Do you have some leftover yarn? These cute crocheted flowers are super easy and fun to make. The flowers are ready in no time, within a few minutes you have a nice decoration! Attach the flowers to your crocheted baby blanket or to a present. You can also place the flowers in a frame or string them together and make a garland. There are plenty of options for these cute little flowers, so let your creativity run wild! We have a few short patterns for you of different flowers and also a cute butterfly. We used leftovers Hoooked Eucalyps and leftovers Hoooked Soft Recycled Cotton DK, but of course you can use any type of yarn for it.
