I’ve got a great new flower pattern and tutorial for you! I’ve been brainstorming how to make a “giant flower” for a while, and I’m finally happy with what I’ve come up with. I’m loving this flower and am so exited about all of its potential uses.
What makes this flower “never-ending” is how it is built. Between each round of petals is a round of increases, so the petals don’t pile on top of each other. What that means is that rather than getting taller and bulkier, the flower stays the same height, and just gets wider. So, theoretically, you could keep adding rounds of petals and increases to make it the size of a football field, and it would still only be less than an inch tall, making it great as an addition to things like blankets and throw pillows. It’s not 1-dimensional like your typical appliqué; it has depth and interest, without the bulk.
And what’s really cool is that this flower works right into a granny square, so you can use it in an afghan or as a throw pillow cover. I’m telling you, the applications are as endless as your imagination. If you want to see how I turned this flower into a granny square, check out this blog post!
I have gotten so many emails, messages and comments about the pattern for the pillow shown in this photo. It is not my creation (someone used the Neverending Wildflower and turned it into a pillow), and unfortunately, the photo of it keeps getting linked to me. I do not have this pattern variation. I can, however, tell you that the stunning blanket pictured with it is Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys.

A NOTE ABOUT PRINTING: My patterns no longer show up when accessed via PrintFriendly.com. (This is out of my control; please see my FAQs for more info.) If you wish to print this pattern (for personal use only), you can copy & paste it into a text editing document, or purchase the inexpensive PDF (see pattern info, below).
The NeverEnding Wildflower Crochet Pattern
You can purchase an inexpensive, convenient, ad-free PDF of this pattern on Etsy!
Hook: H (5.00mm) or size appropriate for the yarn you choose Yarn: The yarn you choose doesn't matter, as long as your hook is a good match for it. I used an H hook and worsted weight yarn for my sample in the photos, which measures 8" across. Difficulty: Easy Gauge: Unimportant
Video Tutorial (sort of): If you have a hard time getting this pattern started, there is a video tutorial for my Wildflower Shoulder Bag that matches up with the first two rounds of petals in this pattern. Please note that after the 2nd round of petals, the video will no longer be applicable (but by then, you'll probably have the hang of it anyway). View tutorial here.
Notes:
This pattern is written in American Standard Terms.
Rounds will alternate between increase rounds and petals. Increase rounds will be called “round 1, 2, 3” etc, and petal rounds will be referred to as “1st round of petals, 2nd round of petals,” etc. Because ch petal round shares its space with the increase round below it, they are not counted as part of the pattern’s total rounds.
CH1 on the increase rounds does not count as a stitch.
Be mindful that the pattern alternates in calling for FLO (Front Loops Only) and BLO (Back Loops Only).
Each round of petals has 12 total petals. The first round of petals will cover 1 ST (of the previous round) per petal. The 2nd round of petals will cover 2 STS per petal, the 3rd round 3 STS, and so on. I'm giving you instructions up to 5 rounds of petals, but using this formula and a little imagination, you can make it even bigger.
The Pattern
Begin with a Magic Circle; CH1.
Round 1: 12 DC in MC. Join with a SL ST to first DC. (12)
1st Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. In same St, 2DC, CH2, SL ST. This is your first petal. (SL ST to next St. In same St, CH2, 2DC, CH2, SL ST to same St) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. (12 petals)
Round 2 (BLO - You’re now going to work around Round 1 again, this time working in the loop that you ignored during the first round of petals): SL ST to 1st back loop of Round 1. CH1. 2DC in same ST. 2 DC in each ST around. Join with a SL ST to first DC. (24)
2nd Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. DC in same ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST. (SL ST to next St, CH2, DC in same ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. (12 petals)
Round 3 (BLO): SL ST to 1st back loop of Round 2. CH1. 2DC in same ST, DC in next ST. (2DC in next ST, DC in next ST) around. Join with a SL ST to first DC. (36)
3rd Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. DC in same ST. 2TR in next ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST. (SL ST to next ST, CH2, DC in same ST. 2TR in next ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. (12 petals)
Round 4 (BLO): SL ST to 1st back loop of Round 3. CH1. 2DC in same ST, DC in each of the next 2 STS. (2DC in next ST, DC in each of the next 2 STS) around. Join with a SL ST to first DC. (48)
4th Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. DC in same ST. 2TR in next ST. 2 TR in next ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST. (SL ST to next ST, CH2, DC in same ST. 2TR in next ST. 2 TR in next ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. To complete flower, SL ST to 1st BLO of Round 4. (12 petals)
Round 5 (BLO): SL ST to 1st back loop of Round 4. CH1. 2DC in same ST, DC in each of the next 3 STS. (2DC in next ST, DC in each of the next 3 STS) around. Join with a SL ST to first DC. (60)
5th Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. DC in same ST. 2TR in each of the next 3 STS. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST. (SL ST to next ST, CH2, DC in same ST. 2TR in each of the next 3 STS. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. (12 petals)
Fasten off and weave in ends, or keep adding increase rounds and petal rounds to make it even bigger!

Heather BrownMay 7, 2015, 12:28 pm
I LOVE this pattern and instantly saw it as a textured, decorative rug for a small room that doesn’t get much traffic. Would it work?
RebeccaMay 7, 2015, 1:00 pm
It would! I would definitely keep it in a low traffic room, because the petals do have some height. I think it would be beautiful. 🙂
Lynn RoseburMay 7, 2015, 3:33 pm

has anyone made a bag out of it?
RebeccaMay 11, 2015, 7:42 pm
I would be interested to see it!
JenniferNovember 16, 2015, 10:15 pm
I want to keep going past the 5th round of petals. As the number of spaces grow for the petals should I just continue to add TRs & flank them by the ch2s & DCs?
Thanks!! I’ve made a small purse & now am just seeing how big I can make one with the yarn left in a skein. 🙂
RebeccaNovember 17, 2015, 4:31 pm
Yes, that’s correct! 🙂

Love the idea but can you please make a video so much easier to fallow. Don’t know how to read pattern. Thanks
RebeccaMay 12, 2015, 8:37 am
I have thought about doing one. I haven’t made a tutorial video for anything yet, so I’ve got to first figure out what I need to make it work. 🙂

RebeccaMay 21, 2015, 7:27 pm
Thank you for the kind words!
jennyannMay 20, 2015, 9:01 pm
I love this flower but as a beginner, I’m having difficulty figuring out which stitch to start DC in for the petals. Do i dc into both loops of the outer rim of the magic circle? Or just one loop? Can you help? !
I’ve already made round one and two twice, and frogged it both times 🙁
RebeccaMay 21, 2015, 7:26 pm
I’m sorry you’re having trouble! You’ll see in the instructions “FLO” and “BLO”, as in:
“1st Round of Petals (FLO):”
FLO means Front Loop Only, and BLO means Back Loop Only. So for the petal rounds, you’re working in the front loop only. I hope that helps!
jennyannMay 24, 2015, 1:32 pm
Yes!!! Thanks so much!!!! I adore this flower. I’m actually going to make a few Dishrags from this pattern, because fancy chores are the best chores! 🙂
Ruth CordinerMay 22, 2015, 5:35 am

This is by far the prettiest flower I’ve seen. The versatility makes it a keeper. I’m working on hats for little girls and needed a flower. This in a smaller version will work perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

Thank u. Absolutely beautiful. Ideas are flowing for uses. Colors will be joining design. Continue….
Anne GoodmanJune 11, 2015, 9:02 pm
Thank you for this lovely pattern, I’m already thinking how to use it. Can I ask you if it would make a floor rug?
RebeccaJune 13, 2015, 3:55 pm
It could, if you made it big enough. I wouldn’t put it in a high-traffic area, as the petals aren’t flat and it might become a tripping hazard. 🙂
Lover of flowers this is awesome thanks so much for sharing with me

How do I copy have one give to me 3 weeks ago thanks
RebeccaJune 13, 2015, 3:58 pm
I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. If you want to print the pattern, you can use the “print” button located just above where the written-out pattern begins on this page, or you can purchase an ad-free PDF for $1 on Etsy:
I have been looking for a flower pattern such as this to use as an applique to put on on fancy crochet legwarmers that I plan on making. Want to design my own pattern. This will be just the perfect flower design.

