Pink is a timeless color for gifts and decor — it reads romantic, playful, vintage, and modern depending on shade and texture. Crocheting in pink gives you instant cohesion: a small set of matching pieces (coaster + keychain + hair clip) makes a thoughtful gift, while larger items like plush toys and wall hangings add personality to nurseries or living rooms.
This collection of ten pink projects is designed so you can stitch beautiful, usable items with clear, practical instructions. Each pattern includes recommended materials, skill level, finished-size notes, step-by-step guidance (with sample stitch counts sized to common needs), plus variations and finishing suggestions so you can personalize every piece. Use soft blush for nursery work, saturated rose for statement décor, or dusty rose and mauve for a modern, muted palette.
1. Crochet Cherry Blossom Coaster Pattern
Overview
A small circular coaster with a delicate raised cherry-blossom motif in the center — perfect for tea trays, guest sets, or a coordinated table of pinks.

- 3.5 mm hook (adjust to yarn & preferred density).
- Yarn needle, scissors, optional small piece of felt for backing.
Finished size (sample): ~4.5 in (11.5 cm) diameter
Step-by-step guide (one coaster)
US terms. Work in rounds unless noted.
- Center disk: MR, R1: 8 sc in ring (8). R2: inc around (16). R3: sc 1, inc around (24). R4: sc around (24). Fasten off blush if switching color for blossom.
- Blossom petals (make 5): Join cream to one evenly spaced stitch on round 4. Ch 3, (2 dc, ch 2, sl st) into same space to form a petal arch; sl st into next chosen space and repeat until 5 petals made. Fasten off, weave tails.
- Edge rounds: With blush, join behind petals and work 2 rounds sc evenly around to expand coaster to ~4.5 in. R6 optional: shell edging ( 5 dc in one st, skip 2, sc in next ) to make a lacy rim.
- Finishing: Weave in tails. Optionally glue or sew a thin felt circle to the back for furniture protection.
Variations
- Make the petals in gradient pinks for a watercolor effect.
- Use puff-stitch petals for a more 3-D blossom.
- Work smaller 3-in versions as mug mats or larger versions for pitchers.

2. Crochet Rose Flower Pattern
Overview
A classic layered rose motif that can be used as an applique, brooch, coaster center, or stand-alone small decor accent.
Skill level: Intermediate (spiral and shaping technique)
Materials
- Fingering or DK cotton in rose pink and leaf green.
- 2.5–3.5 mm hook depending on yarn.
- Yarn needle and small button/clip if making into accessory.
Finished size (sample): 3–4 in diameter depending on rounds
Step-by-step guide (spiraled rose)
- Spiral foundation: Ch 50 (adjust for larger flower). Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook across (49 sc). Row 2: ch1, turn, sc across. Row 3: ch1, turn, sc 2, hdc 2, dc 3, hdc 2, sc 2 repeating across to begin forming petal texture — you will create alternating petal clusters along the strip. Continue 2–3 petal rounds depending on desired fullness.
- Create rose: Leave a long tail. Roll the strip tightly from one end into a spiral and sew the base together with the tail to secure. Adjust petals as you stitch to form a pleasing rose shape.
- Add backing (optional): Crochet a small circle (MR → 10–12 sc → 2 rounds sc) and sew the rose to it for a neat back that hides stitches. Attach a pin back or hair clip if desired.
Variations
- Make mini roses for a hair clip cluster.
- Crochet leaves (ch 8, sc 2, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) and tack beneath the rose for realism.
- Work in boucle or velvet yarn for a plush vintage look.
Finishing & care

- Heart motif (large single): Ch 32 (base width), Row 1: sc in 2nd ch, sc across (31), turn. Row 2: sc across. Row 3: work decrease shaping at center to form top lobes: sc to center, sl st to create curve, sc remaining — alternately use small shells to sculpt lobes. Or use established heart chart (search simple heart schematic) and translate to crochet: sc increases and decreases to create lobed top and pointed bottom.
- Panel body: Once heart outline established, embellish with concentric stripes in different pink shades using sc or hdc rounds to increase size and create a retro concentric heart effect. Work until panel reaches desired size.
- Add fringe: Chop lengths of yarn twice desired fringe length; fold in half and attach with lark’s head knots along bottom edge. For a boho look, trim fringe into a soft V-shape.
- Mount: Weave top loops behind a wooden dowel, stitch at ends to secure, and hang with cotton cord.
Variations

