Shell Brook flower free crochet pattern

Pin Me

The Shell Brook Flower is another fun addition to the flower crochet pattern collection recently released here on my blog.  This flower is used in my Shell Brook Infant and Toddler dress patterns.  It is a quick and easy crochet flower that would make a great embellishment on hats, bags, blankets or anything really.  While I like to stitch them to the little girl dresses, they're also fun to attach a few crochet chains to and use for headbands.

If you have a bunch of scrap yarn, imagine all the fun and colorful flowers you can make!  This project only takes around 13.5 yards of yarn and it can be any size you prefer.  I chose to use Caron Simply Soft yarn as it's lighter weight and soft for the girls.
