Are crochet flowers beginner friendly?
Some crochet flowers are beginner friendly and some are not.
It is a little more challenging to crochet round projects than it is to crochet flat or square ones. A brand new crocheter needs to start by learning a few basic skills first. This video tutorial will be a really good one for the first few things to learn, before trying this flower or others.
Once you’ve done those, you could attempt this flower, but it will be challenging. The good news for beginners, is that this one comes with a complete video tutorial. However, you may want to play the video at a slower speed, since I didn’t make it quite as slow as a beginner would need.
You can see the complete video tutorial below.
I have another crochet flower pattern that is even more beginner friendly that you can find here.
Where can I get this flower crochet pattern?
This crochet flower pattern is free right here in this post. Also, the video above goes through the instructions in full.
If you decide to use the free version, please bookmark this page and come back to it when you work on your project rather than trying to print or screenshot the page. Your time on this page helps me get paid for my work, so thank you!
I have not made a PDF of this pattern available. At some point in the future I might put together an ebook of multiple flower patterns.
