Today I am sharing with you my Crochet Water Lily Flower Pattern to celebrate all of those born during July. The Larkspur flower symbolizes purity, calmness, and spiritual connection. These gorgeous flowers bloom from a single stem which is filled with layers of petals. A flower that floats above the water found in a range of whites, creams, blush pinks to vibrant fushia.
The second birth flower for July is the Larkspur flower. This bursting petaled flower symbolize positivity, love and youth. If you would like to make my Crochet Larkspur Birth Flower click HERE.
This is a more advanced 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.
My free pattern includes the step by step tutorial to crochet the flower. If you would like to support me to continue creating FREE PATTERNS, you can purchase the Lily Flower and Pad Crochet Granny Square PDF pattern in my Webshop or in my Etsy for only $2.99.
