Follow this easy step-by-step tutorial to create your own little field of chamomile!
🧶 Materials Needed:
- Small amounts of cotton yarn:
– Yellow (center)
– White (petals) - Crochet hook (2.5mm–3.5mm recommended)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Stitch marker (optional)
🌼 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Yellow Center
- Start with a magic ring
- Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring
- Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc
- Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sc)
- Fasten off the yellow yarn
🟡 You now have a flat yellow circle — the flower’s center!
Step 2: Add the White Petals
- Join white yarn in any stitch
- Petal pattern:
– Chain 6
– Work 1 single crochet in 2nd chain from hook
– Work 1 half double crochet (hdc) in next chain
– Work 3 double crochets (dc) in remaining chains
– Slip stitch into the same stitch where you joined - Slip stitch into the next stitch and repeat the petal pattern
- Continue around the yellow center, making 12 petals total (1 per stitch)
Each petal is made of 1 sc, 1 hdc, and 3 dc going up the chain—giving the soft rounded shape of chamomile petals.
🌼 Finishing:
- After completing the last petal, fasten off and weave in the ends neatly with a yarn needle
- Optional: Add a tiny button, leaf, or stem to enhance the look
- You can also stiffen the flower slightly with spray starch if desired
✨ Tips:
- Use lightweight yarn (like size 2 or 3 cotton) for a delicate look
- Keep your tension even so petals come out uniform
- Try making several flowers and stitching them together into a floral headband, brooch, or wall hanging
✅ Conclusion:
Your Crochet Chamomile Flower is complete! Simple, sweet, and full of handmade charm, this little bloom can brighten up any project. Whether you’re decorating a bag, gifting a pin, or just enjoying some mindful crafting, this flower is a beautiful symbol of peace and simplicity.
