I crocheted my first flower when I was a little kid, over 10 years ago. Over the years I’ve made everything from shirts and blankets to little crochet animals, but I always come back to flowers. I use my crochet flowers as decorations and have little crochet bouquets all around my house. Lavender is one of my favorite flowers to crochet because they’re cute, beginner-friendly, and much quicker to make than most other flower patterns.

In this article, I’ll show you exactly how to crochet your own lavender flower with a full step-by-step breakdown you can follow. You’ll also learn what materials you need, the basic techniques, why crochet flowers are having a Gen Z revival, as well as what makes this trend such a fun, easy way to get into crocheting. I also made a TikTok tutorial showing the full process, so you can follow along.🌸

Jump to Each Step
Step 1: Materials	Gather your yarn, hook, glue gun, and a stick or wire for the stem
Step 2: Make your base	Chain your base (around 58) and work back using double crochets, chain 3, and slip stitch to start shaping the flower
Step 3: Make the petals	Add petals by chaining 7 (or more), slip stitching into each stitch across, and tie off at the end
Step 4: Make the stem	Wrap green yarn around your stick or wire to make the stem and glue it in place
Step 5: Glue it all together	Glue the flower strip around the stem by wrapping it in a spiral until it’s fully attached

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

To start your lavender crochet flower, you’ll need just a few basic materials, most of which you probably have if you already crochet.

Here’s what I use (but feel free to switch it up depending on what you’ve got or how big you want your flower to be):

• Purple yarn – I use regular acrylic yarn, but any type of yarn will work for this project
• Green yarn – for wrapping the stem
• Crochet hook (I use a 4mm) – but honestly, any size is fine. A smaller hook makes a tighter, more compact flower, while a bigger hook gives you a looser, longer result
• A stick or piece of thick wire – this becomes the stem you’ll attach the flower to
• Hot glue gun – to assemble everything at the end

That’s literally it. No sewing, no special tools, and no stress. Just a few supplies and you’re ready to start crocheting. And if you don’t already have this stuff, you can get most of it at your local Target or even a dollar store.

Step 2: Chain Your Flower Base

Start by grabbing your purple yarn, this is going to form the actual flower part. You’ll want to chain¹ around 58 stitches, but honestly, the number doesn’t have to be exact. If you want a longer, fuller lavender flower, chain more. If you want a tiny one, chain less. It’s totally up to you.

Once you’ve chained your length, you’re going to work back across it to start shaping the base of the flower. Skip the first three stitches, and then do a double crochet² into the fourth stitch.

In that same stitch, you’ll do three more double crochets, so four total, all in that one spot. Then, still in that same hole, chain 3 and slip stitch³ to secure it.

Step 3: Add the Petal Loops (Slip Stitch, Chain 7, Slip Stitch)

Jump to Each Step

Now you’re going to add the loops that give your lavender its shape.

Slip stitch into the next hole after your cluster (Step 2), then chain 7 and slip stitch back into the same stitch to form one loop.

Repeat that in the next stitch: slip stitch, chain 7, slip stitch then keep going all the way down the row. You can adjust the number of chains depending on how big or small you want your petals.

Once you reach the end, tie off your yarn. That’s it, your flower strip is done and ready to assemble.

Step 4: Make the Stem

Jump to Each Step
1	2	3	4	5

Now to make the stem. Grab your stick or wire and glue the end of the yarn to the top of the stick. Let it dry for about 10 seconds so you can get some tension when you start twisting.

Once it’s stuck on, wrap the yarn around the stick fairly tightly. Keep going without leaving gaps, and when you reach the other end, glue that down too.

Step 5: Attach the Flower to the Stem

Jump to Each Step
1	2	3	4	5

Now grab the purple flower piece you made earlier. Find the flat edge where you first chained, that’s the side you’ll glue.

Starting at the top of the stem, glue one little section at a time and wrap the flower strip around in a spiral. Keep adding glue and wrapping as you go until the whole thing is attached.

That’s it! You just made a crochet lavender flower. 🪻💐🌹🌻

What Techniques Do You Need to Make a Crochet Flower?

You Only Need Three Crochet Techniques to Make a Lavender Crochet Flower: Chain Stich, Slip Stich & Double Crochet

This pattern is super beginner-friendly. You really only need to know three basic crochet techniques, and the rest is just wrapping and gluing. Using a hot glue gun instead of sewing everything together makes this way easier than most traditional patterns.

Before you do anything, you’ll need to start with a slip knot on your hook, that’s how every crochet project begins. From there, you’re ready to learn the stitches.

• Chain stitch (ch): After your slip knot, yarn over (loop the yarn over your hook) and pull it through the loop. That’s one chain. You’ll use this to make your starting chain and the loops in Step 3.
• Slip stitch (sl st): Insert your hook into a stitch, yarn over, and pull straight through both loops. This connects stitches without adding height. You’ll use it to finish off your clusters and make the petals.
• Double crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through the last two. It sounds like a lot, but once you do it once, it clicks. This is what creates the little flower cluster in Step 2.

If you want a deeper breakdown of how to do each stitch and more, this guide from The Spruce Crafts is super helpful for beginners.

