Project introduction
This is a pattern overview, not a complete tutorial. It covers the free crochet flower ring designed by My Rainbow Crochet, a spring inspired piece of crochet jewelry that pairs a simple band with a layered flower. The designer created it to celebrate the season of flower fields and warm sun, and she offers the web version of the pattern free so as many makers as possible can try it. It is a jewelry scale make, so it works up fast and is ideal for trying a new technique on a small canvas.
The design suits small projects and leftover balls of cotton, so it is an easy way to use yarn scraps. It is described as quick and simple, fully suitable for beginners, and tested by the designer’s team. Alongside the written pattern, the original page includes a detailed video walkthrough. For the full instructions, visit the Original designer’s pattern and instructions on My Rainbow Crochet.
🌟 Detailed video explanations 🌟
If you learn better by watching, the original page hosts detailed video explanations that show how the ring comes together. A printable PDF version of the pattern is also offered there, reached by clicking the image provided on the designer’s page. Between the video and the written version, beginners get two ways to follow along. The video suits visual learners who want to see each stage before picking up the hook.

The material you need
Here is the complete supply checklist exactly as listed in the source. Gather everything before you begin so this small project stays quick and enjoyable from the first chain to the final join. The source keeps color choice fully open, so pick the cotton shades you love for both the band and the flower.

- Cotton thread in the colors you want
- Wool needle
- Stitch markers
- Glue or textile adhesive (optional)
Shortenings
The pattern uses a short key of standard crochet abbreviations. The definitions below keep their exact technical meaning; only the surrounding prose is new. Keep this key nearby while you read the original designer page, since the written version relies on these terms throughout.
- R: Row
- sc: Single crochet
- Inc: Increase
- Dec: Decrease
- SlSt: Slip stitch
- CH: Chain
- dc: Double crochet
- hdc: Half double crochet
- *…*: Repeat around the row
For the ring
The band starts with a foundation chain made long enough to surround your finger; the designer’s own sample used 17 chain stitches, and the count shifts with your chosen size. The chain is joined with a slip stitch, then worked in rounds of single crochet, with one round placed into the back loop only. Ends are tucked at the back. For exact stitch by stitch guidance, follow the written version and video on the designer’s page.
The base of the flower
The flower center begins with a magic ring of single crochet, followed by a second round worked into the back loop only. With the remaining threads you have two options: tuck them away and glue the flower to the band later, or keep them to sew the flower on. Because both attachment methods are given, you can choose the one that suits your tools and comfort. Check the designer’s written version or video for the exact counts before you start.
The petals
The bloom is built from two rows of petals, starting with the outer front row. Those five outer petals are formed with chains and double crochet, each one closed with a slip stitch in the same stitch, and the row is joined at the starting point before the threads are tucked at the back. The inner row adds four petals worked into the raised strands of the inner row with chains and half double crochet, finished with a slip stitch and tucked ends. This layered pairing gives the flower its full look.
Assembly
At this point you hold two pieces: the band and the finished flower. Attach the flower either by sewing it on with the remaining threads or by gluing it directly to the ring, then enjoy a pretty spring accent for everyday wear. The designer loves seeing finished makes, so you can tag @my_rainbow_crochet on Instagram or send a photo through Facebook. The pattern itself is for personal use only and may not be resold, shared, modified or published, though finished rings may be sold in limited quantities with credit to My Rainbow Crochet.