Jenny WayJune 23, 2015, 3:25 am
i have just joined this group and I am looking through all the thing that people have put on and I came across your beautiful flower. I make bobble blankets on a frame and these flowers would look stunning on them. I am only a learner I can do a granny square and make a rose of a fashion but would love to have a go at your flower as it has the wow factor. Fingers crossed lol Thankyou x
Laila DaudaniJune 25, 2015, 8:09 am
Do you have utube video of this pattern,it is my personal choice to follow the pattern.thanks for beautiful flower
RebeccaJuly 5, 2015, 8:04 am
Not at this time.
bettyJune 25, 2015, 4:34 pm
please have your patterns so we can print them off. right now there are 66 comments and I sure do not want those so to heck with it. just skip this pattern.
RebeccaJune 25, 2015, 4:43 pm
Feel free to skip this pattern. It is a completely free service, after all.
For those who wish to print, I have provided multiple options.
1) Use the “Print” button located just above where the pattern begins. From there, if you follow the directions, you can delete everything you don’t want (including comments).
2) Purchase an ad-free, convenient PDF using the link just below the pattern title (where the pattern begins).
3) Good ol’ copy-and-paste.
Apart from not allowing comments on my blog posts at all, I’m not sure what more I could’ve done.
KarenJanuary 5, 2016, 12:00 pm
When you hit the print button, instead of hitting “print all”, click on the button that allows you to select which pages to print. Then you can select the range of pages you want to print, omitting the pages with comments.
Helen HayesJune 26, 2015, 11:00 pm
I love this pattern ! I do the 1st 5 rounds then stop increasing & continue on to make the cutest hats. Thank you for this awesome pattern!!!!!
lisa kJune 28, 2015, 7:38 pm
Beautiful flower. Thank you for sharing the pattern.
SandyJune 29, 2015, 1:31 pm
i am so confused on the location of the rounds and pedal rounds. I can’t even ask a question.
The second round goes in the unused loop of the first round.
where does the pedal round go?
RebeccaJuly 5, 2015, 8:03 am
This video might help. It’s a different pattern but it is the same as this, up to the 2nd round of petals.
Peggy you can go to the library and print out the pattern if you don’t have a printer. I
HeleenJune 30, 2015, 4:45 pm
Lovely! Thank you for sharing your patterns!
Chris MoJuly 1, 2015, 11:26 am
Having problems wih redundant fabric (as the flower expands the flower buckles and is increasingly hard to force flat). New to crochet and hoped you might have suggestions – ?
RebeccaJuly 5, 2015, 8:00 am
Try relaxing your tension on the increase rounds. Some people’s 1st round of petals do tend to do that, though. A nice-sized button in the center usually cures it, or you can take some fabric glue and force that first round down.
LindaJuly 1, 2015, 12:55 pm
Thank you so very much for being generous and sharing the pattern for this never ending flower. I have had an idea like this for my bathroom rug but I wanted it washable. I will be making a few of these for different areas and I know my a couple of friends who will be asking for one, lol. Your idea of teaching us slowly over a few sessions is wonderful and unique to me. GREAT idea.
I am very happy to have found you.
RosettaJuly 2, 2015, 11:33 pm
This is the perfect flower for a hat I made! The yarn I ordered for the wildflower bag hasn’t come yet so I’m making this while I wait. Thank you for your wonderful patterns
AnnJuly 3, 2015, 10:15 pm
Very pretty. I have been looking for a flower like this. Thank you.
Jeanie EdwardsJuly 3, 2015, 10:40 pm
Rebecca,
Thank you for sharing this.
I’m still having a bit of an issue with this – all my issue, not yours.
Have you ever thought of doing a video to show us how this is done?
Personally, I would find it very helpful. Just something to consider.
Thanks you,
Jeanie.
RebeccaJuly 5, 2015, 7:59 am
A video will come eventually. Until then, however, I do have one that might at least help you get started. The first two rounds of petals in this tutorial video are exactly the same pattern. Please note that after the 2nd round of petals, the video will no longer match up.
What a lovely idea so glad I have found you and talented. x
Betty CochraneJuly 9, 2015, 7:09 am
I made this into a pillow. I just made my own “pillow back” to make a pillow.
Do you use any photos of finished products made with your pattern? I am disabled and crocheting is my favorite pastime. Thank you so much for the pattern. I am going to try making it in cotton, too. BJ
CandyJuly 12, 2015, 8:40 pm

Love this Never ending wildflower, am showing the “other Granny’s” at our get together on a Wed how to do it. We are planning a blanket for our fete, so will be using your granny square. It will be interesting to see the combinations of colour.
Thank you so very much for this pattern.

ZaraJuly 20, 2015, 4:27 pm
I love this pattern, but I’m still new to crocheting, could you possibly make a YouTube video tutorial? 🙂
RebeccaJuly 27, 2015, 10:18 am
It’s on the to-do list! 🙂 In the meantime, I do have a video that might help get you started. It’s for the Wildflower Shoulder Bag, but the squares for the bag begin the same way this pattern does. It will get you through the first 2 rounds of petals.
I love this flower! I used the square pattern as part of a baby afghan and I’m about to whip up a flower to accent a baby sun hat. Noticed a typo, though. Where it says “Hook:” you put “H (5.50mm)”, and H is 5.00mm, I is 5.50mm. Thank you so much for this pattern. Love it and the whole blog. 🙂
RebeccaAugust 17, 2015, 9:39 am
I sure did! Thank you for spotting that!

Thank you very much for the lovely patterns you have produced, I have done the wildflower bag, still work in progress. I’m fairly new to crochet, how do I send my piccys of finished projects
RebeccaSeptember 1, 2015, 1:26 pm
You can post them on my Facebook page, Little Monkeys Crochet. I’d love to see them 🙂

Have you tried a pointed petal version? Do you think it would work?
RebeccaSeptember 1, 2015, 1:25 pm
I’m actually planning to release a pointed petal version this fall 🙂
JulieSeptember 5, 2015, 6:36 am
this is an amazing pattern. I am a novice crocheter but carefully following your concise and well written pattern, I was able to duplicate it beautifully. I love the flowerbag pattern so might continue along and attempt to make it.
Hello there! love the flowers very easy for us beginners. Thank you
Cathie CribbOctober 6, 2015, 3:59 pm

OH….MY….GAWD!!! This is my new favorite flower pattern. I love that it’s already “put together”, no sewing a spiral together. I love it!!! THANK YOU!!!
BarbDecember 10, 2015, 9:50 pm
Thank you for your talent and sharing this beautiful ‘never ending wildflower’ pattern. This pattern is so enjoyable and with each layer of petals, becomes more amazing!
JoAnnaDecember 25, 2015, 1:43 pm
I love this pattern! I can use this for so many neat projects; from hats, scarfs, to pillows and blankets. I usually knit, but this will get my crochet taste buds going!! thank you for this great pattern!
I love this pattern but I do have a question. Would it be possible to use a sport weight yarn for a lighter lacier look and make it baby Afghan size? Or maybe size it for a prayer shawl?
RebeccaDecember 30, 2015, 9:54 am
Yes, you can use any yarn and appropriately-sized hook 🙂
Doris waltonDecember 25, 2015, 8:25 pm
I’ve been looking for Xmas tree patterns, are there any available? I had crochet a table cloth and my friend cut and surged it. It looks very nice after I added a boarder but I would like to get some more patterns.

I would check Ravelry.com! 🙂
Glenda MooreDecember 27, 2015, 11:51 am
Thank you for the pretty pattern. I love to crochet flowers. My favorite is with thread. I’m excited to try this!
Heidrun BernittDecember 30, 2015, 2:16 pm
I love your patterns allthough I sometimes need some translation. But as your patterns are so wonderful it doesn’t really matter.
DonnaDecember 31, 2015, 5:30 pm

Lovely pattern.
JenJanuary 11, 2016, 9:55 am
I can’t wait to start this project! Beautiful flowers with so much potential.
SandyJanuary 11, 2016, 10:05 am
I love this particular flower! There are so many different flowers to crochet, but this one is great because you can make it any size and it will look great. thanks, Rebecca!
Debra KennedyJanuary 11, 2016, 10:06 am
A really versatile pattern – I am imagining many uses for it!
Arlene SchroederJanuary 11, 2016, 11:21 am
This is the pattern that attracted me to Little Monkeys (besides the name, of course) Those little monkeys are so-o-o-o adorable. I like making things that look a lot more difficult than they are. This just fit the bill. I’m working on the Wildflower Shoulder Bag in off while & country blue. It’s turning out to be really cute. Have had raves about it when working on it in public places. I think the strap will be braided crocheted cords in the white & blue. Thanks for the pattern. Easy to read, easy to follow instructions.
Connie GJanuary 11, 2016, 1:18 pm
This is absolutely gorgeous. <3
Heather NavarroJanuary 11, 2016, 5:23 pm
What a lovely flower! I love making flowers, they are one of my favorite things to make next to purses and tote bags.
Tonia DeakinJanuary 12, 2016, 3:55 am
I love this flower!! Your instruction are Great!
Lisa AJanuary 12, 2016, 2:00 pm

E LopezJanuary 14, 2016, 3:54 pm
Thank you for this pattern. I can apply this on so many items.
CaraspaceJanuary 16, 2016, 7:38 pm
This is so pretty!
K-SquaredJanuary 18, 2016, 4:21 pm
The power of love is always found in items that are made by hand – may they be a decoration or edible! When I was younger, my family had to do this kind of thing just to keep up with the bills! It happens, now, after injuries resulting from an accident that I have to find my own way to do things for fundraisers for items needed in the home! These are just wonderful for the holidays!
Carol FairhurstJanuary 21, 2016, 4:36 pm
Thank you for this pattern, I have been looking for a nice flower pattern that lays flat and tidy. I want to tell you also that I have made a couple of hats from your hat patterns, LOVE THEM. You are so talented, thank you.
camisah abdul karimJanuary 22, 2016, 5:28 am

Mary WallaceJanuary 23, 2016, 4:33 pm
Just made the flower and the video was so helpful. Thanks.
Erika vannFebruary 2, 2016, 7:25 pm
Hello! I love this, and I was thinking of using chunky thread and making a rug? Do you think it would work?
RebeccaFebruary 3, 2016, 7:46 am
This pattern will work for any size yarn/thread and appropriately-sized hook. 🙂
EnidNovember 30, 2017, 3:20 pm
Hi Erika, I’ve made a few rugs using double knit wool and 5mm hook. This was perfect for what I wanted. I think chunky wool would make much bigger/thicker flowers.
I made different sized flowers (4, 5 or 6 rows of petals) and +- 3 different colours per rug.
I used a plastic non slip mesh as a backing – which makes te whole rug a bit sturdier too.
Pam RobertsonFebruary 4, 2016, 12:18 pm
This is beautiful! I can’t wait to start. Thank you!
matierFebruary 24, 2016, 6:18 am
obrigada por compartilhar suas ideias.
TheresaFebruary 26, 2016, 9:58 am
I can vision making this with some jute and then having it for a rug. Love it!
Bunzie WiningerMarch 2, 2016, 9:00 am
Rebecca-I’m so happy to have found your site! I’m excited to explore it more. I’ve began the Wildflower Bag and am loving it! It is so obvious that the Lord has blessed you with amazing talent and I’m very thankful you are willing to share it!!!
Looking forward to see what’s next! May the Lord bless you and your precious family!

