Car Vent Clip Flower Crochet Pattern
I know that with two young men in my car on the regular, I need all the air freshening I can get. Ha! Drop some of your favorite essential oils on these flowers, pop a bobby pin through the center, and voila! Of course you could simply use them for decoration, too. 😉
These little car vent clips could be made using cotton yarn as I have done here (using remnants much less!) or virtually any scrap yarn you have on hand. The larger the yarn, the larger the flower so I would stick with a regular, worsted weight cotton (or acrylic etc) yarn so as to not obstruct too much of your vent.
For this crochet flower pattern I combined the gorgeous reverse shell border technique with a circular pattern. What results is the cutest little crochet flower you ever did see!
Note that you could continue growing the flower if you so choose. In fact, I made some larger just to see how it would work out. I was very happy with the result!
The pattern below is for the smaller (yellow) flower. If you would like a larger flower simply continue adding petals, and more frequently per row. Once you get the hang of adding the new petals, the rest is a breeze!
This pattern is the latest installment in the 2022 Car Series (a.k.a. Stitch My Ride 🤣 – thanks for that, Sarah!). See ALL of the other patterns already published right here.
For this pattern definitely use up scrap yarn first! You won’t need much…
Materials:
Cotton or acrylic worsted weight yarn (scraps from my Rose Cardi used)
Crochet hook in size 4.5mm
Bobby Pin for attaching to car vent
Gauge: Unimportant

Each petal is designed to lay behind the petal to its right (the petal just made).
This is a variation of the Reverse Shell border stitch. See a video tutorial for that here. See the VIDEO tutorial for this flower below, or on the Heart Hook Home YouTube channel!
Pattern:
Round 1: Magic Circle. 3sc in circle, ch-3, turn. Sl st in first st made. Ch-1, turn, 5hdc around ch-sp (first petal made). * 3sc in circle, ch-3, turn, sl st around post of previous petal (as pictured).

Four petals made, each nestled behind the one preceding it.
Round 2: Do NOT turn. * Working behind the petal from round 1, sc in the center sc of the base of the first petal. Ch-3, turn, sl st around the post of the previous petal. Ch-1, turn back around, 7dc around ch-sp just made. * repeat between * * 3 more times. (4 dc petals)
Round 3: * Working behind the petal from round 2, sc around the nearest post of the first petal (see photos). Ch-3, turn, sl st around the nearest post of previous petal. Ch-1, turn back around, and 9tr around ch-sp just made. * repeat between * * 4 more times. (5 tr petals)
Note! I find it helpful to mark the first petal of this row (and any other rows, if you choose to continue to grow your flower) with a stitch marker.
When finished adding petals, pull the yarn through and sew behind the next petal in line. Weave in all ends.
Ta-da! I’m so excited about these cute little vent clips. What color will you use, and will you make a small or a larger flower?
