Create Your Own Crochet Flower Bouquet

Crochet several carnations and arrange them together to create a beautiful handmade bouquet.

Try traditional pink, red and white carnations, or experiment with purple, yellow, pastels, rainbow shades and colours to match your home décor.

Mixing different shades together can create a gorgeous colourful bouquet that will look lovely displayed in a vase.

A Flower That Lasts Forever

Unlike fresh flowers, your crochet carnations can be enjoyed year after year, making them a lovely handmade gift for:

Mother’s Day • Birthdays • Valentine’s Day • Anniversaries • Teacher gifts • Housewarming gifts • Weddings • Thank-you gifts • Just because

You could give someone a single carnation or make an entire bouquet for an extra-special handmade present.

Perfect Stash-Busting Project

Have small amounts of DK yarn left over from other projects? Turn them into flowers!

The carnation petals are perfect for experimenting with different colours, while green yarn can be used for the stem and leaves.

Beautiful Handmade Home Décor

Display your finished carnations in a favourite vase to add a colourful handmade touch to your home.

Make a coordinating bouquet for a subtle look or combine lots of different colours for a bright, cheerful display.
