You can use the finished flower on its own or add it to other handmade projects, such as a crochet bouquet, bag charm, keychain, or decoration.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to crochet the yellow flower center and seven individual petals, then sew everything together to create the finished flower. The pattern uses basic amigurumi stitches and is suitable for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters.

Uses

Crochet chamomile flowers are small and simple projects that don’t require much yarn, which makes them a nice choice when you have small amounts of cotton yarn left from other projects.

You can use your finished flower in several ways:

• Small home decoration
• Bag charm or keychain
• Embellishment for handmade accessories
• Part of a crochet flower bouquet
• Handmade gift

You can use different yarn weights or colors to change the size and appearance of the flower.

Materials

For this crochet chamomile flower, cotton yarn works especially well because it gives the petals a neat shape and clear stitch definition.

Yarn

• Yellow cotton yarn for the flower center
• White cotton yarn for the petals

A DK or sport weight cotton yarn is a good choice for this project. You can use another yarn weight if you prefer, but keep in mind that the finished flower size will change.

Crochet Hook

Use a 2.0–2.25 mm crochet hook, or choose a size that gives you firm, even stitches with your yarn.

Other Supplies

• Polyester fiberfill
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Stitch marker
• Sewing pins or stitch markers for positioning the petals

You only need a small amount of stuffing for the yellow center.

Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

Flower Center (Yellow Yarn)

The flower center is worked in continuous rounds using yellow yarn. Do not join at the end of each round.

Round 1:
6 sc in MR (6)

Round 2:
inc in each stitch around (12)

Round 3:
(sc, inc) × 6 (18)

Rounds 4–5:
18 sc

Round 6:
(sc, dec) × 6 (12)

Lightly stuff the center with a small amount of fiberfill. Avoid overstuffing, as too much filling can stretch the stitches and change the shape.

Round 7:
dec around (6)

Cut the yarn, leaving a long enough tail to close the opening. Using a yarn needle, weave the yarn through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches and gently pull to close.

Secure the yarn and hide the remaining tail inside the center.

💡 Tip: The center should be firm enough to keep its round shape, but it doesn’t need to be tightly stuffed.

Petals (White Yarn – Make 7)

The petals are worked separately and then sewn around the yellow center. Making each petal individually gives the flower a fuller, three-dimensional look.

Round 1:
6 sc in MR (6)

Round 2:
inc in each stitch around (12)

Round 3:
(2 sc, inc) × 4 (16)

Rounds 4–6:
sc in each stitch around (16)

These rounds create the main length and shape of the petal.

Round 7:
(2 sc, dec) × 4 (12)

Round 8:
(1 sc, dec) × 4 (8)

Closing the Petal

Fold the petal flat and crochet 4 sc through both layers to close the bottom edge.

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

Repeat the same steps until you have 7 petals in total.

Assembly

Once all seven petals are finished, arrange them evenly around the yellow center.

Before sewing, place all the petals around the center and adjust the spacing until the flower looks balanced. You can use sewing pins or stitch markers to hold them temporarily in place.

Using the long yarn tails, sew the bottom of each petal securely to the yellow center. Position the petals evenly around the yellow center, keeping the stitches small and neat.

Continue around the flower until all seven petals are securely attached.

Shaping the Flower

After sewing the petals in place, gently arrange them with your fingers. You can leave them slightly curved for a softer, more natural look, or flatten them gently for a more traditional chamomile shape.

Avoid pulling the petals too tightly while sewing, as this can cause them to bunch together.

💡 Tip: Check the flower from the front before hiding the yarn tails. Small adjustments at this stage can help make the petals look more evenly spaced.

Ways to Use Your Crochet Chamomile Flower

You can use the finished flower as a small handmade decoration or add it to other crochet projects.

Crochet Bouquet

Make several flowers and combine them to create a simple everlasting bouquet. You can sew them together or attach them to floral wire for a more traditional flower arrangement.

Bag Charms & Keychains

Add a small keyring or lobster clasp to turn the flower into a cute bag charm or keychain.

Home Decor

Use individual flowers to decorate baskets, cushions, wall hangings, or small seasonal displays.

Hair & Accessories

Attach the flower to a hair clip, headband, or another handmade accessory.

Handmade Gifts

A few crochet chamomile flowers can make a sweet addition to a handmade gift or gift wrapping.

You can also experiment with different colors and yarn weights to create flowers in different sizes and styles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why are my crochet petals curling?

Petals can curl when the stitches are worked too tightly. Try using a slightly larger crochet hook, or gently shape the petals with your fingers after finishing them.

Can I make more than seven petals?

Yes. You can make 8 or 9 petals if you want a fuller flower. Just make sure to space them evenly around the yellow center.

What yarn works best for this crochet flower?

Cotton yarn is a great choice because it gives the petals clear stitch definition and helps them hold their shape.

Can I make the flower smaller or larger?

Yes. You can change the yarn weight and hook size to adjust the finished size. Keep in mind that this will also affect the amount of yarn and stuffing needed.

Is this crochet chamomile pattern beginner-friendly?

Yes. If you are comfortable with basic stitches such as single crochet, increases, and decreases, this project is suitable for confident beginners.

You only need a few simple supplies to make this little rose keychain.

Yarn

• Pink or red cotton yarn for the rose petals

Amigurumi Rose Keychain Pattern

Rose Petals

The rose is made from a crocheted strip that is rolled and stitched into a flower shape.

Using pink or red yarn:

Row 1: Chain 36.

Row 2: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) across. Repeat the 5-stitch sequence 7 times to create 7 petals.

You should have 35 stitches at the end of Row 2.

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

Shaping the Rose

Starting at one end, gently roll the crocheted strip inward to form the center of the rose.

Continue rolling the strip until you reach the end. Adjust the petals as you go so they spread naturally around the flower.

Using the long yarn tail and a yarn needle, sew through the bottom of the rolled flower several times to hold all the layers securely together.

Take a moment to adjust the petals and make sure the rose keeps its shape before trimming the yarn.

Green Sepal

The green sepal is crocheted separately and sewn to the bottom of the rose.

Using green yarn:

Round 1: MR, 5 sc (5)
Round 2: 5 inc (10)
Round 3: (Ch 5, sl st in the next st) × 5 (5 pointed sepals)

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing.

Place the sepal underneath the rose and sew it securely to the bottom. Arrange the five pointed sections evenly around the base of the flower.

Shaping Note

After crocheting the five pointed sections, arrange them evenly beneath the rose. Sew the sepal securely to the bottom of the rolled flower, making sure the green points remain visible around the base. Adjust the placement before fastening off completely.

Attach the Keychain Ring

1. Position the keychain ring near the base of the rose, above or beside the green sepal.
2. Cut a short length of strong yarn and thread it through a yarn needle.
3. Pass the yarn through a firm section of the sepal and around the keychain ring several times.
4. Stitch through the crochet fabric securely, avoiding loose loops that could catch on the ring.
5. Tie off the yarn and weave the ends into the underside of the flower.
6. Gently check the attachment before using the rose as a keychain or bag charm. If the ring moves freely or the stitches loosen, reinforce the connection before use.

Tips for a Neat Rose

• Keep the stitches even across the foundation chain so the petals have a consistent appearance.
• Roll the strip gradually, checking the shape as you go instead of tightening it all at once.
• Use sewing stitches through the base of the rolled strip to hold the layers together.
• Arrange the green sepal beneath the flower before sewing it in place.
• Weave in loose yarn ends carefully so they do not show around the base.
• Check that the keychain ring is firmly attached before using the finished piece.