Caroline MårtenssonMarch 28, 2016, 5:37 pm
Hey! Really adore your flower, gonna make loads of them to cover my closet door ❤ A question: At the “2nd Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. DC in same ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST. (SL ST to next St, CH2, DC in same ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. (12 petals)” isn’t it suppose to become 24 petals? Or what am I doing wrong. Again love your flower ❤
Caroline MårtenssonMarch 28, 2016, 5:50 pm
Haha just looked at the video and figured it out, thanks yet again for an absolutely gorgeous flower ❤?
leonaApril 6, 2016, 8:54 pm
Hi, your wildflower design is beautiful. I’m looking through your site for the pattern for the pictured cushion and afghan done in matching shades of green/ teal, and beige/OR grey with what looks like a little sparkly button in the center of the flower on the cushion. They are exquisite! Can you please steer me to where those patterns are?
Toni WillisApril 12, 2016, 2:04 pm
Beautiful design!!! So easy to follow instructions 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing!
Terra KuhnApril 18, 2016, 7:39 pm
I absolutely love this pattern!! So easy, so fun! Thanks so much!
Jessica catlinApril 19, 2016, 9:50 am
What does 2tr mean
RebeccaApril 27, 2016, 9:05 am
TR = Triple/Treble Crochet.
KaraApril 19, 2016, 9:56 pm
I absolutely love this! Do you have the afghan pattern? I want my mother to make them both! They are beautiful….thank you!
where can i get the pattern for both the pillow and throw ?
RebeccaMay 15, 2016, 8:11 am
If you’re referring to the gray and teal version, it’s not mine. I do not have a pattern to turn the flower into a throw and I’m not sure who is responsible for the variation. The blanket in that photo is Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys (you can find it on Ravelry).
Melissa PhelpsMay 14, 2016, 1:22 am
Thank you for this pattern, I can wait to make it.
One question: what yarn did you use on the sample flower that is on the couch pillow? It looks like it is variegated from dark grey to an aqua to a light grey/natural color. I LOVE that color scheme and would love to try that yarn out also. Thanks again for sharing your creative genius with us.
RebeccaMay 15, 2016, 8:12 am
That sample is not mine, it just keeps getting linked to me. I do not have a pattern to turn the flower into a pillow and I’m not sure who is responsible for the variation. The blanket in that photo is Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys (you can find it on Ravelry).
PeggyMay 23, 2016, 3:50 am
What a beautiful bag. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. This will be my first bag, and your tutorial is what gives me the confidence that I can do it on my own.
I wonder if you would you mind sharing a picture of your bag with your leather strap attached? I think that’s the way I will go but it would help to see what it looks like.
Again, realllly appreciate your hard work here in sharing via this tutorial!
Hi Rebecca,
I came across this stunning never-ending flower of yours this morning and I instantly fell in love!! Thank you!
I really love your website and will definitely follow you on it. 🙂 I am an absolute beginner crocheter, and have just gone into a tiny business with 2 friends of mine, selling mostly South African natural, hand-dyed and organic yarns, & stock a variety of knitting/crochet accessories. We are in Johannesburg, South Africa, and are all passionate about anything to do with wool/yarn.
I do not wish to do anything illegal or offensive, and hope you will not be annoyed that I have posted a pic of your magnificent flower on our Facebook page, called The Yarn Tree. I am simply to trying to attract people’s attention & invite them to our studio,. Should we get a good enough response, we would love to hold a morning workshop in our studio, and crochet this flower together as a group.
Please could you let me know if this would be a problem for you Rebecca?
When I posted the flower pic on Facebook, I have mentioned your website.
I hope what i have done is the “correct ” protocol and we haven’t offended you in any way, as that is not our intention.
Thanks very much and we look forward to seeing more of your fab patterns and ideas.
Kind regards
Gill, from The Yarn Tree, Johannesburg
RebeccaJune 11, 2016, 12:20 pm
Hi Gill,
You’re welcome to use my pattern in your workshops as long as you either (1) give the guests the link to the pattern and have them print off their own copy to bring, or (2) purchase enough ad-free PDFs for everyone in the group. Thanks! 🙂
I love this pattern and my plan is to make the flower so large my grand daughter can use as a throw…I am really confused on how to increase the pattern….help
RebeccaJune 11, 2016, 12:19 pm
Have you started the pattern yet? My guess is that by the time you get through my instructions, you’ll understand what you’re doing and be able to add rounds 🙂
Elaine loonamJune 26, 2016, 3:09 pm
I love the never ending patterns. I’ve tried them all and different variation of colors. I would like to make a big flower, 9 or 10 petals, but I keep messing up the count for the first row of the square. I know there must be a formula for the number of hdc and sc but I can’t figure it out. Can you help me?
Doreen PattonJune 26, 2016, 4:46 pm
Love this pattern. On my 14th petal row and want to turn it into a baby blanket, how do I make it into a square at this size. Can anyone help? Thanks
Hi! These are my favourite flower to crochet, thank you for this fabulous tutorial! I used them in a blog post ;
makemakeblog.com/bs-rainbow-jumper-1
Daphne ThompsonJuly 5, 2016, 8:31 pm
Just finished crocheting the flower and loving it’s style. Thank you for sharing the pattern. It is easy to follow your instructions and I appreciate the time you spent developing the design. It’s a keeper!
renaAugust 17, 2016, 2:27 pm
Rebecca,
i have been crocheting for 66 years ,knew i had seen a pattern like your wildflower. it`s called pretty petals potholder from the complete book of crochet, the spool cotton company 1946.i got it from http://www.angelfire.com/folk/celtwich/prettypetals.htm. thanks for your pretty work. rena
I love this pattern!! I have been looking for decorative pillows but they are so expensive! So being able to make one that is so cute! I am totally doing it 🙂
Jenn CostaSeptember 18, 2016, 9:17 pm
Do you have a pattern for the blanket as well?
Jenn CostaSeptember 18, 2016, 11:55 pm
Sorry just wanted to know if there is a pattern for the blAnket as welll.
RebeccaSeptember 19, 2016, 1:32 pm
Are you referring to the aqua and gray blanket pictured with the wildflower pillow in the photo that’s going around? If you look up in the blog post, I addressed that and provided a link. It’s not my pattern. 🙂
StephanieSeptember 23, 2016, 1:25 pm
Hi, I make lapghans for a local nursing home. I’ve been looking for a flower to attach to the corner, you know just a little something for the ladies Your flower looks perfect 🙂
Thank you for sharing
SandraOctober 10, 2016, 1:34 pm
OMG This is so beautiful. I’m so happy with how it turned out. I’m using it in a large collection of dreamcatchers over my bed. I added another row of double crochet on the back loops to give me something to attach to the hoop with. The hoop is smaller than the flower (falls at the base of the last row of petals ) so the hoop itself is not visible. The flower stands up a bit and looks like it is floating on the wall. I hope that is okay with you. It’s just for my personal use. Thank you for sharing this.
I love this wildflower! Thank you so much for the pattern! I’ll be using it on gifts for the holidays <3
Deborah IwanskiNovember 15, 2016, 7:41 pm
Thank you….it is a beautiful flower!!
LindaFebruary 27, 2017, 9:51 am
Thank you for sharing your pattern, I am looking forward to start with it.
Meme SmithMarch 7, 2017, 7:37 pm
Thank you for a wonderful site and congrats for the birth of your 3rd little monkey. I had three myself and all are Mothers themselves. One I call my little monkey although not so little as he’s 13 now. Enjoy their young years as they go by so quick. M
Sara DuffyMarch 16, 2017, 10:14 pm
I am confused on where 2nd round of petals start, on previous petal round or on underlying round?
Thank you
Sara DuffyMarch 16, 2017, 11:00 pm
I found your video for purse. Now i understand.
Tx
RebeccaMarch 17, 2017, 9:53 am
So glad you were able to figure it out! 🙂
CourtneyMarch 17, 2017, 5:41 pm
This is so stunning! I am new to crochet and was wondering if you had a video tutorial? Also can you please tell me the yarn and what colors you used for your pillow?
Thanks so much!
RebeccaMarch 17, 2017, 9:22 pm
I linked a partial video tutorial up in the pattern notes section, you can find it there. Also, the pillow is not mine; if you read the text next to the photo, you’ll see my explanation. 🙂
MaryMarch 21, 2017, 11:01 pm
This Wildflower and the Zinnia are beautiful!! I am amazed at how you were able to create these. I do good just reading a pattern and following along. You are truly talented. I am beginning the the wildflower and I want to do the zinnia next.
Samantha SmithwickMarch 23, 2017, 12:36 pm
The creator for the featured Wildflower pillow and Sophie blanket is [name removed by Admin] from the FB group “Offical CCC Social Group” and it is doubtful you’d get a straight answer on any details of her work. She did say in a previous 2015 post that her yarn came from Australia – Cleckheaton 8ply and that to square it off it took some tweaking with trebles to get it right. To my knowledge she has yet to post her work in Ravelry. I asked in that 2015 post…no reply.
RebeccaMarch 23, 2017, 6:17 pm
Thank you Samantha! Finally, an answer to a years-long mystery 🙂 I removed her name from your post only because it sounds like she’s chosen not to share the info, which I totally respect, and I don’t want to send a ton of people her way. But it is SO nice finally having an answer!
Leanne KassisJune 12, 2017, 9:48 pm
I’m sorry you feel that way Samantha, I thought I tried to be very helpful. Is there anything else I could do? I am not sure how to post on Ravelry, sorry!
Norma ColeMarch 24, 2017, 7:30 pm
Thank you! I love this pattern for it is easy to follow! It is beautiful!
This is a great pattern. You have some really interesting patterns on your site.
KITTYMarch 29, 2017, 11:29 pm
I just Love this !No bulk at All.I will. Be using this in Irish crochet.Thankyou
VirginiaApril 16, 2017, 12:14 pm
I love this flower, thanks so much for the pattern! I want to make a pillow with this flower. However, I’m confused about how to add the granny square after I have made the flower larger. I can make the back of the pillow but adding the granny square on to a larger flower is a puzzle for me. Can you please help? ?
It will show you how I added it to a basic square. 🙂
TeresaApril 25, 2017, 4:30 pm
It would be very helpful for people like me to be able to just click on a ‘Print” button to get a copy of your patterns as I struggle with trying to get a PDF to download or whatever on my system.
Rachel JohnsonMay 3, 2017, 10:34 am
Hello Rebecca, thank you for sharing this ingenious flower. I have been crocheting flowers for 3 years. In fact, it is the reason I learnt how to crochet, as I wanted to make flowers to decorate the hats I was wearing for alopecia. With your inspired pattern, I can make much bigger flowers for my hats without them becoming bulked up, like a lot of other crochet flowers do when I aim for a larger diameter.
I am thinking of using your pattern to crochet a beanie by stopping increasing at around row 7 (depending on thickness of yarn and size of hook) and then continuing for as many identical rows as needed for the right beanie length. I imagine it might need something (a bobble or compact flower?) on the top, otherwise it could have a caved in look there from the flatness of round one. Have you ever tried this? If so, did it work out well?
Congratulations on your latest arrival and thanks again. Rachel in rainy England
RebeccaMay 10, 2017, 8:20 pm
I haven’t tried it but someone else did and posted it on this Facebook thread:
Hi, I was able to use Print-friendly to turn your Never Ending flower into a pdf file. So the problem has been sorted for you. Thank you for being so generous with your talent.
Joce
Bonnie stullJune 7, 2017, 10:49 am
Hi, I was so happy to find your pillow. Do you have a pattern for the back side?
RebeccaJune 7, 2017, 7:59 pm
What pillow are you referring to?
TammyJune 8, 2017, 2:58 pm
I just finished with ur pattern, I kept going & made a 40″ ( diameter ) rug! I love it. Thank you
HelenJune 9, 2017, 2:17 am
Saw finished product this morning by a lady on Facebook- how beautiful is this! How talented are you! Thank you for not only providing a pattern but also tutorial.
Thank you xx
Bless you and your little monkeys xxx
Leanne KassisJune 12, 2017, 9:43 pm
Hi Rebecca,
The cushion in the above photo is mine. I created it from your pattern…..thank you so much. And yes the throw on the chair is Dedri’s.
Kind Regards,
Leanne Kassis.
Leanne KassisJune 12, 2017, 9:58 pm
I’m so sorry Rebecca, I have only just found all the comments! I didn’t realise it was going to cause such a problem.
Leanne.
RebeccaJune 13, 2017, 8:07 pm
NO worries Leanne! I’m so happy to connect with you. Your photo has caused quite a stir in the crochet world! Rightfully so, it is absolutely stunning work. 🙂
LeanneJune 13, 2017, 11:22 pm
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the generosity of your beautiful free pattern!
Barb RichardsJuly 13, 2017, 4:31 pm
Well, I’ve tried again to download the Never Ending Wildflower Pillow pattern, and all it comes up with is downloading the PDF to DOC business. Even though I’ve done that, I can’t see where to download the pattern. This is ridiculous.
RebeccaJuly 14, 2017, 8:35 pm
You are clicking on an ad. The PDF for this pattern is not free to download. The blog version is free, and the PDF is available in my pattern store as stated in the pattern.
Connie HukvariAugust 5, 2017, 3:04 pm
Thanks so much for the lovely flower design…I added it to the sunhat I just finished.
Surekha DatyeAugust 11, 2017, 9:08 am
Thank you for sharing with us this wildfire flower pattern. I started to crochet just a couple of months back and managed to make it and also added an extra row. Now I have to find a way to use it….
This is such a beautiful pattern. Love making them
MeliaSeptember 20, 2017, 1:26 pm
Hi Rebecca
Thank you so much for this lovely flower pattern. It is beautiful and I plan to use this with various projects including pillows. Hope you and your babies are doing well.
elOctober 13, 2017, 8:53 pm
Love this pattern, but there is no way that I can print it. It’s impossible to copy and paste it into a word document. Need a printable pattern, so I can have for later on when I’m ready to use it. Would have to write it out for use. Thank you.
Hi EL,
I just tried copying and pasting the pattern and it worked. I selected the text and then used the key shortcut Ctrl v, which pasted it into the Word document. Hope this helps and it works for you.
RachelOctober 14, 2017, 10:18 am
Forgot to say that after selecting the text I right clicked on it and then left clicked on copy. Then did Ctrl v. Apologies if I’m telling you what you already know.
BevOctober 19, 2017, 12:34 am
I just love this. Have made one of these and a couple of the zinnia. Now I’m doing my own variation to make a never ending sunflower. It’s such a fun pattern when done
CYNDY MUDGEOctober 21, 2017, 3:08 pm
lOVE THIS PATTERN AND AS SOON AS I GET MY OWN PLACE I WILL START BACK ON THE HOOK..
Dulcie-Anne TimminsNovember 3, 2017, 3:19 am
I’ve searched high and low for a pattern that is FOLLOWABLE (totally a word) which grows to any size and looks awesome. The Zinnia and Wildflower patterns are beautiful. Thank you.
LeezaNovember 17, 2017, 8:34 pm
I would like to make this flower into a pillow…for each row I should add how many tc per petal….and for each increase dc row how should I do the the increase for rows up to 10?
RebeccaNovember 19, 2017, 7:52 pm
The increase is just a standard increase. As far as the petals, I do all remaining petals exactly the same as I did on the last listed round.
EnidNovember 30, 2017, 3:05 pm
Hi Rebecca,
I am very excited to show you one of the rugs I’ve made with your wildflower pattern. Thank you so much for the pattern!
How can I share a photo of the rug with you?
Such a BEAUTIFUL pillow. I hope I can follow. I’m going to start today. Love it so much. Thank you.
Carol Ann ThompsonJanuary 24, 2018, 10:36 am
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern. I may be late to the party, but I am excited about the possibilities and I am anxious to get started. Just a side note, my birthday is December 28! Please, don’t wrap your son’s birthday presents in Christmas paper. LOL. Thanks again.
RebeccaFebruary 9, 2018, 3:02 pm
Haha! He got is very own birthday wrapping paper, don’t worry! <3
KerryJanuary 29, 2018, 4:19 am
How do i make it bigger and to put it on a granny square I want to make a cushion out if it please help
KerryJanuary 29, 2018, 5:03 am
Not sure how do I make the flower bigger and to put it on a granny square
I love this pattern. Will make into a small rug with a yellow center and white petals, daisy like and back with terricloth for a bathroom. I also do bags as well and it will be a beautiful embellishment for a spring/summer bag. Thanks so much.
Debbie YeagerFebruary 11, 2018, 9:27 pm

