Notes Before You Start (So It Looks “Pro”)
- Tension matters: keep stitches tight for a crisp mini bouquet.
- Use a stitch marker on the small rounds (especially the center/calyx).
- Shape = magic: petals look best after you gently roll/curve them before stitching.
- Wrapper hack: make it slightly wider than you think—wrapping eats width.
Crochet Mini Flower Bouquet Pattern
1) Flower Center
- R1: MR, 5 sc (5)
- R2: inc in next 2 sts, sc in next st, inc in next 2 sts (9)
- R3: sc around (9)
- R4: BLO dec, dec, sc, dec, dec (5)
- Fasten off and close.
Front-loop ruffle (from R3 FLO, change color if you want)
- Join yarn in any FLO of R3, then (sl st, ch4, sl st) in each FLO stitch around = 9 loops.
- Fasten off.
2) Petals
R1 — Make 6 petal strips
- MR, repeat 6 times:
- sc in ring, ch7, starting in 2nd ch from hook: sc in next 6 ch (back toward the ring)
R2 — Shape each strip (work around each strip)
For each petal strip:
- Up one side: sc, hdc, dc, tr inc, tr inc
- Tip stitch: (tr, dc, picot, dc, tr)
- Down the other side: tr inc, tr inc, dc, hdc, sc
Repeat for all 6 petals. Fasten off.
Roll/shape petals around the center and stitch to secure.
3) Calyx / Flower Base
- R1: MR, 5 sc (6)
- R2: inc around (12)
- R3: sc around (12)
- R4 (make 6 sepals): repeat 6 times:
ch6, starting in 3rd ch from hook: sl st in next 2 ch, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch
skip 1 st on the base round, sl st in next st
Fasten off, leave a tail to sew under the flower.
4) Leaf (make 1–2)
- Ch 10 (optional: crochet thin wire inside).
- Starting in 2nd ch from hook:
sc, hdc, tr x5, hdc, (sc, picot, sc) in last ch
- Other side of foundation chain:
- hdc, tr x5, hdc, sc
- Fasten off.
5) Wrapper / Packaging
- Row 1: ch32, dc in 3rd ch from hook and dc across = 30 dc
- Row 2+: ch2, turn, dc across (30)
- Repeat rows until it’s the width you like. Fasten off.
6) Tie
- ch75, fasten off.
Assembly
1) Attach the calyx under the flower
- Turn the flower upside down.
- Center the calyx on the bottom (the flat circle part sits against the flower base).
- Use the long tail to sew around in a small circle, catching a few stitches from the flower underside.
- Pull snug so the calyx sits tight and clean.
2) Build the bloom shape (petals around the center)
- Place the yellow center in the middle of the petal piece.
- Wrap the petals around it one by one, slightly overlapping.
- When you like the shape, tack it with 3–6 small stitches at the bottom:
- stitch through the petal base + into the underside of the center/calyx area
(Don’t sew high on the petals—only at the base so they stay puffy.)
- stitch through the petal base + into the underside of the center/calyx area
3) Add the leaves (1–2 leaves)
- Put the leaf base behind/under the calyx so it peeks out from the side.
- Sew only the leaf base with 2–4 stitches.
- Bend/curve the leaf outward for a natural bouquet look.
4) Make the wrapper cone (clean wrap method)
- Lay the wrapper rectangle flat (choose the prettier side as the outside).
- Put the flower near one edge, slightly above the center.
- Roll the wrapper diagonally into a cone:
- the first corner becomes the front flap
- the other side wraps behind
- Adjust until the flower sits nicely and the top opening frames the bloom.
5) Secure + tie
- If the wrapper wants to unroll, add 1–2 tiny stitches at the bottom back seam (or use a small dot of fabric glue).
- Wrap the tie around the bottom of the cone 2 times.
- Tie a bow (trim ends if needed).
✅ Finished look: A gift-ready crochet mini flower bouquet with a stable bloom, visible leaves, and a neat cone wrap.
Variations (quick ideas)
Color themes
- Classic rose: red petals + white ruffle + yellow center + green leaves + kraft/beige wrapper.
- Pastel gift: light pink petals + white ruffle + pale yellow center + mint leaves + baby blue wrapper.
- Bold pop: hot pink petals + yellow center + bright green leaves + black or dark wrapper.
Wrapper styles (same pattern, different look)
- Tight mini cone: crochet fewer rows (short wrapper).
- Tall bouquet wrap: add a few rows so the wrapper sits higher behind the bloom.
- Two-tone wrap: change wrapper color for the last 2–3 rows.
Leaf options

- Fuller bouquet: 2 leaves in a “V” behind the flower.
- Poseable leaf: crochet thin wire inside the leaf.
