how to crochet a lily (2 sizes with leaves) | free flower pattern + step-by-step tutorial


Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for the lily flowers I crocheted in my youtube tutorial. You can find all the materials and yarns I used here. To avoid confusion, I recommend watching the demonstrations in the video tutorial first since this written pattern is more for reference purposes rather than a step-by-step guide. 

The hand-size lily is perfect for a flower in a vase as room decor or as the statement piece in a handmade bouquet (the cutest gift ever). The smaller lily is perfect for making a DIY hair clip (just stick it onto any plain clip!) and for filling up your bouquet with different colours. 

Abbreviations:

ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet / hdc - half double crochet / dc - double crochet / tc - triple crochet / increase - 2 stitches in the SAME stitch

Hand-size Lily Petal

Make a slip knot and chain 25

Skip the 1st chain then insert the following pattern 1 stitch in each chain...

2 sc, 2 hdc, 14 dc, 3 hdc, 2 sc, 3 sc in the last chain then turn your work and insert the following pattern in the back loops of every chain, 2 sc, 3 hdc, 14 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc

Next, insert the following pattern 1 in each stitch all the way around...

Make a slip knot and chain 25

Watch how to weave in the ends, create the stamen/middle stalks, and assemble all the pieces in my video tutorial. Optionally, you can also add some shading to make your flowers even prettier with some powder blush, eyeshadow, or chalk and a brush :)
