For these free crochet patterns for flowers and leaves I’ve purposely used cotton yarn. I plan to add these to my kids’ T-shirts or flip flops and in summer if they get wet, I feel the cotton is a better option. I went with a patriotic red white blue theme and loved how these turned out! You can make these flowers and leaves in any color of your choice of course.
In this crochet flowers tutorial, I’ve used all Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn in colors White, Red, and Dazzle Blue. Makes a great summer patriotic color scheme! The crochet hook is a 5.0mm size from this set of Bamboo Crochet Hooks.
