Crochet Dragonfly Flower Garden
This Crochet Dragonfly Flower Garden scarf and afghan pattern was inspired by a friend. She mentioned my newest window flower stitch would look lovely with dragonflies after seeing an afghan square I’ve been working on.
The free pattern on my blog can be used to hook up a scarf and the ravelry paid pattern includes a pattern to work up 3 sizes of afghans, stroller, throw, king and includes the math to work out multiple sizing.

I don’t have a video for this pattern but there is a video tutorial for the window flower stitch.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-TH2Hk67yQ
Beautiful — thank you for sharing your skills!
YW. I would love to see if you hook something up ☺️
how would you make this dragonfly scarf into a possible baby afghan or larger?
As I said in the post above, the math and instructions to size this pattern are available by purchasing the pattern on Ravelry.
Where is the pattern for the scarf? All Free Crochet states that it is free? I cannot find the actual pattern. Thank you
There’s a pink download button, click on it, a window will pop up with a blue download button.
I tried clicking on the pink download button. All that was there was another pink button and a notice to make a board. What gives? This was supposed to be a free pattern not a wild goose chase.
I can’t afford to have my blog fixed, it works on desktop for now.
Debi, if I’m following row 8 correctly, I have a chain 3, then dc in 5 dc (so this would be 6 dc, including the chain), but the row ends with 5 dc. Is this correct?
Thanks, Sherry
Yes 6 on one side and 5 on the other.
Thank you for answering so promptly! I just ripped out about 8 rows because I thought I made a mistake 😩 then it seemed like I had done it right after all!
Thank you so much, such a beautiful pattern!
