How to Crochet a Flower

This crochet flower tutorial is ideal for crocheting a flower that can easily be attached to any crochet project. I am going to attach this flower to my next wine tote, but I would highly recommend this for any project where you need a quick and easy flower! This flower is adorable and would also be great as a standalone project or to use as Valentine’s day decor!
