How to Crochet a Five Petal Flower Motif

Crocheted flowers can be added to almost any craft project to give it a finishing touch. I came up with this design to decorate my crochet covered wooden hangers. They can be added to adorn slippers, scarves, hats, or any other crochet project. Finished size is approximately 2 1/2".

Difficulty: Easy
