The Meaning Behind Popular Crochet Flowers
June 13, 2025
Crochet flowers aren’t just beautiful, they can carry special meaning too. Just like traditional flower symbolism, each handmade bloom can express a unique emotion or message. Whether you’re giving a bouquet as a gift or choosing one for yourself, knowing what each flower represents adds a lovely personal touch.
Here are some of the most popular crochet flowers and what they traditionally symbolise:
Roses – Love and Appreciation
Roses are one of the most recognisable flowers and perfect for expressing love, admiration or gratitude. Red roses represent romance, while pink says thank you and white symbolises purity and new beginnings.
Daisies – Innocence and Joy
Daisies are cheerful, simple and full of charm. They’re often linked to childhood, fresh starts and positive energy. A daisy bouquet is a sweet choice for birthdays, baby showers or just to brighten someone’s day.
Sunflowers – Positivity and Strength
Sunflowers turn toward the sun, making them a symbol of resilience and warmth. Their bold petals and sunny colour are perfect for showing support, celebrating success or sending encouragement.
Lavender – Calm and Peace
Crocheted lavender sprigs bring a sense of calm. Traditionally, lavender represents serenity, healing and grace. It’s a beautiful choice for someone going through a transition or needing a bit of peace and self-care.
Lilies – Remembrance and Renewal
Lilies are often connected to memory and renewal. White lilies can symbolise sympathy and reflection, while colourful versions celebrate growth and change. They make meaningful additions to a bouquet for milestones or remembrance.
Adding meaning to your bouquet makes it more than just decoration, it becomes a keepsake with heart. Every flower we crochet is handmade with intention, so you can give a gift that’s both beautiful and deeply personal.
