Crochet Flower Motif Pattern (No Sew)
These Crochet Flower Motif’s are an idea I’ve been thinking about for some time. The idea came because I want to work up a valance for my kitchen window.
I originally had the idea to work out some sort of granny square that I could sew together but today when I started working on a granny square pattern I worked up this round flower and couldn’t seem to figure out how to make it square.
I tried a few different things but really am stuck on this round flower so I decided to try to find a way to work them together without having to sew pieces together. I’m not sure about you, but I’m not one for sewing pieces together at all.
The great thing about this pattern is that you can make it into all kinds of different things, like a scarf, a bag handle, an afghan or a valance, it’s totally up to you to decide!

Yarn: Red Heart Soft Touch Yarn
Hook: US G6/4.25mm
Gauge: 1 flower = 3″
Sizing
You can work out your own sizing by using the provided gauge or you can use the directions I’ve included for a scarf of a baby afghan.
Scarf pattern: Follow directions until told to stop. This is a great stash buster pattern.
Baby afghan: A crib sheet is usually about 52″ x 34″ so you could work 12 flowers long by 18 rows of flowers.
Notes: For each flower I crochet over the beginning tail for the first rnd of work then trim the tail. Do not join rnds unless specified. I am working with 7 colours so I have them in a bucket and am using the center pull yarn.
1st flower..
Ch 4, join with sl st to beg ch to create a ring, ch 4 (counts as first dc & ch1), *dc in center of ring, ch 1, rep from * 10 more times, join with sl st to 3rd ch of 1st st. (12 ch1 sps)
Rnd 2: sl st into 1st ch1 sp, *ch 3, sl st in next ch1 sp, rep from * 11 more times. (12 ch3 sps)
Rnd 3: *sl st into ch3 sp, ch 1, dc in same ch3 sp, sc in same ch3 sp, rep from * 11 more times, after last stitch, cut yarn, draw up yarn, thread yarn through yarn needle and insert through beg sl st of the rnd (as shown below), weave in end.
**All flowers will be finished off the same.

Your next 5 flowers will be worked the same as the 2nd flower, when joining make sure to work first join in the 5th petal away from the last joined petal (as shown below). If you are making a scarf, just continue working until desired length.

How do you get these patterns to print? Whenever I click on something that appears to be a link to the pattern, all I get is directed to a site that won’t let me back to this page. Please help!!
Try using the clean print button at the bottom of the post.
Thanks. The color of the button is so light I never saw it before. Love your patterns!
ohhhh sweet looks like a yoyo pattern in crochet tk got some(piles) of 70s browns coral and such would be great
I have been looking for a “join as you go” kind of pattern for a scrapghan! I also hate sewing things together and sewing things onto other things. I was looking at another “yo-yo” like pattern and it was not “join as you go”. My thoughts were “I may be crazy but I am not that crazy” lol. Thank you for this! If I get some time I think my “bin of balls” is going to hopefully get used up!
If you finish your project before the end of April please submit a picture
I will! I just started today! And the race is today so I may or may not get a decent amount done. If it is uneventful and I don’t jump off the couch I will hopefully get a lot done! Lol.
I was wondering if this pattern could be used to make a bigger afghan and not a baby one? How many rows would I need to figure if I wanted to do this one as a full size afghan? Can anyone answer that question for me?
A full(double) sized comforter is approximately 84″ x 90″ so about 28 x 30 motifs.
A queen sized comforter is approximately 90″ x 95″ so about 30 x 32 motifs.
A king sized comforter is approximately 106″ x 98″ so about 35 x 33 motifs.
The great thing about this pattern is that you can always add more motifs to any side of your work until the desired size is achieved.
Hi Debi, I am making these flowers and decided to print the pattern so I could go outside and enjoy the weather. This is the first time I’ve seen the CLEAN PRINT option. It is wonderful! Thank you for having it on your page. I hope to see it on every webpage everywhere! It will save a lot of paper and ink. Keep up the beautiful work. Barb
I have always liked join-as-you-go motifs as I don’t really like sewing either. The only problem I have is making sure they are right way up when I join them as I usual find them wrong way up after I’ve already added a few. It looks great anyway.
I think I just about joined them with the wrong side facing up a few times, maybe I did, but luckily it’s one of those things that probably only we would notice.
Love the join as you go! Great pattern Debi! Thanks so much for linking up on Hookin On Hump Day!