CandiceFebruary 23, 2018, 9:10 am
Just wondering where ti find pattern to complete square i have the flower just not sure where to go from there. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for sharing your free patterns with us . Us Crocheters would be very lost without you generous Ladies . I am fairly new at Crochet and these video patterns are so helpful. Again thank you . Luv and. Blessings , Gina. Quarles
JenApril 2, 2018, 8:14 pm
Hello, I’ve done 11 rows of petals, how do I make it square from here?? Thank you!
I found the best pricing and shipping from a place called ReinaStores.com. I should be receiving them next week. 🙂
Susan JansenApril 9, 2018, 8:12 pm
I would love to get the pattern for my granddaughter as she is in my daughter’s wedding and would love to try and make this. I am a beginner
Kim TillerApril 13, 2018, 11:00 pm
I fell in love with this design but thought it beyond my ability even though I’ve crocheted for years, but then I looked at the pattern!! I’m so excited that something do beautiful is so easy to make! Can’t wait to try it out 😊
Marita AguirreMay 24, 2018, 7:57 pm
Thank you for so beautiful patterns.
Joye WiseJune 28, 2018, 10:50 am
Just bought this pattern and am lost re: “back loop” on row 2. I’ve been crocheting for 40 years so I have plenty of experience but I’ve never seen a pattern written this way…I can’t identify what you are calling a back loop. Can you offer further explanation. The pictures don’t help, thank you. Joye Wise
RebeccaJune 29, 2018, 6:10 pm
Hi Joye! This is just the standard back loop of the stitch – nothing out of the normal. The 1st round of petals was done in the front loops only (the loop closest to you) and Round 2 then goes into the back loops of the same stitches. The beginning of my video tutorial for the Wildflower Shoulder Bag shows this pattern through Round 2, hopefully it will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mHi_A413ms
PatJuly 1, 2018, 7:27 am
congratulations on the birth of your son.
ednaJuly 2, 2018, 3:33 pm
wow, it is lovely,thank you for your tutorial, it is wonderful.
A beautiful pattern. I am anxious to get one started. Thank you so very much!
Mary GautreauSeptember 17, 2018, 6:23 pm
Love the pattern. I’m a learner by watching a video. I’ll give this a try since the pattern is available. Any luck in having a video done on this. I think it would make a nice rug for a child’s room. I hope I can follow the pattern.
Kathy CollinsSeptember 17, 2018, 7:34 pm
I was wondering if you had considered making the never ending wildflower into a circle vest.
Thanks
Kathy Collins
I have a question when changing colors shoyld you do it in a petal round? Absolutely love yhis pattern!

