free crochet pattern: Carnations
It’s Donationware time again! Put a smile on someone’s face with my new Carnations pattern:
Beautiful, realistic, and so easy, you can crochet a pretty one-piece carnation in minutes – and I bet you won’t be able to stop at one!
Here are some ideas for use:
- Use the optional stem instructions to create a bouquet or vase of carnations
- Stitch a pin to the back of a carnation to make a pretty brooch or buttonhole
- Accessorize a bag by sewing on a couple of carnations
- Sew or glue one or more carnations to a hair clip or plastic hairband
As I like to reward people who chose to donate for my donationware patterns, the PDF version of this pattern includes additional assembly photos and a special technique for fastening off the yarn neatly at the base of the stem. As always, the pattern is free for you to use, and you need only donate if you’d like to thank me for my time in creating it, or if you’d like the easy-to-print PDF version.
I hope you enjoy my pretty Carnations pattern!

I love these carnations – they’re really lovely and beautiful. I’ve made a couple and have now bought some pink yarn to make some more. Can’t wait!
Thanks, June, for a great pattern.
Love, Lindy xx
