Crocheted T-Shirt Yarn Flowers In Any Size

Need a bunch of sweet crocheted flowers that will make a statement and won’t take a year to crochet? Try crocheting these simple one-round flowers using commercial t-shirt yarn (or super chunky regular yarn) and you’ll have a whole tree full of blossoms  to celebrate the arrival of Spring, a wedding or engagement, or in our case, first a 3 years old birthday party this week, followed by the Jewish New Year for the trees, Tu B’Shevat, coming in a few weeks. Tu B’Shevat is generally the time when the first fruit tree, the almond tree, blooms, so crafts with pink blooms is perfect, and these crocheted flowers, now hanging over our dining room table are setting the stage for this lovely holiday.

When you plan ahead for your upcoming event, you can crochet some of these flowers on the go….you know, in line, in the waiting room, on the bus or train, you name it! So lets get crocheting!

You’ll Need:

• commercial t-shirt yarn
• crochet hooks, I used both a 10mm and a 6.5mm, as my t-shirt yarn was both light weight and on the heavy side
• pattern for one-round crocheted flowers

How To:

Using pattern, make flowers in a variety of sizes by varying the lenght of each chain, and the number of petals. I made the smallest flowers with a ch5 and 5 or 6 petals, larger flowers were made with a ch8 and 8 petals, for example. Experiment and see what works for you, though a variety is the nicest, namely a variety of sizes and colors.

I made some vertical strings of these flowers by threading them on a length of yarn, and since the yarn can always be pulled off I can always use the flowers in another way when necessary. I was thinking they’d look great sewn packed together on a piece of fabric to frame as art or hang as a wall hanging. Maybe someday, right now they look sweet over my dining room table.
