Pattern 1: Mini Crochet Daisy Hair Clip

Skill Level: Beginner–Intermediate (basic shaping and sewing)
Finished Size: Approximately 2 inches in diameter (adjust by changing hook size or yarn thickness)

Materials:

• Light weight or sport weight yarn in white (for petals) and yellow (for center)
• Crochet hook size 3.0 mm
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Metal snap clip or alligator clip
• Hot glue or fabric glue for attaching the flower

Notes:

This simple daisy hair clip uses two main colors — yellow for the flower center and white for the petals. You can easily adjust the size of the daisy by using thicker yarn or adding extra petals. Each petal is worked directly around the center ring, creating a smooth, rounded flower that holds its shape well on a clip.

Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Center of the Daisy

1. Begin with yellow yarn and make a small magic ring.
2. Insert your hook into the ring and chain 2 (this will count as your first half double crochet).
3. Work 9 more half double crochet stitches into the ring, so you have a total of 10 half double crochet stitches.
4. Pull the tail of the magic ring gently to close the circle tightly.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the first half double crochet to join the round.
6. Fasten off the yellow yarn and weave in the short tail neatly at the back of the center.

This round forms a smooth yellow circle — the perfect base for attaching the white petals.

Step 2: Crochet the Petals

1. Attach white yarn in any stitch around the yellow circle.
2. Chain 4 (this will form the start of your petal).
3. In the same stitch, work one triple crochet stitch, followed by another chain 4.
4. Slip stitch into the next stitch to secure the petal.
5. Repeat this pattern — chain 4, triple crochet, chain 4, slip stitch in the next stitch — around the circle until you have 10 petals.
6. At the end, join with a slip stitch to the base of the first petal and fasten off.

Your daisy should have evenly spaced white petals with a bright yellow center.

Step 3: Attach to the Hair Clip

1. Lay the daisy flat with the back facing upward.
2. Apply a small dot of hot glue or fabric glue to the center of your clip.
3. Press the flower gently onto the glued area and hold for several seconds until secure.
4. Allow the glue to dry completely before using.

You now have a cheerful, handmade daisy clip that adds a fresh, delicate touch to any hairstyle.

Tip:

If you want a double-layered look, make two daisies — one slightly smaller — and sew them together before attaching to the clip. This gives the flower a full, dimensional appearance.

Pattern 2: Mini Crochet Bow Hair Clip

Skill Level: Beginner (simple shaping)
Finished Size: Approximately 3 inches wide × 1 inch tall

Materials:

• Worsted weight (#4) yarn in any color (cotton or acrylic works well)
• Crochet hook size 4.0 mm (G)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Metal hair clip or barrette
• Hot glue or sewing thread for attachment

Notes:

This mini bow is crocheted in one rectangular piece and cinched in the middle to form the bow shape. It is one of the easiest crochet accessories to make and can be customized by changing yarn color, texture, or size.

Instructions:

Step 1: Crochet the Bow Base

1. Begin with a slip knot and chain 18.
2. In the second chain from your hook, work one single crochet stitch.
3. Continue to work one single crochet stitch in each chain across (you will have 17 single crochet stitches in total).
4. Chain 1 and turn your work.
5. Work one single crochet stitch in each stitch across again.
6. Repeat this process for 6 total rows to form a neat rectangle.
7. Fasten off, leaving a long tail of yarn for wrapping the center later.

You now have a small crocheted rectangle — this will form the base of your bow.

Step 2: Shape the Bow

1. Lay the rectangle flat and locate the center point.
2. Fold the sides inward slightly so the fabric gathers at the middle.
3. Using the yarn tail, wrap the center tightly several times to form the cinched bow shape.
4. Secure the wrapped yarn at the back with a knot or a few stitches using your yarn needle.

Step 3: Attach to Hair Clip

1. Position the back of the bow against your metal hair clip.
2. Apply hot glue along the top surface of the clip and press the bow in place.
3. Hold for several seconds until the glue sets.
4. For a neater finish, you can crochet a small strip (chain 8, work single crochet across) and wrap it around the center before gluing.

Your mini crochet bow hair clip is now ready to wear — soft, cute, and suitable for both kids and adults.

Variation Ideas:

• Use metallic yarn or add a small pearl bead at the center for a dressy look.
• Make a two-tone bow by changing colors halfway through the rectangle.
• Add a small crocheted leaf on each side for a nature-inspired style.

