to crochet one and use the rest of the yarn for the matching crochet flower hair-ties.

There are 2 versions of ruffled flowers in this pattern, a full blossom crochet ruffled flower and beaded crochet ruffled flower. If you happened to be a little short of yarn just before completing a full blossom crochet flower, you can always reduce and adjust the number of stitches in the last round of the pattern.

Beaded Crochet Ruffled Flower
Insert beads to the yarn
Follow R1 – R5 above.
R6 – ch4, * ch, tr on the chain loop, ch with 1 bead and slst on the top loop of the tr, ch, tr on the same loop, repeat * 10 times. Repeat 4 times to complete the 4 loops round, slst to the 4th ch at the beginning of the round.
You may do more tr to get more ruffle look on the flower.

Assembly
Sew a button at the center, keep the yarn don’t cut it yet.
Sew elastic hairband or other accessories to the back, tighten, knot, cut and hide away the yarn end.
Add some quick-drying glue to secure the hairband if you wish.

Note:
1. You may do more tr at the last round to get a more ruffle look on the flower. Or, reduce the number of tr in each loop just in case you are running out of yarn.
2. If you find that it is difficult to insert yarn through the hole of the bead, use a small dot of PVA craft glue (or mod podge) on the end of the yarn, and twist the end while the glue is drying to shape a pointy tip. Let it dry for a while as it will be harder later.

R1 – ch2, sc 8 on the second chain from hook, slst on the ch at the beginning of the round.

R2 – *ch2, hdc on next st, ch2, slst onto the same st, repeat * 8 times.

R3 – ch, *sc on next st of R1, ch2, repeat * 8 times, slst on the first ch of the round.
Bring the 8 nos. of 2-ch-loop to the back of the work.
If you are able to make the 2-ch loop at the back of the work directly, skip the next 2 pictures and go straight to R4.

This is the front side with loops now at the back.

This is how the back looks like after the loops are there.

R4 – ch, sc on chain loop, ch2, dc3, ch2, sc on the same loop, repeat the same on the next loop until you have done all the 8 loops.
Since the chain loops are at the back of the work, you will need to flip the R2 petals a little to work on the loop.

The look after completed R4, where you have 8 petals on both layers.

R5 – ch, *sc on next st of R3, ch 5, skip next R3 st, repeat * 4 times, slst to the first ch of the round.
Bring all the 4 chain loops to the back of the work.
Again, if you are able to do the sc and ch5 directly to the back of the work, skip the next picture.

The look after the loops are brought to the back.

R6 – ch4, * ch, tr on the chain loop, ch3 slst on the top loop of the tr, ch, tr on the same loop, repeat * 12 times.
Repeat 4 times to complete the 4 loops round, slst to the 4th ch at the beginning of the round.
You may customize this round to add or reduce the numbers of ruffle.

The look after completed the crochet work, fasten off the yarn and bring it to the center of the back.

Sew button at the center, keep the yarn don’t cut it yet.

Sew elastic hairband to the back, tighten, knot, cut and hide away the yarn end.
Add some quick-drying glue to secure the hairband if you wish.

This is another version of similar layered ruffle flower pattern, just add beads and reduce the numbers of ruffle at the last round of the crochet work (refer pattern above).
