Faqs Help & info
Can crochet flowers be used instead of real flowers in bouquets?
Yes! Crochet flowers make beautiful, planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives to real blooms. They never wilt and can be customized to match any style or occasion.
Are crocheted flowers washable?
Most are! Gently hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Always check the yarn type! Our flowers use cotton and cotton blends which usually hold up well.
What yarn is best for crocheting flowers?
For a clean, sculpted look, a cotton or cotton blend yarn works best. It holds shape, shows detail, and doesn’t fuzz easily. But it’s up to you as you can use any kind of yarn and see for yourself what you like most.
How long does it take to crochet a flower?
It depends on the design, but most simple flowers take 1-4 hours to complete. Complex ones may take much longer but with practice you will become a lot faster.
Do you sell ready-made crochet flowers?
Yes, but stock usually disappears after a few days. I’m working on launching a new collection of handmade flowers and bouquets. Follow kootsiko on Instagram @kootsikohandmade or join the newsletter to be notified of the next drop.
Can I request a custom crocheted bouquet?
Yes of course. You can message me with your ideas, and I’ll let you know if and when I can deliver. If your order is meant for a gift though, especially on a busy season, have in mind that I need extra time to prepare your order, as all my products are handmade.
Is it cheaper to crochet your own flowers?
Yes, especially if you enjoy crafting! You only need a few tools, yarn, and a pattern to get started, and you can make as many as you like.
What is the best crochet flower pattern for beginners?
Try the Medousa or the Forget-Me-Not pattern which are very easy. Both use basic stitches and take under an hour to make. However, most Kootsiko patterns are beginner-friendly.
Can crocheting reduce stress?
Definitely! Many people find crochet calming and meditative. It’s a creative hobby that keeps your hands busy and your mind relaxed. Read my blog on the health benefits of crocheting!
Where can I buy digital crochet patterns?
You can find all my flower patterns in the pattern shop. They’re instant downloads and most are beginner-friendly.
Can I use your patterns to make gifts or sell finished items?
Absolutely! You can gift or sell finished handmade items from my patterns. Please just credit “Pattern by Kootsiko.com” if selling online.
