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
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 ❤
As Sheila Evans said love your videos and its fantastic with no music . LOVE THIS FLOWER . I made one for a doily i made. It looks great with it . THANK YOU !! 💖 from Southern Ontario Canada.
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!!!💜💜💜
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!💐🌺🌹🌷🌼🌻🌸💖💖💖
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.
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.
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.
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!
Hi Robin .. thank you for sharing your talents with us .. this is one of the most clear cut tutorials ever .. I'm making a stuffed sun bonnet sue for my granddaughter in Perth Australia.. i shall be making this flower for the hat .. thanks again.. lotsa love from Johannesburg South Africa xxx
This is an amazing pattern I am so happy that there is no joining for the sole. Thank you so very much for sharing you are very clear and concise and I appreciate you sharing this pattern. Keep up the good work.
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! It's not as beautiful as yours,but now that I know how to do it...practice makes perfect,and I will be making more. Thank you so very much. 😊🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌹🌹🌹🌼🌼🌼🌷🌷🌷💐💐💐
I am sure if is just as beautiful, that’s the joy of handmade!😃 No ones is ever exactly the same. I am glad the video helped you and you’re right - practice pays off with crochet always.🥰🌸
I had forgotten about this gorgeous flower pattern! Thank goodness I discovered it again! I need to make some of these lovely flowers for my daughter. Robin, you’re the best!
Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful flower I crochet a hat for a new born and the flower just completed the project. You are a very good teacher. Thanks again
Thank you for sharing this easy to follow flower video. I enjoyed making it. I used both cotton yarn for centre and petals. Just literally finished making. Have a great day 😘🌹
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to show my mum how far I’ve come with crochet just watching a few of your videos! The instructions are so easy to follow, your clarity and flow is amazing. Thanks again ♥️
Hooked by Robin she started to teach me how to crochet a little while ago but I don’t see her too often, I live in central London and she lives in Surrey. I’ve learned so much watching you and it’s so nice to be able to show her what I’ve learned and teach her some of your stuff! Thank you so much! ♥️
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I tried so many two color flower patterns and was ready to give up. And while mine only came out with 5 petals, I am so excited to have a completed two color flower project.
Well thank you Robin for your video tutorial and thank you Olivia for this stitch pattern 🙂.This will look pretty on my crochet hats for my great-granddaughter (she’s 5 yrs old) and my granddaughter-in-law (her step-mother).
What a pretty flower. I have to make some of these for my granddaughter Olivia. She's nine going on twenty nine! Love her to bits. Thank you for sharing this with us. xxJane
Just wanted to add my thanks for clear succinct Instruction for the Olivia flower. Struggled with the magic ring but got there in the end. Thank you. HAPPY EASTER 2021!
Thank you Robin for your tutorials!! I’ve been getting back into crochet after a long time and your videos are by far the best I have found. So clearly understood and great video quality! Thank you and God bless!✨💚

This is lovely! I am an experienced knitter with only basic crochet skills - I was able to follow this perfectly. Using as part of a yarn bomb project for a tree. Thank you so much!
Whelp I just made my first baby blanket ( first crochet anything ) and I was looking around for a flower to make and sew onto the blanket I’m going to give this a go and see what happens because these are super pretty! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
