About This International Women's Day Flowers Pattern

This pattern teaches you how to crochet three sizes of rolled flowers to create a small bouquet. You will use basic US stitches (ch, sc, hdc, dc) and simple shaping to make layered petals. The flowers are quick to make and look beautiful in mixed purple shades.

Why You'll Love This International Women's Day Flowers Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into elegant floral shapes that feel special and handmade. I enjoy how quickly each flower comes together, so you can make a whole bouquet in an afternoon. The flexibility to mix yarn weights and shades allows me to play with texture and depth. I find rolling the strips into a bloom is a relaxing step that always feels rewarding. I hope you enjoy making and gifting these flowers as much as I do.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize these flowers by changing yarn weight and hook size to get bigger or smaller blooms.

Try pastel shades for a softer, romantic bouquet or deep jewel tones for a dramatic arrangement.

I often combine different textures — pair a smooth DK yarn with a slubby light yarn for depth and interest.

Want a mini keychain version? Use fingering or sport weight yarn and a much smaller hook to create tiny flowers.

I sometimes add a small felt circle or a button at the base of the rolled bloom for a neat finish and added stability.

You can also embroider a small center or glue a bead into the middle for a bit of sparkle and a different focal point.

For stems, wrap floral wire with floral tape or crochet small tubes to slide over wire for a professional look.

Make a whole garland by sewing several flowers onto a length of ribbon or crocheted chain for festive decor.

I like to experiment with layered color: use a darker shade for the base row and a lighter shade for the outer petals for contrast.

Don't be afraid to play: varying how tightly you roll the strip completely changes the final bloom, so practice until you find the look you love.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the correct chain count for the starting row can change the petal spacing and final size; always count your chains carefully before continuing. ✗ Working with inconsistent tension across the petals makes the rolled flower look uneven; keep a steady tension and practice a test strip if needed. ✗ Cutting the tail too short after fastening off leaves nothing to sew the bloom with; leave a long tail as instructed to roll and sew the flower securely. ✗ Forgetting to finish the last petal section properly causes the roll to unpick; fasten off neatly and tuck the end under as you sew to secure the bloom firmly.

Assembly Instructions

  • Small flower: Fasten off and cut a long tail. Roll the crocheted strip to make the flower and sew it using the long tail to secure the coil.
  • Medium flower: Fasten off and cut a long tail. Roll the piece tightly or loosely to create the desired bloom and sew through the layers with the tail to secure.
  • Large flower: Fasten off and cut a long tail. Roll the strip into a large rosette and sew through the base of the roll to hold all petals in place.
  • Use the long yarn tail from each flower to attach or sew the finished bloom onto stems, hair clips, or a bouquet base so that each flower is secure.

Important Notes

  • 💡Gauge is not critical for this pattern; size will vary with yarn weight and hook but keep consistent tension for uniform blooms.
  • 💡Always leave a long tail when fastening off so you have enough yarn to roll and sew the flower securely.
  • 💡Try a small test strip first to decide how tightly you want to roll your flowers, as rolling tension affects the final shape.
  • 💡Mixing DK and light-weight yarns gives lovely texture and depth; experiment with shades of purple for a rich bouquet.

Make a sweet handmade bouquet for International Women's Day with these easy rolled flowers. Mix purple shades and yarn types to create depth and charm. Perfect for gifts, decorations, or using up yarn scraps. 🌸🧶
