Today I am sharing with you my Crochet Aster Flower Pattern to celebrate all of those born during September. The Aster flower is believed to represent love, wisdom, and patience. These charming blooms resemble star-shaped daisies and come in a wide range of beautiful colors, making them a versatile and meaningful handmade keepsake. With their delicate petals and vibrant hues, you can crochet a single flower or create a full bouquet of asters to suit everyone.
The second birth flower for September is the Morning Glory flower. This beautiful trympet flower symbolizes love, affection life and peace. If you would like to make my Crochet Morning Glory Birth Flower click HERE.
This is an easy crochet flower pattern to create, which you can make with any yarn and a matching-sized crochet hook (although you do want to keep your stitches tight, so use the smallest crochet hook you can for your sized yarn). Depending on the size of yarn you use will increase or decrease your flower size, but I can promise they will all be beautiful. Make your Crochet Aster Flower as a single stem or create a collection to have a forever bouquet.
My free pattern includes the step by step tutorial to crochet the flower ONLY.
