About This Pattern
Crochet Flower Pattern: Agapanthus Flower
This crochet flower pattern is inspired by the Agapanthus bloom, often known as the African Lily. The design is worked in rounds, beginning with a magic ring, and builds up to 12 rounds to complete the flower motif. Each round develops the shape and depth of the petals, creating a realistic and textured floral look.
The tutorial includes step-by-step instructions with clear photos for every round, making it suitable even for those who are newer to crocheting flowers. With patience and a love for detail, you’ll have a flower square that looks intricate but is surprisingly fun to make.
Materials and Yarn for the Crochet Flower
For the example shown, the Agapanthus flower crochet pattern is worked using DK cotton yarn with a 3.5 mm crochet hook. The mix of light and dark purples helps highlight the flower’s natural depth, but the color choice is completely up to you.
The best part is that this pattern works well with almost any yarn type, so you can adjust depending on your project. Use cotton for sharp stitch definition, acrylic for blankets, or wool for a cozy and warm finish.
How the Crochet Flower Pattern is Worked
- Begins with a magic ring
- Worked in 12 rounds
- Builds petal detail gradually with each round
- Creates a large crochet flower square
Once complete, you’ll have a decorative motif that can be used as a standalone piece or joined with other granny squares to create a larger project like a blanket or afghan.

Techniques used:
All crochet squares are worked in the round, ensure that your final row count per side is correct or you will struggle to join your block at a later stage.
Gauge is not important, but it's best to stick to the same yarn weight and crochet hook thru-out making your squares or your squares would not match up.
Work on working on your ends, as you work your way around, this will help you at the end when it comes to finishing the blanket unless you love spending a day at least to work on loose ends.
