Easy Crochet Flower Applique in 2 Sizes

If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying project, these easy crochet flower appliques are just the thing!

Over the years, I’ve tackled many advanced crochet patterns that take weeks (or even months) from concept to completion. While those intricate projects are rewarding, sometimes it’s nice to slow down and whip up something simple that brings instant gratification.

These crochet flowers are perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. They’re small, versatile, and come in two sizes.

The slightly larger crochet flower applique starts with 10 single crochet stitches in a magic ring, while the smaller version uses just 5 single crochet stitches. With only about a 1 cm difference, you can pick the size that works best for your crochet projects—whether you’re adding a flower applique to a hat, bag, scarf, or blanket.

If you’re searching for an easy crochet flower that’s quick to make and endlessly customizable, this small flower crochet pattern is exactly what you need!
