Handmade accessories are not just fashion statements—they’re little works of art that carry your personal touch. In this tutorial, we’ll create a delicate crochet flower ring inspired by tiny blooming flowers with leaves, just like the one in the photo. This project is perfect for beginners who want to practice small, detailed crochet and enjoy wearing something they’ve made with their own hands.
The best part? You don’t need much yarn or time. With just a little cotton thread and a hook, you’ll be able to craft a ring that looks like it came straight out of a boutique jewelry shop. Whether you make it for yourself, as a gift, or even as part of a small handmade business, this project is sure to impress.
Materials You’ll Need 🧵
To make your crochet flower ring, gather the following supplies:
-
Yarn/Thread:
- Light purple cotton crochet thread (size 10 or lace thread) for flowers.
- Green cotton crochet thread (size 10) for leaves and stems.
-
Hook: 1.25 mm or 1.5 mm steel crochet hook (small enough to work with fine thread).
-
Ring Base (optional): Adjustable metal ring base, OR you can crochet a band with the same thread.
-
Needle: Small tapestry needle for sewing ends.
-
Scissors: For trimming yarn.
-
Starch or Fabric Glue (optional): To stiffen flowers and leaves so they hold their shape.
Tip: For beginners, using size 5 crochet thread instead of size 10 makes it a little easier to see your stitches, though the flowers will turn out slightly larger.

We’ll use standard US crochet terms throughout this tutorial:
- MR – Magic Ring
- ch – Chain
- sc – Single Crochet

Step-by-Step Pattern 🌼
We’ll break this pattern into three main parts: flowers, leaves, and assembly.
Part 1: Crocheting the Flowers 🌸
Each flower has five delicate petals. You can make one, two, or more depending on your design.
Round 1: The Center
- With purple thread, make a magic ring (MR).
- Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), work 6 sc into the ring.
- Pull the ring tight and sl st into first sc to close. (6 sts)
Round 2: Building Petals
- Petal Base: Ch 2, work 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc into the same stitch. Ch 2, sl st into next st.
- Rep this sequence around (5 petals total).
- FO and weave in ends.
💡 Tip: For a slightly more 3D effect, work Round 2 into the back loops only of Round 1. This makes the petals stand up.
Make 2 flowers to match the ring in the image.
Part 2: Crocheting the Leaves 🍃
Now we’ll make tiny leaves to accompany the flowers.
Leaf Pattern:
- With green thread, ch 6.
- In 2nd ch from hook: sc.
- Next ch: hdc.
- Next ch: dc.
- Next ch: hdc.
- Last ch: sc.
- Ch 1, rotate, and work along the other side of the chain: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc.
- Sl st into starting point. FO.
This makes a small oval leaf shape. Create 2 leaves (or more if desired).
Part 3: Making the Ring Band 💍
You can either crochet a band or use a metal ring base.
Option A: Crochet Band
- With green thread, ch 28–35 (depending on finger size).
- Join ends with sl st to form a ring.
- Work 1 round of sc around the band for thickness.
- FO and weave in ends.
Option B: Metal Adjustable Ring Base
If you prefer sturdiness, glue or sew the flowers and leaves directly onto a plain metal ring base.
Assembly 🌿
- Arrange your two flowers together so they sit slightly apart, mimicking natural growth.
- Place the leaves just beneath the flowers, one on each side.
- Use the green thread and tapestry needle to sew them together securely.
- Attach the completed motif onto your crochet band or ring base.
- If needed, apply a light layer of fabric stiffener or diluted white glue (mixed with water) to the flowers and leaves to help them keep their shape.
Finishing Touches ✨
- Trim all loose ends neatly.
- Gently shape the petals with your fingers.
- Let the piece dry fully if you’ve used stiffener.
Now, your crochet flower ring is ready to wear!
Tips for Beginners 🌱
- Use Stitch Markers: Since the flowers are small, it’s easy to lose track. Place a marker at the beginning of your rounds.
- Practice First: Try making a few sample petals with scrap yarn before starting the actual flower.
- Tension Matters: Keep your stitches even and not too tight. Fine thread can be tricky if pulled too tightly.
Variations 🌷
- Different Colors: Try white flowers with yellow centers, red roses, or even multicolor petals.
- Layered Flowers: Make two flowers of slightly different sizes and sew one on top of the other.
- Beaded Version: Add a small pearl or bead to the center for extra sparkle.
- Matching Accessories: Create earrings, a bracelet, or even a necklace using the same flower and leaf motif.