Hi again… I got your Neverending Wildflower pattern last week & wrote you hoiw I LOVED it and that I was going to decorate a hat to wear while watching the Kentucky Derby on TV at a neighborhood Bar with friends. I[d like to show you the picture but it doesn’t seem to work here??
OI, acho linda a sua flor, mas eu não consigo ler o padrão, só consigo fazer vendo o vídeo, eu não vendo, eu gosto de presentear minhas amigas, poderia fazer até a 5 rodada em vídeo? Sou brasileira, doestado do Rio Grande do Sul. Obrigado.
Is this a rwally hard pattern to make? I want to make this flower but I am a little shy to make it. Is there a video to follow?

I was looking for a large flower to put on hats that I knit for my daughter – this one is perfect! Your tutorial is soo helpful!!! I will post a photo when the hat is completed. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your tutorial and pattern!
May I use this pattern to make flowers for the UK based group called “Random Acts of Crochet Kindness”? See on Facebook.
Flowers are crocheted and left in public places for others to find and hopefully to make them smile.

I love the never ending flower
About Me
Hey there!
I'm Rebecca, a wife, mom, and tryer-of-new-crafty-things. I love to crochet, and I try to design patterns that the younger generations will love to make and love to wear. You can get to know me a little more here!
I have gotten so many emails, messages and comments about the pattern for the pillow shown in this photo. It is not my creation (someone used the Neverending Wildflower and turned it into a pillow), and unfortunately, the photo of it keeps getting linked to me. I do not have this pattern variation. I can, however, tell you that the stunning blanket pictured with it is Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys.
Thank you so much for this pattern! It’s beautiful! Will be using this on my beach bag I’m going to crochet for my cruise next year! Again, thank You!
Lovely! Can’t wait to make this. I can see it as a giant round flower pillow!
What a nice pattern~ Thanks for sharing.
lOVE THIS, SO MANY USES!! tHANK YOU!!
I love this pattern. I can’t wait to make it and add it to a hat for my granddaughter.
Have you considered doing a video on this flower. thanks so much it is gorgous!
There is a tutorial for this flower pattern on Moogly.
That must be a different pattern.
Please disregard. This was an error.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us. Can’t wait to try it!
I LOVE this pattern and instantly saw it as a textured, decorative rug for a small room that doesn’t get much traffic. Would it work?
It would! I would definitely keep it in a low traffic room, because the petals do have some height. I think it would be beautiful. 🙂
Beautiful pattern, thanks so much!
This is a beautiful flower and thank you so much for sharing it with us. Xx
Your talent is wonderful, and your sharing is wonderful. Thank you.
I want to help you! Are ALL the links affiliate? Up at the top is Artbeads.Com and I use them all the time. I’m just curious how it works. Shoot me an email if you can! Christiebass48079@gmail.com
Love all your work!!!!!
so lovely!!!!
thank you for sharing this,
xxxxxx Ale
This so awesome! I definitely will be making lots for hats, gifts, pins, etc!
Thank you so much!
this flower looks really easy and no doubt will be fun to make. I love to crochet and especially love to make flowere
Its very kind of you to share such a beautiful pattern!thanks
Thank you for this post. Such a beautiful flower pattern.
I love this pattern of the neverending wildflower, there is so many uses for it and thanks

Sería posible que los pusieran en español ?
If you’re looking for a Spanish translation, you might try Oombawka Design’s “Crochet Translation Project”. She has a list of translations. 🙂
I love this flower pattern. Will make it into a purse.
Beautiful love or.
Thank you for sharing your pattern it is beautiful and look forward to using it.
has anyone made a bag out of it?
I would be interested to see it!
I want to keep going past the 5th round of petals. As the number of spaces grow for the petals should I just continue to add TRs & flank them by the ch2s & DCs?
Thanks!! I’ve made a small purse & now am just seeing how big I can make one with the yarn left in a skein. 🙂
Yes, that’s correct! 🙂
Thank you for the pattern thinking about making a Afghan with it
i just love granny squares so much to do with them thank you, dorrie
Thankyou for sharing your expertise with us, I’ve been looking for a slouch pattern for ages, I’m on with it now ,my friend will be delighted.
Love the idea but can you please make a video so much easier to fallow. Don’t know how to read pattern. Thanks
I have thought about doing one. I haven’t made a tutorial video for anything yet, so I’ve got to first figure out what I need to make it work. 🙂
What a gorgeous flower! I see cushions for my sofa with this…..
I was just looking at some coasters I made and told my husband that think I created something and had thoughts to add something. Lol to funny..
I love visiting your website and adore your patterns. I too enjoy the clean and look in patterns. Yours are divine! Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thank you for the kind words!
I love this flower but as a beginner, I’m having difficulty figuring out which stitch to start DC in for the petals. Do i dc into both loops of the outer rim of the magic circle? Or just one loop? Can you help? !
I’ve already made round one and two twice, and frogged it both times 🙁
I’m sorry you’re having trouble! You’ll see in the instructions “FLO” and “BLO”, as in:
“1st Round of Petals (FLO):”
FLO means Front Loop Only, and BLO means Back Loop Only. So for the petal rounds, you’re working in the front loop only. I hope that helps!
Yes!!! Thanks so much!!!! I adore this flower. I’m actually going to make a few Dishrags from this pattern, because fancy chores are the best chores! 🙂
Love your patterns just learning and can’t wait to try this one very clever people and very much appreciated thanks Ruth
Thank you very much
Thanks for the pattern I am going to try it
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this post. You are truly talented.
Thank You, I am always looking for extra special embellishments for head bands, greeting cards, bead making and other WOW jewellery.
I teach paper bead making at a local craft shop and love to wear the other goodies I am inspired to make.

Beautiful Flower !!!!! I am New to the world of crochet…and now in my “Twilight years” I have finally came to Grips with it.
And Now Ive found your stunning web site Im Really overwhelmed by your generosity of offering your creations for our use for free!!! Only thing is I will have to try and convert to English usage But Im sure that wont be hard to do… I AM finding Your Written instructions Much much Easier for me to read..

I think I can see a Flower splurge coming on in my house
this pattern is most delicate and beautiful. Plan on making a blanket. Thank you for sharing!
I love the name of your blog and all of the patterns that you so willingly share with everyone. Thank you so very much. I have your blog in my favorites so I will be back to check out what you are up to. 🙂 God bless.

¡Hola! Yo no tengo actualmente una traducción en español para cualquiera de mis patrones. Si usted puede traducir esto, estoy feliz de publicarlo en mi sitio web y darle el crédito. ¡Gracias!
This is by far the prettiest flower I’ve seen. The versatility makes it a keeper. I’m working on hats for little girls and needed a flower. This in a smaller version will work perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
I tried to sign up for your newsletter but I kept being told my email address was invalid.
Can you sort this for me please. Thanks
Thank u. Absolutely beautiful. Ideas are flowing for uses. Colors will be joining design. Continue….
Thank you for this lovely pattern, I’m already thinking how to use it. Can I ask you if it would make a floor rug?
It could, if you made it big enough. I wouldn’t put it in a high-traffic area, as the petals aren’t flat and it might become a tripping hazard. 🙂
Lover of flowers this is awesome thanks so much for sharing with me

