Crochet Anemone Flower | Free Crochet Pattern

This week I am going to be showing you how to make a crochet Anemone flower. Anemones are one of my all time favourite spring flowers. I have actually only ever bought these once in my life, as I was drawn to there wonderful bright contrasting colours. I did not actually know what they were at the time until my Nana told me, but I do know the few days I had these gorgeous flowers I smiled every time I looked at them.

This is the second pattern in a series of FREE CROCHET FLOWER patterns I will be sharing with you as we all try to stay indoor with our loved ones through the coming days & weeks. Now Pod has a new flower to her to her small but growing crochet flower shop which she seems to be enjoying as we stay home & safe.

My simple step by step written photo tutorial is below or if you prefer a video tutorial, I have also made a Youtube video.

Materials

• 75 meters of dk cotton yarn ( or any yarn from your stash)
• 30 meters Black DK cotton yarn
• 10 meters of contrasting yarn or white if you are making white Anenome
• 2.2mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• 50cm florist wire
• Cutting pliers

Gauge: N/A. Use the smallest crochet hook you can with your chosen yarn to create tight stitches, this will help your petals keep the form & not flop.

Size: With my dk yarn & 2.2mm crochet hook my Crochet Anemone flower is 12cm in diameter.

Notes: The petals are worked individually then attached in sets of two. The Stamen & Stigma are made separately then sewn together. The wire will be attached next before the final assembly of all the pieces.
