My free Crochet Dogwood Flower pattern is written below with a simple step by step written photo tutorial or if you prefer a video tutorial, I have also made a Youtube video.
Materials
- 20 meters white Thread yarn ( I have used Circulo Clea yarn doubled)
- 20 meters green thread yarn (I have used Circulo Clea Yarn doubled)
- 1.25mm crochet hook
- 2mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Gauge: N/A
Size: My flowers are 4cm in diameter, leaf is 5cm in length.
Notes: The flower is created from two separate motifs which are both worked in the round. The stamen is worked using both the front and back loops of the stitches. Once the two motifs are made, they are attached together. The leaves are made individually, working down both sides of the foundation chain.

If you are unsure of any of these stitches, there is not need to worry, as I have made easy to follow crochet stitch videos for you below.
