This simple crochet flower can be used for many things and it is so easy to make! I made some for the market bag that I am releasing when I have everything ready. The marked bag looked a little boring, so I decided to make something to make it more interesting.

These little flowers have 6 pedals but you can easily adjust that by adding more or less single crochet in the first round. However, I recommend you to make a flower following the pattern before you start experimenting. Especially if you are a beginner.

The marked bag looks so much better with these flowers, I find! Such a fun and quick summer project too!

For me, crocheting is something that I do all year long. How is it for you? Tell in the comments below. Are you a summer or winter/fall crocheter, or do you only crochet during the colder months? If you do crochet in the summer, what kind of projects do you make? Tell us, we wanna know!

I prefer to make small and light things. It can be warm to work on a big blanket during the summer months.