6. Crochet Butterfly Top Pattern
Overview
A lightweight, lacy butterfly-sleeve crop top or tunic in soft pink — summer-friendly, airy, and great layered over tanks.
Skill level: Intermediate (garment shaping and lacy stitch repeats)
Materials
- Sport or light DK cotton yarn in dusty rose.
- Hooks: 3.0–3.5 mm for gauge; stitch markers; tape measure.
- Yarn amounts depend on size — approximate 600–1000 yds for adult sizes.
Finished sizes: Provide sample for small/medium; adjust with gauge. (This section gives construction overview and shaping — for a custom fit, make gauge swatch and adjust counts.)
Step-by-step guide (construction overview)
- Gauge & measurements: Make 4-in (10-cm) square in chosen lace pattern and measure st/row count. Decide bust measurement and ease.
- Body panels: Work two identical rectangular panels for front and back in a butterfly lace stitch (V-stitches or shell mesh) until they reach desired length (crop or tunic). These are worked flat; for a crocheted top, you’ll shape side seams or leave sides open for a kimono/butterfly style.
- Sleeves: For butterfly-style sleeves, continue lace pattern beyond shoulder in a generous rectangle that wraps over the upper arm — or create separate sleeve panels and join to armholes.
- Neckline & Edging: Work a simple round of sc around neckline; add a decorative picot or scallop edge for visual polish.
- Joining: Seam shoulders and sides with mattress stitch or join-as-you-go, leaving armholes or creating slight flares for butterfly effect. Add a narrow band at hem if desired to define shape.
- Finishing: Weave in ends; block the garment to open lace and set dimensions.
Variations
- Make a crop style with tie-front instead of seamed sides.
- Use ribbon yarn for a shimmery summer top.
Finishing & care
- Cotton tops may be machine-washable (gentle). Block to shape after washing and dampen if needed.

Step-by-step guide (one mitten)
- Cuff band: Chain to desired wrist circumference (e.g., ch 30), join, and work 6–8 rounds of hdc in the round to form snug cuff.
- Hand tube & heart colorwork: Continue in rounds establishing height to place the heart (work plain rounds until you reach the start round). Then either use tapestry crochet to work the heart chart across several rounds (change colors according to pixel chart) or applique a crocheted heart later. Work evenly until approaching thumb hole.
- Thumb opening: Mark stitches for thumb opening (approx 6–8 sts). For a simple method, work back-and-forth rows across the hand area instead of full rounds for two rounds, then rejoin in the round, leaving gap for thumb. Later pick up stitches around gap and work 6–8 rounds for thumb tube.
- Top finish: Work 6–8 rounds above heart to create back-of-hand height, then finish with a neat round of sc or picot edge at top.
- Thumb: Pick up 6–8 sts around thumb opening and work a small tube (sc rounds) for 6–8 rounds; close with slip stitch or leave open depending on fit.

- Toe shaping: Decrease gently over next 2–3 rounds to create a rounded toe and closure. Fasten off and weave in ends.
- Decoration: Sew a small crocheted heart or make a tiny bow (sc rectangle, cinch center) and sew to vamp. For safety, avoid buttons or beads on infant booties; if added for photo props only, advise parent to remove before baby uses.

- Create twist: Lay rectangle flat, fold short ends toward center in opposite directions so they overlap as a twist (like making a Mobius but simpler). Cross one end over the other once and seam ends together with tidy mattress stitch.
- Finish: Weave tails, add a narrow line of back-stitch across seam for extra strength. Optionally stitch a narrow piece of elastic inside at each end before seaming for non-slip fit.
Variations
