Originally I came up with this delicate crochet flower design to sell at craft fairs and farmers markets. People are always looking for a deal, and with how quickly these flowers are to crochet, you can easily make a large variety of hair clips in all kinds of colors!

#10 Crochet thread is excellent for using to make flowers because of how delicate and pretty they turn out to be. You will need to use a small 1.5mm steel hook for this project, but if you are brave you could even try making this in #20 or #30 thread and an even smaller hook. The choice is completely up to you!

Small, Delicate Flower Clip Crochet Pattern (US Terms):

Leaving a 12″ tail for sewing on bead and attaching flower to bobby-pin or hair clip,
Round 1:  ch 6, join to first ch with sl st forming ring. Note: You may use magic circle for this step instead if you prefer.
Round 2: sl st into ring, [ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, sl st into ring] 5 times, final sl st counts as join. (5 petals)

Turn flower over and work at the back of the piece,
Round 3: working behind petals from round 2: ch 1, sl st into back of first petal, [ch 4, sl st into back of next petal] 5 times, final sl st counts as join. (5 ch-4 sps)

Turn flower back over so front side is facing,
Round 4: *sl st into ch 4-sp (ch 1, dc, 4 tr, dc, ch 1, sl st); repeat from * around, final sl st counts as join. (5 petals)

Fasten off and weave in center end.

Using 12″ long tail, sew a bead in the center of the flower, and use the remaining length to sew the flower to the bobby-pin. You may use hot glue to attach the flower to the pin or a hair clip if you prefer.
