Celebrate Spring with this easy crochet cherry blossom flower pattern. Each flower takes only a few minutes to crochet and can be used for decor, garland or an accent on another piece.
I am just loving how Colorado is officially thawing out right now and the trees are giving birth to a new set of gorgeous flowers for the season.
And while the warmer weather is great for playing outside and collecting freckles, it’s not the best for crocheting chunky cowls and afghans. That’s where this mini flower pattern comes in.
This crochet cherry blossom pattern is a perfect lightweight project that won’t make you sweat up a storm while you’re working on it.
Since this is a very basic crochet flower pattern, you can change up the colors and yarn weight and use it for a lot of different projects. I used a fingering weight cotton yarn for the flowers and some leftover bright pink sock yarn for the accent color. You could really use any yarn you have though and just adjust the hook size accordingly.
I think it'd be lovely to string a bunch of blossoms together to make a springtime garland or a flower headband. (If you’re into headbands--check out my free flower headband pattern and my free “Aspen Socialite” headband pattern!)
I decided to attach mine flowers to a fallen tree branch to make a little minimalist Spring decoration. To attach the crocheted flowers to the branch, I just wrapped a small piece of double-sided tape around each spot where I wanted a flower to go. This way, I’ll be able to remove the flowers and re-use them when inspiration strikes.

FINISHING
Using a tapestry needle and the accent color, embroider lines as pictured from the middle hole of the flower out the petals. To make your flowers look even more polished, block them by spritzing them with a spray bottle, adjusting each petal as you'd like and then letting them dry.

Love this little tree! I'm in Colorado too, and I totally agree about the weather: not quite warm enough for tank tops but definitely not scarf weather 🙂

Hey Clarissa!
I love meeting a fellow Coloradan! I guess it's "crochet cherry blossom weather" around here these days, huh? 🙂
Thanks for saying hi!

Jan says
I can't wait to give this pattern a try! I wonder if these flowers are small enough to use as a border on a dress for my granddaughter. They are so pretty!
Lori says
Thank you so much! With two granddaughters I am always looking for ideas that won't take me all year long to create something meaningful that they can enjoy!

I wonder if these would stop the birds eating my cherries off the tree ... it's coming in to petal dropping time here in England. These are so cute.

I love these! I'm not the most experienced at crocheting, but have made several afghans. I'm not sure what a "magic ring" is to start. Is there some place I can go for some instruction on the different stitches?
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Hey Melissa,
Mooglyblog.com has great videos explaining a lot of these stitches. I hope to create my own videos some day too, but hers are a perfect place to start.
Happy crocheting!
Jess

Marilyn says
I love these small cherry blossom crochet flowers. I am using them to apply on a douvet quilt cover. I am using 4 ply yarn and a larger hook. These will bring my cover to life in different colors. So easy, so unique, and so pretty.
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
What a great idea Marilyn!

Hello, Jess!!
How did you get those twigs? Are they artificial from a store or are they real twigs? Also, How did you attach the flowers to the twigs?
Beautiful flowers. Great blog, too!
