Bloom – Embroidery Hoop Crochet Flower

April 26, 2021 by Julie 5 Comments

'Bloom' Embroidery Crochet Flower Hoop

Is it weird to have favorite words? I really like the word bloom. I like that it can be a thing when referring to an actual bloom or flower. And I like that it can be an action, watch the flower bloom. Or watch the person bloom. Similarly, I also like the word blossom.

I think I very often think of it in regards to people, or myself. That idea of ‘bloom where you are planted’. I want to bloom. I want to grow. And I want to encourage others to do the same.

When the weather is warm it’s hard for me to get excited about knitting/crocheting hats, scarves, and gloves. But I can certainly get excited about crocheting flowers. Crocheting a bloom if you will.

This particular bloom has 6 petals. You start with a magic loop and within that loop create the first 6 petals. After that first group of petals you work the rest of the flower from the backside adding additional layers. I used extra bulky yarn for this flower and it is pretty big (and heavy).

When the flower portion itself was finished I added some buttons to the center (I just attached them with hot glue).

I wanted this bloom to be one that I could hang on the wall. So I paired it with this yellow duck cloth. I lightly sketched the word bloom with pencil on the cloth and then put the fabric in an embroidery hoop larger than my finished flower. With a pretty pinkish/purple embroidery thread I stitched the word bloom onto my fabric. I really like how the two colors look together and with the gray bloom.

Once the embroidery was done I could add my flower to the hoop. I stitched my flower onto the yellow fabric to make sure it was stay (remember I said it was heavy). Then I finished off the back of my embroidery hoop. I also added some glue around the edge of the hoop to help keep the fabric from slipping due to the weight of the flower.
