Free Crochet Pattern: Flower Magnets
I made these a while ago and I’ve been meaning to share them with you! It’s just a simple crochet flower, but I got really into making them for a while and ended up with a bunch of them! I’ve been attaching magnets to the back and sticking them on the fridge but you could probably come up with plenty of other uses for them too! Scroll down for the free pattern!
Supplies
- Worsted weight yarn* in 2 colors
- Size G crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Magnet
- Glue
* I designed them with worsted weight yarn but they could be made with whatever yarn you like, just adjust your hook size accordingly.
Abbreviations
CA – Color A
CB – Color B
Ch – Chain
3DCTOG – 3 double crochet together
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
sl st – slip stitch
prev – previous
sp – space
invis – invisible
FO – Finish/Fasten off
Instructions
This pattern is worked in rounds, joined at the end of each round. Gauge is not important.
The 3DCTOG used in this pattern is a 3 DC cluster (see the symbol below).
Pattern
Leave a tail at the beginning (handy for closing the hole in the middle later on).
rnd 1: With CA, Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc) 3DCTOG all in 3rd ch from hook. Ch 2. [3DCTOG (all in same ch as prev), ch 2] 5 times. sl st to join to 1st 3DCTOG.
rnd 2: With CB, [1 sc, 5 dc, 1 sc in next ch 2 sp] 6 times. invis join to finish.
FO
Use your yarn needle to weave the tail you left at the beginning through the back of the rnd 1 stitches to close up the center hole and FO. Now you can glue your magnet to the back!

These are such a great idea and so cute.
Thanks! I’m just learning to crochet and this is a great project to practice with, tah =) plus it’s going to look mad on the fridge =)
I have used your pattern as a decoration on a baby hat, no idea how to get a pic to you, but you can look on my Ravelry page if you wish, and take a copy of the pic if you know how to do it :-))
Thanks so much for allowing me to use the pattern
I saw it on Ravelry! Thanks for posting a pic! Very cute hat! :)
I love these! Found them on Ravelry and have made two so far as decorations for my daughters’ hats. I posted about them here as well: http://www.justcastingon.net/?p=3869. Thanks so much for making this pattern available! :)
Thanks for sharing! Your hats are very pretty! :)
Hello! Just wanted to let you know you were featured on my blog: WouldYouLikeYarnWithThat.blogspot.com! Be sure to stop by and grab your button! I really, really like this pattern!
I don’t understand how to use the tail to close the hole in the center!
Great pattern, though! I’m making a bunch to sew on to a hat I’m crocheting :)
Sometimes just pulling on the tail will close the hole. If that doesn’t work, use your yarn needle and weave the tail through the back of the stitches in rnd 1 and then pull the tail.
I’m glad you like the pattern! Would love to see your hat when it’s finished! :D
[...] is that because I did not make a hat I looked for another cool pattern and found one for a flower (here). As is usual in my crocheting, I did not get it right the first time, but eventually I ended up [...]
My Mom made me a bunch of similar flowers recently (I don’t know how to crochet…yet) and I’ve been sewing them on tons of stuff.
My favorite is this brooch: http://www.flickr.com/photos/treadinglively/5597006496/
Thanks for posting this pattern, I’m going to try to make these as well!
