I am a crochet designer, macramé maker and a crafter who also loves doing MATH.
There are practically countless variations of crochet flower bag charms, whether in terms of flower type or style. But today, let me show ways to crochet the most elegant and my favorite crochet flower bag charms with step-by-step video instructions.
I have chosen two versions of the sunflower and one each for Lily of the Valley, the tulip, and Sakura.
These are small and can be crocheted in no time. You will also find out how to crochet a hanging string and leaves for them. So, celebrate the spring with these hangings.

Are crochet flower bag charms easy?
Yes, many designs such as tulips, simple sunflowers, and Sakura flowers are easy. We shall use single crochet, shell stitch, and simple tube shaping.
Pattern #1: Crochet A Bell Flower Charm
This is a beautiful flower hanging featuring two pairs of Lily of the Valley flowers, a pair of crochet leaves, and a crochet string loop. You will want to use the puff stitch for the bottom and the shell stitch for the top petals.
The arrangement should be as follows: arrange the bell flowers top down in a zig-zag style. While purple looks elegant, you can also try the bell flower in dull white, pink, and wine. You can also follow the tulip pattern to add in a flower coaster-style bouquet coaster.

Pattern #2: Crochet A Tulip Keychain Charm
Safety beads and embroidery blush have turned these miniature crochet tulips from beautiful to cute. Crochet a pair in pink and yellow or any other tulip color like red and purple.
The on-screen instructions in the tutorial use chart symbols like x for single crochet, along with English abbreviations.
So, everyone can follow along. As it turns out, the pattern is basic. With that said, you simply crochet a tube and sew the top for a tulip bloom finish.
Similarly, the leaves will be basic crochet ovals. The same can be said for the stem. Crochet them as keychains this spring for sure.
- Leaf Color: Green, Code 25
Pattern #3: Crochet A Sunflower Keychain Charm with Leaves
This sunflower charm has two crochet leaves hanging from a crochet cord, a 5-layer sunflower motif, and lace ribbon. The cord extends to the top as a loop so you can attach it to your tote bag.
That will also be a hit for wedding decorations as curtain holders and wall hangings if you make at least a pair. The back of sunflowers naturally has a sepal part, so you will need stuffing too.

Let’s crochet this beautiful custom flower with a leaf that uses the mini Sakura flower as a base. That’s why it is a 5-petal flower charm finished with two more layers of ruffled petals.
To crochet these inner petals, you have to work in the back and front loops of the stitches. Pair baby pink with hot pink or light purple with dark purple. It is quick and easy to crochet.
Pattern #6: Crochet A Custom Flower Bag Charm
To me, this is the most well-designed and elegant crocheted custom flower. With five overlapping petals, blush on the petals, pink edging, and a yellow centre, it seems inspired by Sakura flowers.
However, you can also crochet a blue version with a small leaf and a hanging loop. The crab stitch edging makes it look awesome and slightly 3D. Such a look cannot be achieved another way. Will you crochet it?
