This crochet Magnolia flower applique is my attempt to recreate in crochet this extremely attractive flower.
In the area where I live, magnolias are blooming during early spring and catching many eyes with their large, feminine, and gentle flowers. At the end of this post, you can find the magnolia photos I took.
Magnolia flowers can be white, purple, pink, or yellow, depending on the variety. I made my flowers in soft pink and white colors. You are welcome to use any colors you would like.

Hi Olena:
The hook obviously must be very small. Is this the #6 steel hook? Very lovely. Thank you!
Yes, I made my magnolia with thread size 10 and a crochet hook 6/1.8 mm. I am glad that you like it!
