Everywhere I go, someone wants to know how I made this unique, layered crochet lotus appliqué! It’s a design rich with meaning (those unfolding petals! 🌸), but also super joyful to make. Today, I’m so happy to finally share this pattern, tips, and all the little secrets with friends like YOU!

• Crochet hook (size recommended on your yarn label—typically 3-4mm)
• Yarn needle for weaving ends

Creative Styling & Use Ideas

One of my favorite things about this crochet lotus flower pattern is how endlessly you can style it! Attach a pin back and you've got an eye-catching handmade crochet flower brooch for your denim jacket. Add a hair elastic or clip, and it becomes a dreamy crochet lotus hair accessory DIY. I’ve also used these as uplifting bag charms, statement necklace pendants, and even as decorative embellishments on gift wraps! For the ultimate spring vibe, stitch up a few in different sizes and scatter them across a blanket or pillow for a whimsical, botanical look.

Hand Trendy Pro Tips

Want to make your layered crochet lotus appliqué look super lush? Try using two shades of the same color for extra depth—work the back petals in a slightly darker shade and the top ones in a lighter, cheerful hue. When attaching beads to the center, use strong thread and secure them tightly so they don’t wobble. Blocking each petal before assembly helps your flower lay beautifully! And don’t stress about perfection—every handmade petal gives your flower its own special personality.

Matching Patterns You’ll Love