Hey Rebecca, this is just wonderful. Finally a crocheted flower that’s beautiful, easy to make, and functional!! Thanks for sharing! I am new to your site but have signed up for your free email newsletters. Terrific website!
How do I copy have one give to me 3 weeks ago thanks
I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. If you want to print the pattern, you can use the “print” button located just above where the written-out pattern begins on this page, or you can purchase an ad-free PDF for $1 on Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/236238371/crochet-flower-pattern-pdf-the?ref=ss_listing
Wow…I love that flower!
I have been looking for a flower pattern such as this to use as an applique to put on on fancy crochet legwarmers that I plan on making. Want to design my own pattern. This will be just the perfect flower design.
Thanks for this lovely pattern. I will use it happily.
I love your patterns. Make me know any news about them.
congratulations for the beautiful job.
Thank you. This is beautiful…
i have just joined this group and I am looking through all the thing that people have put on and I came across your beautiful flower. I make bobble blankets on a frame and these flowers would look stunning on them. I am only a learner I can do a granny square and make a rose of a fashion but would love to have a go at your flower as it has the wow factor. Fingers crossed lol Thankyou x
Do you have utube video of this pattern,it is my personal choice to follow the pattern.thanks for beautiful flower
Not at this time.
please have your patterns so we can print them off. right now there are 66 comments and I sure do not want those so to heck with it. just skip this pattern.
Feel free to skip this pattern. It is a completely free service, after all.
For those who wish to print, I have provided multiple options.
1) Use the “Print” button located just above where the pattern begins. From there, if you follow the directions, you can delete everything you don’t want (including comments).
2) Purchase an ad-free, convenient PDF using the link just below the pattern title (where the pattern begins).
3) Good ol’ copy-and-paste.
Apart from not allowing comments on my blog posts at all, I’m not sure what more I could’ve done.
When you hit the print button, instead of hitting “print all”, click on the button that allows you to select which pages to print. Then you can select the range of pages you want to print, omitting the pages with comments.
I love this pattern ! I do the 1st 5 rounds then stop increasing & continue on to make the cutest hats. Thank you for this awesome pattern!!!!!
Beautiful flower. Thank you for sharing the pattern.
i am so confused on the location of the rounds and pedal rounds. I can’t even ask a question.
The second round goes in the unused loop of the first round.
where does the pedal round go?
This video might help. It’s a different pattern but it is the same as this, up to the 2nd round of petals.

Thank you
Peggy, I’m unable to do that. Sorry 🙂 You are welcome to print the pattern using the “print” button located just above where the pattern starts.
Peggy you can go to the library and print out the pattern if you don’t have a printer. I
Lovely! Thank you for sharing your patterns!
Having problems wih redundant fabric (as the flower expands the flower buckles and is increasingly hard to force flat). New to crochet and hoped you might have suggestions – ?
Try relaxing your tension on the increase rounds. Some people’s 1st round of petals do tend to do that, though. A nice-sized button in the center usually cures it, or you can take some fabric glue and force that first round down.
Thank you so very much for being generous and sharing the pattern for this never ending flower. I have had an idea like this for my bathroom rug but I wanted it washable. I will be making a few of these for different areas and I know my a couple of friends who will be asking for one, lol. Your idea of teaching us slowly over a few sessions is wonderful and unique to me. GREAT idea.
I am very happy to have found you.
This is the perfect flower for a hat I made! The yarn I ordered for the wildflower bag hasn’t come yet so I’m making this while I wait. Thank you for your wonderful patterns
Very pretty. I have been looking for a flower like this. Thank you.
Rebecca,
Thank you for sharing this.
I’m still having a bit of an issue with this – all my issue, not yours.
Have you ever thought of doing a video to show us how this is done?
Personally, I would find it very helpful. Just something to consider.
Thanks you,
Jeanie.
A video will come eventually. Until then, however, I do have one that might at least help you get started. The first two rounds of petals in this tutorial video are exactly the same pattern. Please note that after the 2nd round of petals, the video will no longer match up.
http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/wildflowershoulderbag-part1/
Thank you for the pattern. I am thinking of making it bigger for a bed spread.
looks delightful, will it work with varigated yarn or should the xolor be the same throughout?
I’ve seen some beautiful ones done with variegated yarn 🙂
This pattern is realy neat and also beautiful. The only thing I don’t understand is
how to start the magic circle. Please help. Thanks
This tutorial might help: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/how-to-crochet-a-magic-circle/
im trying to find the directions for magic circle
Here’s a tutorial: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/how-to-crochet-a-magic-circle/
What a lovely idea so glad I have found you and talented. x
I made this into a pillow. I just made my own “pillow back” to make a pillow.
Do you use any photos of finished products made with your pattern? I am disabled and crocheting is my favorite pastime. Thank you so much for the pattern. I am going to try making it in cotton, too. BJ
thto share your pattern.at is so sweet of you
that was so you share your pattern.at is so sweet of you .
Love this Never ending wildflower, am showing the “other Granny’s” at our get together on a Wed how to do it. We are planning a blanket for our fete, so will be using your granny square. It will be interesting to see the combinations of colour.
Thank you so very much for this pattern.

I love this pattern, but I’m still new to crocheting, could you possibly make a YouTube video tutorial? 🙂
It’s on the to-do list! 🙂 In the meantime, I do have a video that might help get you started. It’s for the Wildflower Shoulder Bag, but the squares for the bag begin the same way this pattern does. It will get you through the first 2 rounds of petals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mHi_A413ms (the flower begins at 0:38)
I love this flower! I used the square pattern as part of a baby afghan and I’m about to whip up a flower to accent a baby sun hat. Noticed a typo, though. Where it says “Hook:” you put “H (5.50mm)”, and H is 5.00mm, I is 5.50mm. Thank you so much for this pattern. Love it and the whole blog. 🙂
I sure did! Thank you for spotting that!
just lovely thank you for posting this pattern
Thanks for the pretty & simple flower pattern.
I am new at making flowers, but I will try this pattern.
Oh, My God, that Never Ending Wild Flower is beautiful, very much but it’s complicated too. I don’t dare begin it… Sorry.
Love
Marianne
I love your patterns.
Thank you very much for the lovely patterns you have produced, I have done the wildflower bag, still work in progress. I’m fairly new to crochet, how do I send my piccys of finished projects
You can post them on my Facebook page, Little Monkeys Crochet. I’d love to see them 🙂
Have just finished the Never ending wildflower bag I am very happy with results Made a small purse with one flower motif on can take my I pad also a small change purse. Have lined them all and they look great. Thanks for a great project.

Have you tried a pointed petal version? Do you think it would work?
I’m actually planning to release a pointed petal version this fall 🙂
this is an amazing pattern. I am a novice crocheter but carefully following your concise and well written pattern, I was able to duplicate it beautifully. I love the flowerbag pattern so might continue along and attempt to make it.
Hello there! love the flowers very easy for us beginners. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I crochet for charity and this is the only pattern I use for making my flower appliques! I just LOVE it ~ it adds class to all of my projects!
This is beautiful and very versatile. Thank you for sharing.
Would love to make a coverlet for my bed this flower is beautiful and so easy to crochet wish me luck
OH….MY….GAWD!!! This is my new favorite flower pattern. I love that it’s already “put together”, no sewing a spiral together. I love it!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for your talent and sharing this beautiful ‘never ending wildflower’ pattern. This pattern is so enjoyable and with each layer of petals, becomes more amazing!
I love this pattern! I can use this for so many neat projects; from hats, scarfs, to pillows and blankets. I usually knit, but this will get my crochet taste buds going!! thank you for this great pattern!
Beautiful flower design
I love this pattern but I do have a question. Would it be possible to use a sport weight yarn for a lighter lacier look and make it baby Afghan size? Or maybe size it for a prayer shawl?
Yes, you can use any yarn and appropriately-sized hook 🙂
I’ve been looking for Xmas tree patterns, are there any available? I had crochet a table cloth and my friend cut and surged it. It looks very nice after I added a boarder but I would like to get some more patterns.
I would check Ravelry.com! 🙂
Thank you for the pretty pattern. I love to crochet flowers. My favorite is with thread. I’m excited to try this!
I love your patterns allthough I sometimes need some translation. But as your patterns are so wonderful it doesn’t really matter.
Can’t wait to make this
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful flower pattern!
bEAUTIFUL FLOWER
Picture instructions would be easier to follow.
thank you.
Just what I need to freshen up my living room! Thanks
Thank you for your beaty flower pattern.
And i have a question. can i use this pattern for my dishwash business? . and sorry i have no english well. Have a good night .
Hi Mell! You may use your finished items in any way you wish. 🙂
Thank you so much! I admiral for your big mind.
Lovely pattern.
I can’t wait to start this project! Beautiful flowers with so much potential.
I love this particular flower! There are so many different flowers to crochet, but this one is great because you can make it any size and it will look great. thanks, Rebecca!
A really versatile pattern – I am imagining many uses for it!
This is the pattern that attracted me to Little Monkeys (besides the name, of course) Those little monkeys are so-o-o-o adorable. I like making things that look a lot more difficult than they are. This just fit the bill. I’m working on the Wildflower Shoulder Bag in off while & country blue. It’s turning out to be really cute. Have had raves about it when working on it in public places. I think the strap will be braided crocheted cords in the white & blue. Thanks for the pattern. Easy to read, easy to follow instructions.
This is absolutely gorgeous. <3
What a lovely flower! I love making flowers, they are one of my favorite things to make next to purses and tote bags.
I love this flower!! Your instruction are Great!
I made a cushion out of this pattern– Love it!!!!!
Beautiful pattern.Thanks for sharing
This is one of the prettiest flower patterns I’ve seen!
looking forward to trying this out!
Thank you for this pattern. I can apply this on so many items.
This is so pretty!
The power of love is always found in items that are made by hand – may they be a decoration or edible! When I was younger, my family had to do this kind of thing just to keep up with the bills! It happens, now, after injuries resulting from an accident that I have to find my own way to do things for fundraisers for items needed in the home! These are just wonderful for the holidays!
Thank you for this pattern, I have been looking for a nice flower pattern that lays flat and tidy. I want to tell you also that I have made a couple of hats from your hat patterns, LOVE THEM. You are so talented, thank you.
Love this pattern will try to do it
Love this pattern will try to do it and thank you for sharing
I enjoy following your blog. Thank you for your creative ideas.
Just made the flower and the video was so helpful. Thanks.
Hello! I love this, and I was thinking of using chunky thread and making a rug? Do you think it would work?
This pattern will work for any size yarn/thread and appropriately-sized hook. 🙂
Hi Erika, I’ve made a few rugs using double knit wool and 5mm hook. This was perfect for what I wanted. I think chunky wool would make much bigger/thicker flowers.
I made different sized flowers (4, 5 or 6 rows of petals) and +- 3 different colours per rug.
I used a plastic non slip mesh as a backing – which makes te whole rug a bit sturdier too.
This is beautiful! I can’t wait to start. Thank you!
obrigada por compartilhar suas ideias.
I can vision making this with some jute and then having it for a rug. Love it!
Rebecca-I’m so happy to have found your site! I’m excited to explore it more. I’ve began the Wildflower Bag and am loving it! It is so obvious that the Lord has blessed you with amazing talent and I’m very thankful you are willing to share it!!!
Looking forward to see what’s next! May the Lord bless you and your precious family!

