Simple flower

A pared-back flower with a small ring of petals, designed for beginners and for repeats where detail would be lost. Its simple silhouette stitches up fast and tiles cleanly into an all-over field. Load it in the editor to enlarge the grid, stack it into a column, or pair it with a leaf motif, then print a numbered chart or export the pattern.

Skill level: easy

Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.

Yarn and hook

Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine simple flower panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.

Project ideas

Whether you are making a spring table runner or a cushion centre, the simple flower drops in cleanly, ideal for a cottage-style piece. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.

Who it's for

A simple flower panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a flower-lover, and it fits naturally with a housewarming. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Size, printing, and scaling

At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 4.8 by 4.8 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.

Simple flower filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the simple flower pattern?

Yes. The simple flower is one of the more beginner-friendly charts here — it reads clearly and forgives the odd miscount. If you can work a double crochet and a chain, you can follow it.

What can I make with the simple flower pattern?

It works well as a single statement bloom or tiled into an all-over field — think a floral blanket square or a tote-bag panel, and it is a natural choice for a wedding accent.

Can I resize the simple flower chart?

Yes. Open it in the editor and change the grid dimensions, crop it, or tile it. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, scaling never makes half-stitches.

What yarn works best for this simple flower chart?

Use a smooth, non-fuzzy cotton in one clear colour. Thread weight controls the size — fine for a doily scale, worsted for a throw — without changing how you follow the chart.

How many stitches is the simple flower pattern?

The chart is 19 by 19 squares — 361 mesh in total, about 73 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 4.8 by 4.8 inches.
