Crochet Bluebonnet MOD
Collaboration with Junebug and James and her Crochet Lavendar pattern!
Hi friends! Today, I am teaming up with Kristen to help add to her beautiful flower collection of crochet patterns. She has the Crochet Lavender Flower Pattern for sale on Etsy. I purchased this gorgeous pattern last year and saw possibilities for additional flowers.
Bluebonnets have always been in my heart since I was born and raised in Texas. The state flower of Texas, bluebonnets, bloom every Spring all over fields, pastures, and sides of highways. People often take family photos in random areas if there is a good patch of bluebonnets. It is highly discouraged to ever pick bluebonnets, especially on private land, so I thought we could make our own stems to last for years and years!
Thank you so much to Kristen for working with me on this MOD and letting us share it! Check out her shop with lots of other amazing flower patterns to create your own crochet flower bundle! If you want to crochet more Texas pride, check out my Etsy shop for more Western-style crochet patterns.

Yarn options for bluebonnets
Bluebonnets have a beautiful, rich, blue color, which is just one necessary change needed to turn the lavender flower pattern into a realistic crochet bluebonnet. The original lavender pattern uses a super bulky (size 6) weight yarn, and thankfully, there are several choices available across different brands of yarn to create your bluebonnet in a beautiful blue. I always love sharing yarn and colorway ideas, so here’s a quick list of blue, white, and green yarns that would work great for making your unique crocheted Texas bluebonnet.
Bernat Blanket in Surf
Bernat Blanket in Cobalt
Bernat Blanket in Country Blue (for a lighter looking bluebonnet)
Bernat Blanket in North Sea (if you like a variegated yarn style)
Bernat Blanket in Fern (gorgeous stem color)
Bernat Blanket in White (top petals)
Premier Basix in Denim
Premier Basix in Sage (stem color)
