Simple circle brooch pattern

This is a very simple pattern to make a stylised flower brooch, using two circular pieces of crochet held together with a button.  It’s a great pattern to practice crocheting in the round and increasing.

The brooch can be made with any weight of yarn and size of button.  It’s a great way to use up small bits of yarn in your stash!

You will need:

• small amount of yarn in your chosen weight and colour(s)
• corresponding hook size for your yarn
• button
• brooch bar fastening
• yarn needle
• stitch marker
• scissors
