May Crochet Flower of the Month - Lily of the Valley

 

Hello friends and followers! 

Today I want to share the May flower of the month that I hand crocheted, it is the Lily of the Valley. I stuck to my theme of using cotton yarn which is not the ideal weight used for this particular flower, but it is all in fun and for practice to challenge myself once a month to pick up my hooks and yarn! 

This pattern I found free, on Pinterest. 

Crochet April Flower of the Month - The Daisy

 

As some of you may know I am challenging myself to Crochet a flower representing each month this year.  April flower is the Daisy!

Here she is the quickly made Daisy. I found this quick little pattern on Pinterest. It didn’t have a leaf pattern to go with it, so I searched for Daisy leaves and found a free one to try, shown here. 

Want to try the leaf pattern it can be found here

Below are March and April Crochet Flowers the Daffodil and the Daisy. 

Crochet March Flower of the Month - The Daffodil

 

Here’s this months flower for my Crochet Flower of the month challenge.  I didnt have any problem finding many patterns for a daffodil but when I tried to work them up I kept running into issues, pages from the pattern missing, or the stitches just weren’t coming out right no matter how many attempts I had made.

 I finally decided I could make this flower with no pattern, just wing it as I go. I started with a magic circle in white. 

It was pretty easy to recreate what I think a daffodil may look like. I am so proud that I have completed the first quarter of this years flower challenge! 

February Flower - The Iris

The Iris is February flower of the month.

 This is my crochet Iris. I merged two patterns to achieve this. The pattern for the flower itself is from a pamphlet called 

And the stem can be found at this site for another wonderful Iris pattern to try.

Below are my two flowers so far.  

Crochet Carnations in the Monthly Crochet Flower Challenge 2024!

January, the month we ring in the new year with our resolutions that we set for ourselves. I usually stay away from setting myself up for failure. So, I will call my resolutions, challenges. I want to challenge myself this year to crocheting a flower every month. 

January's flower is the Carnation. Prior to deciding on this challenge for myself I had no idea what flower represented each month, but that will make this challenge much more fun, right? 

Top off my challenge with the fact that you will rarely ever see me purchase a pattern for something, I look for all FREE patterns to attempt and I do hope you join me on this journey. It will be fun to challenge ourselves. Crochet flowers can be used for so many fun projects, I have many on my bucket list to try. I am crossing my fingers I am able to find a link to a free pattern for every flower of the month in 2024!

She looks lovely on my kitchen table, the Homemade Snickerdoodles in the background weren't too bad either! :) 

 

 

This month's flower as I mentioned is the Carnation. I am using 100 % cotton yarn; my yarn is either Peaches and Cream or Crafters Choice brand. I decided to do this challenge on a whim, so I did not have all supplies needed from the pattern designer, like floral wire. I decided to go with one leaf. 

This pattern can be followed along easily by watching this video on YouTube at
