Crochet Cotton Flower Pattern

Today I am sharing with your my Crochet Cotton Flower pattern. Cotton is a staple for many of us in our daily lives, as it is strong, natural, and durable. Make your own crochet cotton flowers to add some natural charm to your home, or turn your flower into a brooch or crochet hair clip.

Make your own Crochet Cotton blooms in any natural yarns of your choice. Create the fluffy cotton ball bloom easily with yarn and a wire brush.

How to Assemble Cotton Flower

Cut a piece of florist wire 50cm, thread it through the bottom of the flower bloom (as shown below), once half way fold the wire in half creating a double stem. Next thread the stem through the center of the magic circle of the sepal.

Thread the long tail of the sepal onto a tapestry needle. Weave the needle through a long sepal from the back loops (as shown in the photo),

Thread the needle into the center of the flower bloom to the bottom (creating a divide in the bloom), continue pushing the needle through the magic circle of the sepal. Once again weave the needle through the next long sepal and thread into the center of the bloom and back down to the center of the sepal. Repeat this process until all 5 long sepals have been sewn creating 5 segments within the cotton bloom. Once finished used the remaining yarn to wrap around the stem to your desired length. Fasten off and weave in your ends, you can add an optional dab of glue at the end to secure your yarn.
