To me, this is the most well-designed and elegant crocheted custom flower. With five overlapping petals, the blush on the petals, pink edging, and the yellow centre, it seems to be inspired by the Sakura.
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 a little 3D. Such a look can’t be acheived other way. Will you crochet it?
Suggestion #6: Crochet A Sunflower Charm (Version 3)
With the two layers of petals, puff stitch, hanging stitch, and small sunflower applique, this version of the sunflower charm is truly unmatched. If you are a beginner, I recommend staying with the first two versions.
This can also be turned into a small sunflower coin purse. Even as a bag charm, it is kind of overly detailed (in a positive way). So, you will love crocheting it.
Suggestion #7: 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, zig-zag sideways. 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 like bouquet coaster.

Suggestion #8: 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 color of tulip, like red and purple.
The on-screen instructions in the tutorial use the chart symbols like x for single crochet, along with English abbreviations.
So, all of you can follow along. As it turns out, the pattern is basic. With that said, you have to 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.
