I am a crochet designer, macramé maker and a crafter who also loves doing MATH.
In this post, I will show you some CREATIVE ways to crochet flower charms with FREE PATTERNS. Learn with step-by-step guides for the corresponding charm designs. So, you can learn every single step, this and how to attach the keychain, too.
From a simple variation like a basic flower with eyes to a crochet flower doll, and even a bell flower ghost charm, I am pretty sure you will admire the creativity of the designs.
You can then customize the designs further to make them your own. Let’s explore the creative flower charms.
What are crochet flower charms used for?
Crochet flower charms can be used as bag charms, gift decorations, keychains and gifts themselves. You can add them to bags, zippers, curtains ties and fridge.
Are crochet flower charms easy?
Yes, many flower patterns like simple daisies and flat flowers are easy. They need basic stitches such as single crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet.
What is the easiest crochet flower charm to start with?
A basic flat daisy flower charm is the easiest. It needs a round center and repeated petal stitches, and it can be completed quickly even by beginners.
Suggestion #1: Crochet A Daisy Flower Doll
A 3D stuffed daisy is two-sided, and with the safety beads, already a kinda fun design. But this pattern will let you push the fun one step further by crocheting a low-sew amigurumi body for the daisy.
So, you will end up with an oh-so-cute amigurumi doll that’s a perfect bag charm present.
You can show the arms as the leaves of the daisy, and the body as a stem. So, it does not look awkward anywhere. Will you crochet it this spring?
Suggestion #2: Crochet A Puff Flower Charm
This 3D stuffed flower is also called the Afghan Flower. It is one of my favorite test projects for Tunisian Crochet, which is usually considered a technique for only flat projects.
Following the pattern, you will end up with a 6-petal flower charm that cleverly builds upon two flat Power Flowers.
The signature texture will look awesome when finished, and cannot be achieved with other types of stitches. Crochet it as a stress charm.

If you cannot let your obsession with flowers down, even during Halloween, crochet this ghost and bell flower bag charm. The design features a pair of Lily of the Valley flowers, or should I say the Boo Ghosts?
The overall shape of the Lilies very naturally corresponds to the Boo ghost. To add extra character, you also have to use the safety beads and sew the blush.
The loop can be knotted into a bow, which is my favorite part of this charm. Will you crochet it this spring?

This is a simple, easy, and beginner-friendly version of the crochet daisy flower charm. With that said, you have to crochet a flat 8-petal flower (again with optional safety beads) and a crochet leaf.
While the pink and yellow yarn is awesome, my favorite is still the natural white and yellow.
The petals need stitches of different heights, from single crochet to the treble crochet. That means you can crochet it quite easily.
Suggestion #5: Crochet Sunflower Charm
Let’s crochet a 3D sunflower bag charm featuring two layers of petals without any sewing. The clever design lets you crochet both sides of the centre together by working in the spiral rounds.
For the top layer, the designer worked with 10 petals, while 12 petals were used for the bottom layer so that it may stand out.
There is also a pattern for a basic leaf that works similarly to the crochet oval pattern. Wanna crochet it for summer?
Suggestion #6: Crochet Daisy Flower Charm (Version 3)
This 5-petal flower bag charm also features a loop cord, which makes it hang from a bag’s handle. The locking method is finally shown in the beginning of the tutorial as many people confuse how to attach it to the handle.
The flower needs the normal crochet round start and longer stitches to crochet the petals. You can also crochet it in Sakura colors.
What makes 3D crochet flower charms different from flat ones?
3D flower charms are stuffed, giving them a fuller and more realistic look. Examples include puff flowers, amigurumi daisies, and sunflower charms with many petal layers.
Can crochet flower charms be turned into amigurumi dolls?
Yes, some designs like the daisy flower doll will let you combine flower shape with small amigurumi bodies.
What materials are needed for crochet flower charms?
You will need yarn (cotton or acrylic), a matching hook size, stuffing (for 3D designs), safety eyes or beads (optional), scissors, and a yarn needle.
How do you attach a crochet flower to a keychain or bag?
Most designs include a crochet loop or chain cord. This loop is secured to the top of the flower and then attached to a keyring or bag handle using a simple knot or metal ring.
What is a puff flower charm?
A puff flower charm is a 3D flower you can crochet using puff stitches or special techniques like Tunisian patterns. It has a soft, cushiony look.
Can crochet flower charms be customized?
Yes, they are customizable. You can change colors, add beads, embroidery details, face, or even turn them into characters like ghosts or dolls.
Are crochet flower charms good for gifts?
Absolutely. They make gifts for friends, seasonal occasions, spring events, birthdays, and even celebrations like Halloween (ghost flower designs).
What is special about sunflower crochet charms?
Sunflower charms is the best for summer and since summer is already here, so crochet one for sure.
Can beginners make 3D flower charms like puff flowers or daisies?
Yes, but they may require a bit more patience than flat flowers. Once basic stitches are mastered, 3D designs become much easier to follow.

Work the following sequence inside the ring 5 times:

Finish with a slip stitch into the base to close the leaf.
