Today I am sharing with you my Crochet Larkspur Pattern to celebrate all of those born during July. The Larkspur flower symbolizes positivity, good intentions, and charm. These gorgeous flowers bloom from a single stem which is filled with flower and buds. A flower that comes in a huge range of colours therefore you can crochet a flower stem to suite everyone.
The second birth flower for July is the Lotus flower. This bursting petaled flower symbolize purity, joy, and renewal. If you would like to make my Crochet Lotus Birth Flower click HERE.
This is a easy crochet flower pattern to create which you can make with any yarn and 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 sized flower, but I can promise they will all be beautiful. To create a realistic spray of flowers you will need 8 flowers, 8 small flowers, 16 buds.
My free pattern includes the step by step tutorial to crochet the Medium flower ONLY. If you would like to support me to continue creating FREE PATTERNS, you can purchase the full PDF pattern including all flowers and buds in my Webshop or in my Etsy for only $1.99.