Pattern 3: Tiny Crochet Heart Hair Clip

Skill Level: Beginner (quick shaping and joining)
Finished Size: About 1.5 inches wide

Materials:

• Light or medium weight yarn in red, pink, or any desired shade
• Crochet hook size 3.5 mm
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Metal snap clip or bobby pin
• Hot glue for assembly

Notes:

This tiny heart hair clip is a quick and charming project — ideal for Valentine’s Day, gift sets, or everyday wear. The heart is worked in a single round using a magic ring technique.

Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Heart Shape

1. Begin with a magic ring.
2. Chain 3 (this will count as your first double crochet).
3. Into the ring, work the following stitches all in order:
   • 3 double crochet stitches
   • 3 half double crochet stitches
   • 1 chain stitch
   • 1 double crochet stitch (this will form the bottom point of the heart)
   • 1 chain stitch again
   • 3 half double crochet stitches
   • 3 double crochet stitches
   • Chain 3
   • Slip stitch into the center of the ring to close the shape.
4. Pull the tail tightly to close the magic ring and form a small heart.
5. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing if desired.

You now have a tiny crocheted heart that curves neatly at the top and points cleanly at the bottom.

Step 2: Attach to Hair Clip

1. Place the heart flat on a table with the back facing upward.
2. Apply a small dot of hot glue to the top of your clip.
3. Press the heart firmly onto the clip and allow it to set.
4. Optionally, you can sew the heart directly to the clip using a yarn needle for extra durability.

Finishing Touches:

You can make multiple hearts in different colors and attach them side by side on one clip for a playful look, or layer two hearts together for a fuller effect.

Tip:

To make a puffy heart, crochet two identical hearts and stitch them together around the edges, lightly stuffing the center with fiberfill before closing. This gives your clip a soft, 3D texture.

Pattern 4: Mini Crochet Butterfly Hair Clip

Skill Level: Beginner–Intermediate (requires basic knowledge of color changes and shaping)
Finished Size: Approximately 2.5 inches wide × 2 inches tall

Materials:

• Lightweight cotton or acrylic yarn in two contrasting colors (one for the wings, one for the body)
• Crochet hook size 3.0 mm
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Small metal alligator clip or snap clip
• Hot glue or fabric glue for assembly

Notes:

This delicate butterfly is created from a small crocheted circle that folds in half to form symmetrical wings. Once folded, a separate yarn strand is tied around the center to form the butterfly’s body and antennae. This simple yet clever construction makes the project fast and visually appealing.

Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Butterfly Base Circle

1. Begin with your chosen wing color yarn and make a magic ring.
2. Chain 3 (this will count as your first double crochet stitch).
3. Work 2 double crochet stitches into the ring, followed by one chain stitch.
4. Continue with this pattern — 3 double crochet stitches, chain 1 — seven times total around the ring. You will have eight groups of 3 double crochet stitches separated by chain 1 spaces.
5. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain 3 to close the round.
6. Fasten off and pull the ring tight.

You will now have a small round piece with eight chain spaces evenly spaced around the edge.

Step 2: Add the Wing Details

1. Join your second yarn color (for wing edging) into any chain 1 space.
2. In this space, work the following sequence: chain 3, 2 double crochet stitches, chain 3, slip stitch.
3. Repeat this same sequence in each chain 1 space around to create eight small scalloped edges that will become butterfly wings.
4. Fasten off and weave in ends neatly.

You now have a beautiful, lacy circle with scalloped edges.

Step 3: Fold and Form the Butterfly

1. Fold the circle exactly in half so that the scallops on one side match those on the other.
2. Cut a long piece of yarn (about 8 inches) in the contrasting color.
3. Wrap this yarn tightly around the center of the folded circle to create the butterfly’s body.
4. Tie a firm knot at the top and trim the ends to about 1 inch to form antennae.

Step 4: Attach to Hair Clip

1. Apply a small line of hot glue across the top of your clip.
2. Press the butterfly gently in place, making sure the wings are spread evenly.
3. Hold until the glue cools and hardens.

You now have a charming mini butterfly hair clip that looks delicate yet sturdy enough for regular wear.

Variation Ideas:

• Use a metallic or glitter yarn for the body to make the butterfly sparkle.
• Add small beads or embroidery details along the wing edges for extra texture.
• Try gradient yarn for a naturally blended two-toned effect on the wings.

Step 2: Arrange the Cluster

1. Lay all the flowers flat on a table and experiment with placement until you like the layout.
