5 Petal Tropical Flower Crochet Pattern

I love flowers with a little dimension. This is a pattern I came up with about a year ago and use all the time. I love the overlapping petals, and the versatility of this simple little flower. It’s perfect for spring / summer and can add a vibrant pop of colors to your project!

I named it “Tropical Flower” because, to me, it looks like something you might find on a beautiful island. I’m no flower expert, so if you think this looks like a certain type of flower, let me know in the comments and maybe I’ll change the name! Until then… it lives on in my tropical imagination. 🙂

5 PETAL TROPICAL FLOWER

Notes: I used a G hook and worsted weight yarn for this flower.

– – – – – – – –

Create a Magic Circle.

Round 1: 5 SC in magic circle; join (5)

Round 2: Ch 1; 2 SC in each SC; join (10)

Round 3: *Slip Stitch into next SC; Ch 2. In same stitch, complete 5DC; Ch 2. Slip stitch into next SC.* Do this a total of 5 times, for 5 petals.

Change colors here if you are doing a 2-colored petal.

Round 4: *Slip stitch into base of Ch of next petal. SC in Ch space. 3 DC in next stitch (the first DC from the previous round); 2 DC in next; 2 HDC in next; 2 DC in next; 3 DC in next, Ch 1; SC into Ch space; Slip Stitch into base of Ch.* Do this a total of 5 times, for 5 petals.

Fasten off; weave in ends.

Center Detailing: Cut a contrasting piece of yarn about 3 feet long. Using yarn needle, sew detailing by bringing yarn up through the center, and back down through a place of your choice on the first petal. Bring yarn back up through the middle; back down through another place on the petal. Do this three times for each petal. (I like to make the center detail of each petal reach a little higher than the two on either side of it.) Fasten off and weave in ends. Finish with a button or other embellishment.

Here are a few variations of the Tropical Flower:

    Very clever! I have been looking for a pattern like this….Except for the rounded petals, instead of pointed petals, it reminds me of a beautiful Plumeria tree blossom. Your pattern could easily be altered to add the pointed petal! Thanks so very much!

      I love your flowers, and especially this one. I call it a Pansy.
      thanks for you talent.

    I’ve been getting more and more into crochet projects and I was curious about one of your do nots. Specifically the one stating do not make a tutorial video of this pattern. You said that this would hurt a designer. Could you please tell me how it would hurt? This is not out of sarcasm or anything but genuine curiosity. Also, do you have any advice for someone trying to learn to create their own patterns?
    I appreciate you taking the time to educate me on these matters! I love this pattern, thank you for making it and sharing it with us all!

      Sure! They only hurt designers when other people make and publish them. Those of us who offer free patterns do so because we make our income from ad revenue on our blogs. If you can make my original patterns without actually visiting my blog (such as via someone else’s YouTube video), then you’ve cut off my income stream and my motivation to release patterns for free. A lot of people think we give out free patterns out of the goodness of our hearts, when really, we do it because it’s a win-win for both of us; you visit our blog at no cost to you, and we make money. 🙂 ? I do have a YouTube channel with some tutorial videos, but those are monetized, meaning the ad revenue from the videos comes back to me. A lot of people make tutorial videos for other people’s patterns thinking they’re ok as long as they link back to the original pattern, but statistically, it is a tiny, tiny percentage of visitors who actually follow that link back to the original blog. (Why would they if they can make the entire pattern from the video?)

      I hope that helps! ?:)

    Hi Rebecca!
    Thank you for this lovely tropical flower & easy-to-follow pattern. Just made my first one today. I love hibiscus but mine looks more like a pansy; still pretty.. 🙂
    Can’t wait to show my girls & I know there will be orders for more 😀

    Thanks for your lovely pattern! I’m trimming a hat and your design came out exactly what I wanted. I used red for the magic ring, vermillion for the 10 sc around, and yellow for the petals. Yellow hibiscus, state flower of Hawaii for a Hawaiian baby!

      Yes, you are very welcome to sell what you’ve made from my patterns. Please see the “Pattern Permissions” at the bottom of the pattern (just above where the comments begin) for more details about what you can (and cannot) do. Thanks!

    I’ve used this pattern making it in different sizes and colors to embellish barrettes and headbands for my granddaughters. Any combination of odd numbers seems to look best to my eye. Learning the “magic circle” from your site is the best crocheting tip I’ve EVER learned!
