1. Crochet Applique Flower
A bright crocheted flower is built from rounded purple petals around a contrasting yellow button center. The turquoise base and green accents make the motif especially colorful, while the layered stitches give each petal a soft, raised appearance. It would add a cheerful handmade detail to blankets, bags, hats, clothing or other projects that need a vivid floral accent.

2. Easy Flower Motif
This easy flower motif uses a clear circular construction with evenly spaced petals and a compact center. Its simple shape makes it easy to repeat in several colors, creating a coordinated group of motifs for blankets, cushions, scarves or accessories.

3. Flower Applique
This flower applique has a softly rounded petal arrangement that gives the motif a gentle, balanced look. The center creates a natural focal point while the surrounding stitches add subtle dimension.

4. Flower Applique
A full flower shape with broad overlapping petals gives this applique a generous, decorative appearance.

It would work beautifully on hats, bags, blankets, cardigans or children’s clothing where a soft floral detail is wanted.

5. Flower with Stamens Motif Applique
This motif combines a flower shape with delicate stamen-like details that extend from the center and create a more botanical appearance. The fine elements add movement and make the applique look lighter than a simple round flower. It is a lovely choice for decorating spring-themed projects, shawls, bags, garments or handmade pieces inspired by garden flowers.

The Mini Blossom Flower is a compact motif with small petals arranged around a neat center.

Different shades of green and pink can make the finished applique look delicate, fresh or playful.

9. Small Flower Applique
The Melissa Hassler flower has a clearly defined center and rounded outer petals that give it a tidy, recognizable silhouette. Its small scale makes it useful for decorating children’s accessories, hair pieces, pockets, pouches and crochet clothing. A bright center against a softer petal color can bring out the stitch definition and make the flower stand apart from the base fabric.

10. 3 Layered Flower Applique
Three distinct layers of petals give this applique a fuller shape and noticeable depth. Each round adds another outline to the flower, allowing the maker to combine several shades or keep the entire motif in one coordinated color. The finished piece is especially suitable for projects where a dimensional embellishment is needed, such as hats, bags, blankets and decorative clothing.

11. 6 Crochet Flower Applique
This project brings six crochet flower styles together in one collection, giving makers several petal shapes and centers to choose from. The variety makes it easy to create a mixed floral arrangement instead of repeating one identical motif throughout a project. These flowers can be used separately or combined across blankets, bags, hats, cards and colorful handmade gifts.
