Free Crochet Pattern: Chunky Spring Flower Bouquet

By Amy Yarbrough – 2 Comments

Crochet a lovely, chunky spring bouquet to brighten up your home in just a few minutes!

Chunky crochet projects are fun because they offer a lot of unique texture. I like nothing more than working up a squishy blanket or pillow with these yarns. Only what do you do when you only have a small amount to work with? I briefly thought of making some quick, chunky flowers but I just didn’t feel I could guarantee it would turn out right.

A few grimaces and doubtful tries later I had a surprisingly lovely, crocheted bouquet ready to be displayed for the coming springtime. I’m glad I gave it a go!

Want to give it a try? All you need is a small amount of chunky yarn, a crochet hook, some wooden dowels and hot glue. See below for pictures on how to make the flower!

Skill Level:

Finished Size: Flower (without dowel) measures 8” (20 cm) in circumference and 3 1/2” (9 cm) tall

Materials:
Super Bulky weight yarn (approximately 15 yards each of colors pink, yellow, and purple)
Crochet hook L (8.00 mm)
3 wooden dowels, (measuring 3/4” in diameter and 12” long)
Hot glue
24” of 3/4” wide satin ribbon

Gauge:
3 sc = 2’’
3 rows = 2’’
Gauge Swatch: 2’’w x 2’’h (5 cm x 5 cm) ch 4.
Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across: 3 sc
Row 2 – 3: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across: 3 sc
Finish off.

Finishing the Flower

Lay crocheted strip flat with wrong side of last row facing up. Hot glue dowel, about an inch in, to the end of the strip and begin rolling.

Wrap snuggly and hot glue every little bit until flower is finished.

Hold all three flowers together and wrap ribbon around the stems a few times before tying a bow. You can hot glue ribbon to secure it if you wish.
