The Olivia Flower | How to Crochet a Simple Flower (Easy Tutorial) 🌺 

The "Olivia" flower has been named after Olivia Fletcher; the lovely lady behind the Random Acts of Crochet Kindness project - you can learn more about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1xeT9aFT6ws.html

Out of all of the flower crochet tutorials i’ve seen, this has had the best clarity of directions, so thank you!

My sister and I made a bunch of these last year to place in the grave of our beloved cat samuel. It happened quickly and we were racing to find something to make it meaningful and less rapidly put together. This tutorial was concise, easy to follow even for a child with no previous crochet experience, and easy to understand even through tears! Today I am making even more for my lovely cat rosie who is passing later today, and I think making a bouquet of Olivia flowers will become a tradition for my family from now on. Thank you for making this lovely tutorial, it took our minds off our grief for a time and made sure our babies were buried with proof they were loved ❤

Looks even more stunning when using a fine thread and hook. Thank you you’re an angel. Also thanks for not including annoying music. 😉👏🏻

This is THE PRETTIEST crochet flower I've ever seen!!! And YOU are, hands down, my ABSOLUTE favorite you-tube-torialist of all time - and on ANY subject! If they ever come up with some kind of youtube awards, like The Grammy's or Oscar's?! Lol. I will definitely nominate you! Besides being THE best at teaching/showing how its done, you actually brighten my days which means a lot as I am homebound dealing with health issues and chronic pain. Crochet has become my #1 coping mechanism. I enjoy your voice and energy so much that sometimes when I'm crocheting something that i don't need to follow a video to be able to do, I will just let your videos play one after another in the background. Wayyy better than watching TV!!! I truly appreciate that you allow your kind, helpful & playful spirit come through in your tutorials! You are a breath of fresh air!!!💜💜💜

This is the easiest and nicest crochet flower tutorial on RU-vid. I've gone through so many that aren't good for various reasons!

I will soon have a new niece named Olivia. Hopefully, she will love this flower as much as I loved making it for her. Thanks for the excellent instructions

This is the prettiest flower I have ever crocheted and I'm crocheting since I'm 12 years old and I'm 56. Thank you I love this I'm doing several in different colors for a spring hat to put on my front door for spring n summer. Thanks so much.

What a blast! I was scrambling through my stash to find a thin cotton to covers holes in t-shirt with your flower and found a bright multicolour that is just the cutest thing ever! Thanks Robin!

Hi, I have already commented on this great video, and have just finished my 6th flower! I have found it easier to leave the magic circle slightly looser rather than straight away drawing it completely tight. It's easier to see the next chain to start the petals each time. At the end of the 6, slipstitch into first petal's chain, and finish, then tighten the inner circle right up. It's working well for me doing this.

I've only been crocheting for about a month. I made a bag that simply needs a pretty flower, wanted to buy it since I was worried I won't be able to make one. This tutorial was easy to follow, now I have made flower on my bag. Thank you

I LOVE this beautiful flower! It looks complicated but it isn’t-your instructions are so easy to follow. This may be my most favorite crocheted flower EVER!🥰❤️ Thank you.

Just wanted to share my experience with this incredible pattern that is by now engraved in me brain. 😂 I made a Sunflower one of a black core with deep yellow petals, but my absolute favorite is a Water Lily: i made a solid dark green foundation and placed another one on top of it. The top part is of a yellow core with white petals. It looks incredible!!!😍 Thank you again and again, Robin! I have not been able to stop experimenting with various colours of the core and petals, my garden is growing, but not for long. All these beautiful flowers will be given away soon!💐🌺🌹🌷🌼🌻🌸💖💖💖

Great teacher!! I watched 6 other tutorials and couldn’t do any. Then found this, AMAZING! 🤩

This is the easiest flower pattern I hv ever seen..as far as making a flower petal thanks so much for sharing this😋

Hi, and thanks for sharing this tutorial. It's so easy to follow, and listening to you as you go really helps. Nice to know where the Olivia name came from, and a lovely tribute. I have just completed 2 of these neat flowers, and did them all white, so now need 8 more for my current project. They look beautiful.

These would be great as Poinsettia for the holiday season.

This is seriously the best petal tutorial ever. The only one that has made sense to me so far from beginning to end. 😭😭😭 thank you!!!

A flower to make with my daughter Olivia. I’m trying to teach her to crochet, she is only 8 but is already making chains and single crochets. She wants to make flowers now. Here we go! Thank you so much for all your tutorials. I love the crochet and knit community on RU-vid.

I've been watching a lot of flower crochet tutorials and have been feeling stupid that I can't follow any of them till I saw your video! Thanks a lot!

This is one of the prettiest crocheted flower patterns I've seen.

Thank you so much for the great tutorial. I'm a beginner and only crochet for about a month now. And I just made two beautiful flowers. Probably will make a third by then I'll know the pattern by heart. So easy once you get it haha.

Thanks so much! This beautiful little flower will be the perfect touch on the sun hat for my daughter

Robin, I just wanted to thank you for your quality videos. I haven't picked up my hooks in probably 2 years, and I was still a novice the last time I did a project, but thanks to your amazing content and clarity I am about to completely a fully crocheted "hipster" bag for my daughter. I was able to pick my skills back up and master new ones very quickly thanks to you. Thank you!

I am totally obsessed with making this flower and have started to use them for a random acts of kindness project in my local area

I crochet chemo caps for people who lose their hair from chemo. I had a few u added the rise flower on. I cant wait to make these. Thank you

I used glitter yarn *flash it* hobbii put a rhinestone button in the centre for an ABBA hat, looks brilliant Thank You 👏🏼👍🏼👊🏼

This would make a beautiful Granny Square.

I haven't crocheted in years,but have gotten interested after watching so many great videos,especially on your channel. I'm somewhere between a beginner,and intermediate. I decided to try making this flower(because it's gorgeous),didn't think I could,but thanks to your easy to follow directions I made my first flower...YAY!
