 I also have created  a series of  crochet flower patterns that you can make and create a crochet flower bouquet 

I have created an easy-to-crochet hydrangea pattern and included step-by-step instructions on how to create the full bloom. 


You will need some fine plastic coated wire to be able to create the blooms.

Here are several other free crochet flower patterns that were included in the winner’s flower bouquet

The hydrangea flower heads are made up of several individually created flowers.

What do Hydrangea flowers and leaves look like 
My inspiration came from HERE (c)

The tiny flower heads are pretty easy to crochet. Made in 4 stages for the small petals, I chose white but hydrangeas can come in several colors pinks, blue and white are the main colors 

Once you have mastered the one flower and its petals, then you just make more. 

This crochet flower is not made with a magic circle, you will chain 3 to start, 
then WORK INTO The first chain you made. 

I Used a 2.5mm hook and Double knit yarn – Shop the BEST deals and Yarn sales @love Crafts HERE 
you will need some thin wire and a threading needle.
 
You will work the second round INTO the first round 4 sc stitches, It’s fiddly! 
If you want to make it larger then just find a bigger hook and suitable yarn.
