Pine cones are often used as an auxiliary in crochet flower bouquets, so you can also learn to crochet other flowers and make them into beautiful bouquets. We offer free patterns for you.

We love this for its cozy and realistic appearance that mimics the real pine cones. Its structure is alluring because it is carefully designed to shape and form real pine cones.

Shades of brown and light beige bring classic tones, and it can enhance the natural aesthetic.

Materials

Difficulty

Our crocheted pine cone pattern is at the easy level; requiring basic crochet skills. Beginners may find back loops challenging, but online video tutorials can guide you in making the pine cone. The decreases (sc2tog) requires cleverness and precision, but with patience and practice, they can be mastered.

Stitches and Abbreviations

• sc: single crochet
• ss: slip stitch
• ch: chain
• blo: back loops only
• sc2tog: single crochet 2 together (decrease)
• flo: front loops only
• dc: double crochet
• sk: skip

Special Stitches

• Blo (back loops only): This stitch is worked by inserting the crochet hook only through the back loop of the stitch, leaving the front loop unworked. Working in the back loops creates a ribbed or textured effect and adds structure to the project.
• Sc2tog (single crochet two together): This is a decrease stitch used to reduce the number of stitches. It involves inserting the hook through the first stitch, yarn over, pulling up a loop, then inserting the hook through the next stitch, yarn over, and pulling up a loop. Finally, yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook. Sc2tog creates a decrease and helps shape the project, making it narrower or more tapered.
• Flo (front loops only): This stitch is worked by inserting the crochet hook only through the front loop of the stitch, leaving the back loop unworked. Working in the front loops creates a different texture and can be used to create decorative edges or add dimension to the project.