Hey! Really adore your flower, gonna make loads of them to cover my closet door ❤ A question: At the “2nd Round of Petals (FLO): CH2. DC in same ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST. (SL ST to next St, CH2, DC in same ST. In next ST, DC, CH2, SL ST) around. SL ST to base of 1st CH2. (12 petals)” isn’t it suppose to become 24 petals? Or what am I doing wrong. Again love your flower ❤
Haha just looked at the video and figured it out, thanks yet again for an absolutely gorgeous flower ❤?
Hi, your wildflower design is beautiful. I’m looking through your site for the pattern for the pictured cushion and afghan done in matching shades of green/ teal, and beige/OR grey with what looks like a little sparkly button in the center of the flower on the cushion. They are exquisite! Can you please steer me to where those patterns are?
Beautiful design!!! So easy to follow instructions 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing!
I absolutely love this pattern!! So easy, so fun! Thanks so much!
What does 2tr mean
TR = Triple/Treble Crochet.
I absolutely love this! Do you have the afghan pattern? I want my mother to make them both! They are beautiful….thank you!
I’m not sure which afghan pattern you’re referring to; I only have a square pattern here: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/the-never-ending-wildflower-12-granny-square
where can i get the pattern for both the pillow and throw ?
If you’re referring to the gray and teal version, it’s not mine. I do not have a pattern to turn the flower into a throw and I’m not sure who is responsible for the variation. The blanket in that photo is Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys (you can find it on Ravelry).
Thank you for this pattern, I can wait to make it.
One question: what yarn did you use on the sample flower that is on the couch pillow? It looks like it is variegated from dark grey to an aqua to a light grey/natural color. I LOVE that color scheme and would love to try that yarn out also. Thanks again for sharing your creative genius with us.
That sample is not mine, it just keeps getting linked to me. I do not have a pattern to turn the flower into a pillow and I’m not sure who is responsible for the variation. The blanket in that photo is Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys (you can find it on Ravelry).
What a beautiful bag. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. This will be my first bag, and your tutorial is what gives me the confidence that I can do it on my own.
I wonder if you would you mind sharing a picture of your bag with your leather strap attached? I think that’s the way I will go but it would help to see what it looks like.
Again, realllly appreciate your hard work here in sharing via this tutorial!
Take Care,
Peggy Hurley

I love your patterns
Hi Rebecca,
I came across this stunning never-ending flower of yours this morning and I instantly fell in love!! Thank you!
I really love your website and will definitely follow you on it. 🙂 I am an absolute beginner crocheter, and have just gone into a tiny business with 2 friends of mine, selling mostly South African natural, hand-dyed and organic yarns, & stock a variety of knitting/crochet accessories. We are in Johannesburg, South Africa, and are all passionate about anything to do with wool/yarn.
I do not wish to do anything illegal or offensive, and hope you will not be annoyed that I have posted a pic of your magnificent flower on our Facebook page, called The Yarn Tree. I am simply to trying to attract people’s attention & invite them to our studio,. Should we get a good enough response, we would love to hold a morning workshop in our studio, and crochet this flower together as a group.
Please could you let me know if this would be a problem for you Rebecca?
When I posted the flower pic on Facebook, I have mentioned your website.
I hope what i have done is the “correct ” protocol and we haven’t offended you in any way, as that is not our intention.
Thanks very much and we look forward to seeing more of your fab patterns and ideas.
Kind regards
Gill, from The Yarn Tree, Johannesburg
Hi Gill,
You’re welcome to use my pattern in your workshops as long as you either (1) give the guests the link to the pattern and have them print off their own copy to bring, or (2) purchase enough ad-free PDFs for everyone in the group. Thanks! 🙂
I love this pattern and my plan is to make the flower so large my grand daughter can use as a throw…I am really confused on how to increase the pattern….help
Have you started the pattern yet? My guess is that by the time you get through my instructions, you’ll understand what you’re doing and be able to add rounds 🙂
I love the never ending patterns. I’ve tried them all and different variation of colors. I would like to make a big flower, 9 or 10 petals, but I keep messing up the count for the first row of the square. I know there must be a formula for the number of hdc and sc but I can’t figure it out. Can you help me?
Love this pattern. On my 14th petal row and want to turn it into a baby blanket, how do I make it into a square at this size. Can anyone help? Thanks
Hi! These are my favourite flower to crochet, thank you for this fabulous tutorial! I used them in a blog post ;
makemakeblog.com/bs-rainbow-jumper-1
Just finished crocheting the flower and loving it’s style. Thank you for sharing the pattern. It is easy to follow your instructions and I appreciate the time you spent developing the design. It’s a keeper!
Rebecca,
i have been crocheting for 66 years ,knew i had seen a pattern like your wildflower. it`s called pretty petals potholder from the complete book of crochet, the spool cotton company 1946.i got it from http://www.angelfire.com/folk/celtwich/prettypetals.htm. thanks for your pretty work. rena
What a marvellous blanket, which will be my next project! Thank you for sharing your patterns.
Donna
Dear Rebecca,
Thank you so much for making this beautiful wildflower pattern! It is such a pleasure to crochet it 🙂 I turned mine into a small kiss clasp purse, you can see it here: http://littleroomintheattic.blogspot.ru/2016/09/crocheted-flower-purse.html
Thank you again!
I love this pattern!! I have been looking for decorative pillows but they are so expensive! So being able to make one that is so cute! I am totally doing it 🙂
Do you have a pattern for the blanket as well?
Sorry just wanted to know if there is a pattern for the blAnket as welll.
Are you referring to the aqua and gray blanket pictured with the wildflower pillow in the photo that’s going around? If you look up in the blog post, I addressed that and provided a link. It’s not my pattern. 🙂
Hi, I make lapghans for a local nursing home. I’ve been looking for a flower to attach to the corner, you know just a little something for the ladies Your flower looks perfect 🙂
Thank you for sharing
OMG This is so beautiful. I’m so happy with how it turned out. I’m using it in a large collection of dreamcatchers over my bed. I added another row of double crochet on the back loops to give me something to attach to the hoop with. The hoop is smaller than the flower (falls at the base of the last row of petals ) so the hoop itself is not visible. The flower stands up a bit and looks like it is floating on the wall. I hope that is okay with you. It’s just for my personal use. Thank you for sharing this.
I love this wildflower! Thank you so much for the pattern! I’ll be using it on gifts for the holidays <3
Thank you….it is a beautiful flower!!
Thank you for sharing your pattern, I am looking forward to start with it.
Thank you for a wonderful site and congrats for the birth of your 3rd little monkey. I had three myself and all are Mothers themselves. One I call my little monkey although not so little as he’s 13 now. Enjoy their young years as they go by so quick. M
I am confused on where 2nd round of petals start, on previous petal round or on underlying round?
Thank you
I found your video for purse. Now i understand.
Tx
So glad you were able to figure it out! 🙂
This is so stunning! I am new to crochet and was wondering if you had a video tutorial? Also can you please tell me the yarn and what colors you used for your pillow?
Thanks so much!
I linked a partial video tutorial up in the pattern notes section, you can find it there. Also, the pillow is not mine; if you read the text next to the photo, you’ll see my explanation. 🙂
This Wildflower and the Zinnia are beautiful!! I am amazed at how you were able to create these. I do good just reading a pattern and following along. You are truly talented. I am beginning the the wildflower and I want to do the zinnia next.
The creator for the featured Wildflower pillow and Sophie blanket is [name removed by Admin] from the FB group “Offical CCC Social Group” and it is doubtful you’d get a straight answer on any details of her work. She did say in a previous 2015 post that her yarn came from Australia – Cleckheaton 8ply and that to square it off it took some tweaking with trebles to get it right. To my knowledge she has yet to post her work in Ravelry. I asked in that 2015 post…no reply.
Thank you Samantha! Finally, an answer to a years-long mystery 🙂 I removed her name from your post only because it sounds like she’s chosen not to share the info, which I totally respect, and I don’t want to send a ton of people her way. But it is SO nice finally having an answer!
I’m sorry you feel that way Samantha, I thought I tried to be very helpful. Is there anything else I could do? I am not sure how to post on Ravelry, sorry!
Thank you! I love this pattern for it is easy to follow! It is beautiful!
This is a great pattern. You have some really interesting patterns on your site.
I just Love this !No bulk at All.I will. Be using this in Irish crochet.Thankyou
I love this flower, thanks so much for the pattern! I want to make a pillow with this flower. However, I’m confused about how to add the granny square after I have made the flower larger. I can make the back of the pillow but adding the granny square on to a larger flower is a puzzle for me. Can you please help? ?
You can take a look at this pattern: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/the-never-ending-wildflower-12-granny-square
It will show you how I added it to a basic square. 🙂
It would be very helpful for people like me to be able to just click on a ‘Print” button to get a copy of your patterns as I struggle with trying to get a PDF to download or whatever on my system.
Hello Rebecca, thank you for sharing this ingenious flower. I have been crocheting flowers for 3 years. In fact, it is the reason I learnt how to crochet, as I wanted to make flowers to decorate the hats I was wearing for alopecia. With your inspired pattern, I can make much bigger flowers for my hats without them becoming bulked up, like a lot of other crochet flowers do when I aim for a larger diameter.
I am thinking of using your pattern to crochet a beanie by stopping increasing at around row 7 (depending on thickness of yarn and size of hook) and then continuing for as many identical rows as needed for the right beanie length. I imagine it might need something (a bobble or compact flower?) on the top, otherwise it could have a caved in look there from the flatness of round one. Have you ever tried this? If so, did it work out well?
Congratulations on your latest arrival and thanks again. Rachel in rainy England
I haven’t tried it but someone else did and posted it on this Facebook thread:

