Doily Flowers Crochet Challenge
Welcome to Week 5 of the Crochet Challenge. This week I am sharing a simple little doily flower for you.
Can you believe it is only chains and single crochet? It looks so pretty as coasters and perfect to hang up as ornaments too. I used a finer yarn to make them but you could use crochet cotton too if you want the coasters to be larger in size. If you have nothing but wool… then you could use that too. Here it is Doily Flowers free crochet pattern!
First time here?
I have started a series here on Words n Needles for my crochet lovers! The challenge is to make a flower every week. I will be sharing one simple crochet flower and it’s pattern every Wednesday. If you are interested in joining this challenge along with me, all you have to do is like us on Facebook and comment on the post for the challenge telling us that you want to play along.
You don’t have to have a blog or an account and you are more than welcome to share your pictures or success on our page for our readers. I will share you too. I will also be pinning your image to my new Pinterest board on the topic. It makes me so happy when people crochet!
If this is your first time here and you are interested in learning to crochet, I’d like to recommend that you hop over to our first week and make the super simple chain stitch flowers for practice first.
You can read our How to Crochet Post to learn to Crochet from the basics.
If you need books and tools, here is our recommendations.
I am a day late this week. Both my little girls have been down with an ear infection. It is sleepless nights and throwing up all week now. Mommy has had to go on Safe Mode. 🙂
This week I have deliberately not taken any step by step pictures. This pattern is too simple and I want my new crochet students to learn to read written patterns. Don’t worry. This is very simple. Just go step by step and you will understand very easily. There is a picture at the end to see where goes what. If you have any questions, just leave them in the comments. Enjoy the Doily Flowers Crochet Challenge! I’d love to see what you come up with!