If you can do these three techniques, you can totally make this flower. No sewing, no reading complex patterns, just follow the steps and glue it all together.

Is It Easy to Make a Crochet Flower?

Crochet Flowers Sound Hard, But They Don’t Have to Be

This lavender pattern is one of the easiest crochet flowers to make it’s fast, simple, and doesn’t need any stuffing or shaping. That’s why it’s a perfect first project if you’re just getting into crochet or want something cute that actually looks good when it’s done.

Once you learn the techniques in this one, you can level up to flowers like roses, daisies, sunflowers, and more. A lot of them reuse the same stitches, or just add one extra step or material like wire or stuffing. Once you’ve made one, the rest feel way less intimidating.

Why Gen Z Is Getting Into Crochet

Over 70% of Crocheters Are Now Gen Z and We Love It

Crochet fits into everything Gen Z cares about right now. It’s creative, aesthetic, and a little nostalgic in the best way. During lockdown, a lot of us tapped into our creative side as a way to de-stress and disconnect from screens. Crochet stuck because it’s easy to learn, low-cost, and you get something cute and personal at the end.

According to an article from LVA Accolades referencing Crochet Penguin, the number of people who crochet has grown by over 200% in the past two decades, and now “73% of crocheters are between 18 and 34″. What used to be seen as a grandma hobby is now part of the Gen Z crochet trend that’s blowing up on Instagram and TikTok.

Here’s the full Roblox Grow a Garden flowers list, with all flower types, how to get seed packs, and the secret to unlocking rare flower mutations.

All Grow a Garden Flowers in Roblox

Grow a Garden Flowers List

Sheckles is the Grow a Garden currency. It’s what you use to get flowers and other things in the game. The table above shows all the Grow a Garden flowers with their price, how to buy them, and their availability.

How to Get Every Grow a Garden Flower and What They’re Worth

Getting Flower Seeds from the Seed Shop

As of September 2025 (Fairy Event), the only flower seeds in the Seed Shop are the four shown in the table above. Besides flowers, the shop also rotates in random items like bamboo, trees, fruits, and more. The shop refreshes every 5 minutes and the stock changes at random, so items may disappear for a while but eventually come back. Broccoli can also appear, but only after completing Garden Ascension and feeding Sam.

Unlocking Flowers with Special Seed Packs

Seed Packs are bought with Robux. When you buy one, it shows you a preview of what seeds are inside and the odds of pulling each one. You still only get one seed per pack, but at least you know what’s possible before opening it. The seeds from these packs are usually exclusive and not found in the Seed Shop. They also rotate, so some are only available for a limited time depending on which Seed Pack is in the shop.

Other Ways to Collect Flowers in Grow a Garden

Besides the Seed Shop and Seed Packs, there are a couple of other ways to get flowers. Trading is one, you’ll need a Trading Ticket from the Gear Shop, and then you can swap with other players for stuff you don’t have. Crafting is another. Right now, you can make the Veinpetal by mixing an Orange Tulip Seed, a Daffodil Seed, a Beanstalk, a Burning Bud, and 650,000 Sheckles. There’s also the Summer Seed Merchant, which is one of the Roblox NPC shops that shows up about every 4 hours and has its own set of seeds. These extra ways change with events and updates, so it’s always worth checking back.

How to Grow Flowers in Grow a Garden

Flowers in Grow a Garden grow just like most other crops in the game. You:

• plant them
• water them with a sprinkler or watering can from the Gear Shop to speed up the process
• wait for them to grow
• harvest them
• and then sell or trade them

The catch is that flowers are almost always single harvest. Once you collect them, they’re gone and you’ll need to replant if you want more. There are a few exceptions, like the Ember Lily, which can be reharvested a number of times.

How to Get Flower Mutations in Grow a Garden

Flower mutations in Grow a Garden happen randomly, usually during special events or weather changes. Rain can make plants wet, lightning can strike them, and during the current Fairy Event they can become “shimmering” flowers once every hour. There are heaps of mutation types like silver, frozen, chilled, brainrot, windstruck, and more. You can also have multiple mutations at a time on flowers and crops. Some mutations speed up growth while the event is active, but the main thing is they make your crops worth more when you sell them. Mutations work the same way across all crops, so flowers aren’t treated any differently when it comes to how they change.

Events aren’t the only way mutations happen. Some pets, like bees and wasps, can trigger pollen mutations while they’re active, or lemon lion which can give the brainrot mutation, which gives another way for flowers to change. Pet mutations work the same as the others, giving you flowers that are rarer and more valuable. Advanced sprinklers (and anything better) from the Gear Shop can also increase your chances of getting a mutation.

Grow a Garden Flowers Explained

Having a flower-type plant doesn’t really do anything special, since you can still get the same mutations and grow them the same as other crops. The only real difference is that a lot of flowers aren’t multi-harvest, however some are.

Understanding the different flowers in Grow a Garden helps you know which ones are worth buying, since higher prices usually mean better value. Flowers are a smart choice over other crops because they sell for good money, grow at different speeds (with some like tulips being cheap and quick), and they make your garden look ✨aesthetic✨.