Hi, I was able to use Print-friendly to turn your Never Ending flower into a pdf file. So the problem has been sorted for you. Thank you for being so generous with your talent.

Hi, I was so happy to find your pillow. Do you have a pattern for the back side?
What pillow are you referring to?
I just finished with ur pattern, I kept going & made a 40″ ( diameter ) rug! I love it. Thank you
Saw finished product this morning by a lady on Facebook- how beautiful is this! How talented are you! Thank you for not only providing a pattern but also tutorial.
Thank you xx
Bless you and your little monkeys xxx
Hi Rebecca,
The cushion in the above photo is mine. I created it from your pattern…..thank you so much. And yes the throw on the chair is Dedri’s.
Kind Regards,
Leanne Kassis.
I’m so sorry Rebecca, I have only just found all the comments! I didn’t realise it was going to cause such a problem.
Leanne.
NO worries Leanne! I’m so happy to connect with you. Your photo has caused quite a stir in the crochet world! Rightfully so, it is absolutely stunning work. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the generosity of your beautiful free pattern!
Well, I’ve tried again to download the Never Ending Wildflower Pillow pattern, and all it comes up with is downloading the PDF to DOC business. Even though I’ve done that, I can’t see where to download the pattern. This is ridiculous.
You are clicking on an ad. The PDF for this pattern is not free to download. The blog version is free, and the PDF is available in my pattern store as stated in the pattern.
Thanks so much for the lovely flower design…I added it to the sunhat I just finished.
Thank you for sharing with us this wildfire flower pattern. I started to crochet just a couple of months back and managed to make it and also added an extra row. Now I have to find a way to use it….
Never ending Wildflower
This is such a beautiful pattern. Love making them
Hi Rebecca
Thank you so much for this lovely flower pattern. It is beautiful and I plan to use this with various projects including pillows. Hope you and your babies are doing well.
Love this pattern, but there is no way that I can print it. It’s impossible to copy and paste it into a word document. Need a printable pattern, so I can have for later on when I’m ready to use it. Would have to write it out for use. Thank you.
I haven’t put on any settings that would keep you from being able to copy and paste, so I’m not sure why that isn’t possible for you. You are welcome to purchase the ad-free PDF version at http://members.littlemonkeyscrochet.com/product/neverending-wildflower/.
Hi EL,
I just tried copying and pasting the pattern and it worked. I selected the text and then used the key shortcut Ctrl v, which pasted it into the Word document. Hope this helps and it works for you.
Forgot to say that after selecting the text I right clicked on it and then left clicked on copy. Then did Ctrl v. Apologies if I’m telling you what you already know.
I just love this. Have made one of these and a couple of the zinnia. Now I’m doing my own variation to make a never ending sunflower. It’s such a fun pattern when done
lOVE THIS PATTERN AND AS SOON AS I GET MY OWN PLACE I WILL START BACK ON THE HOOK..
I’ve searched high and low for a pattern that is FOLLOWABLE (totally a word) which grows to any size and looks awesome. The Zinnia and Wildflower patterns are beautiful. Thank you.
I would like to make this flower into a pillow…for each row I should add how many tc per petal….and for each increase dc row how should I do the the increase for rows up to 10?
The increase is just a standard increase. As far as the petals, I do all remaining petals exactly the same as I did on the last listed round.
Hi Rebecca,
I am very excited to show you one of the rugs I’ve made with your wildflower pattern. Thank you so much for the pattern!
How can I share a photo of the rug with you?
You can send it to me at littlemonkeyscrochet@gmail.com! 🙂
Love your work
Such a BEAUTIFUL pillow. I hope I can follow. I’m going to start today. Love it so much. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern. I may be late to the party, but I am excited about the possibilities and I am anxious to get started. Just a side note, my birthday is December 28! Please, don’t wrap your son’s birthday presents in Christmas paper. LOL. Thanks again.
Haha! He got is very own birthday wrapping paper, don’t worry! <3
How do i make it bigger and to put it on a granny square I want to make a cushion out if it please help
Not sure how do I make the flower bigger and to put it on a granny square
I have a pattern for something like that here: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/the-never-ending-wildflower-12-granny-square/
I love this pattern. Will make into a small rug with a yellow center and white petals, daisy like and back with terricloth for a bathroom. I also do bags as well and it will be a beautiful embellishment for a spring/summer bag. Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing!
Just wondering where ti find pattern to complete square i have the flower just not sure where to go from there. Thank you!
I havent attempted this yet but would like to mke a pillow. Are there directions for that and where can i get them. thank u much.
Thank you so very much for sharing your free patterns with us . Us Crocheters would be very lost without you generous Ladies . I am fairly new at Crochet and these video patterns are so helpful. Again thank you . Luv and. Blessings , Gina. Quarles
Hello, I’ve done 11 rows of petals, how do I make it square from here?? Thank you!
Where do I find round pillow forms? Havent seen them in stores in a long time
I found the best pricing and shipping from a place called ReinaStores.com. I should be receiving them next week. 🙂
I would love to get the pattern for my granddaughter as she is in my daughter’s wedding and would love to try and make this. I am a beginner
I fell in love with this design but thought it beyond my ability even though I’ve crocheted for years, but then I looked at the pattern!! I’m so excited that something do beautiful is so easy to make! Can’t wait to try it out 😊
Thank you for so beautiful patterns.
Just bought this pattern and am lost re: “back loop” on row 2. I’ve been crocheting for 40 years so I have plenty of experience but I’ve never seen a pattern written this way…I can’t identify what you are calling a back loop. Can you offer further explanation. The pictures don’t help, thank you. Joye Wise
Hi Joye! This is just the standard back loop of the stitch – nothing out of the normal. The 1st round of petals was done in the front loops only (the loop closest to you) and Round 2 then goes into the back loops of the same stitches. The beginning of my video tutorial for the Wildflower Shoulder Bag shows this pattern through Round 2, hopefully it will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mHi_A413ms
congratulations on the birth of your son.
wow, it is lovely,thank you for your tutorial, it is wonderful.
Hi Rebecca! I made a dream catcher using your never ending wildflower pattern and posting it on my blog tomorrow with a link to your pattern.
A beautiful pattern. I am anxious to get one started. Thank you so very much!
Love the pattern. I’m a learner by watching a video. I’ll give this a try since the pattern is available. Any luck in having a video done on this. I think it would make a nice rug for a child’s room. I hope I can follow the pattern.
I was wondering if you had considered making the never ending wildflower into a circle vest.
Thanks
Kathy Collins
Looking forward for patterns

Ty
Hi again… I got your Neverending Wildflower pattern last week & wrote you hoiw I LOVED it and that I was going to decorate a hat to wear while watching the Kentucky Derby on TV at a neighborhood Bar with friends. I[d like to show you the picture but it doesn’t seem to work here??
OI, acho linda a sua flor, mas eu não consigo ler o padrão, só consigo fazer vendo o vídeo, eu não vendo, eu gosto de presentear minhas amigas, poderia fazer até a 5 rodada em vídeo? Sou brasileira, doestado do Rio Grande do Sul. Obrigado.
Is this a rwally hard pattern to make? I want to make this flower but I am a little shy to make it. Is there a video to follow?
I was looking for a large flower to put on hats that I knit for my daughter – this one is perfect! Your tutorial is soo helpful!!! I will post a photo when the hat is completed. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your tutorial and pattern!
May I use this pattern to make flowers for the UK based group called “Random Acts of Crochet Kindness”? See on Facebook.
Flowers are crocheted and left in public places for others to find and hopefully to make them smile.
I love the never ending flower
