This crochet flower curtain brings the feeling of a small indoor garden to a doorway, window, nursery, or reading corner. A light green and cream filet valance hangs from a wooden rod, while long leafy vines fall beneath it with small white flowers and soft yellow centers.

The curtain is easy to customize because the width begins with a simple foundation chain and the hanging branches can be shortened or lengthened. The alternating vine layouts prevent the flowers and leaves from lining up in rigid rows, creating the natural cascading look shown in the finished design.

Description

The finished crochet curtain has a rectangular filet-mesh valance worked in three green rows and four cream rows. Eight matching green tabs fold around a wooden rod and hold the valance securely in place.

Eight long green branches hang from the lower edge. Each branch begins with a softly stuffed teardrop weight and includes six shaped crochet leaves. Two branch layouts alternate across the curtain so the leaves sit at different heights. Small six-petal white flowers with yellow centers are attached between the leaves, producing an airy floral curtain with gentle movement.

The sample uses a 90 cm wooden rod, an approximately 82 cm-wide valance beginning with 160 chains, eight hanging tabs, and branches measuring about 87 cm.

• Hdc in each of the next 2 loops
• Sc in the final loop

Join with a sl st to the first sc.

Return Through the Leaf Center

Work 9 sl sts through the center spine of the leaf, returning toward the branch.

Sl st into the marked branch chain where the leaf began.

The finished leaf should be pointed at both ends with a firm central spine.

Branch Type One contains:

• One teardrop weight
• 18 chains before the first leaf
• Six leaves

Branch Type Two contains:

• One teardrop weight
• 30 chains before the first leaf
• Six leaves
• 24 chains between leaves
• 12 chains after the final leaf

Alternating Type One and Type Two makes the leaves sit at different heights.

Crochet the Filet Valance

The sample begins with 160 foundation chains and measures approximately 82 cm wide.

To customize the width, make a foundation chain that fits the doorway or window. Use an even number of chains.

Using green yarn:

Foundation

Ch 160.

Ch 5 more for the turning height and first mesh space.

You now have 165 chains.

Row 1

Work 1 dc in the sixth ch from the hook.

Ch 1.

Skip the next foundation ch.

Work 1 dc in the following ch.

Repeat across:

• Ch 1
• Skip 1 ch
• Dc in the next ch

Turn.

Row 2

Ch 4.

The first 3 chains count as the first dc, and the fourth chain forms the first ch-1 sp.

Work 1 dc in the next dc.

Repeat across:

• Ch 1
• Dc in the next dc

At the end, work the final dc into the third chain of the previous turning chain.

Turn.

Row 3

Repeat Row 2 using green.

Fasten off green at the end of Row 3.

Rows 4–7

Join cream yarn.

Repeat Row 2 for four rows.

The completed valance contains:

• Three green filet rows
• Four cream filet rows
• Seven rows total
• No increases or decreases

Fasten off after Row 7.

Crochet the Rod Tabs

Make eight tabs using green yarn.

Arrange the tabs evenly across the upper green edge. The sample spaces the tabs by approximately ten top-edge mesh positions.

Each tab spans five top-edge positions and is seven rows long.

Tab Row 1

With the valance right side facing, join green yarn at the selected top-edge position.

Ch 3. This counts as the first dc.

Work 1 dc in each of the next 4 top-edge positions.

Turn.

5 dc

Tab Rows 2–7

Ch 3.

Dc in each of the next 4 sts.

Turn.

5 dc

Fasten off after Row 7, leaving a long sewing tail.

Repeat for all eight tabs.

Keep every tab attached from the same side of the valance.

Attach the Tabs Around the Rod

Place the wooden rod across the upper edge.

Fold each tab over the rod.

Align the final tab row with the base of the tab.

Using the long green tail, sew the folded end securely to the valance.

Pass the yarn needle through:

• One stitch from the final tab row
• The corresponding stitch at the tab base

Continue across all five stitches.

Knot securely and weave in the yarn.

Repeat for all eight tabs.

Check that:

• The rod slides through all loops
• Every tab faces the same direction
• The valance hangs level
• The tabs are evenly spaced

Attach the Hanging Branches

Lay the valance flat with the right side facing upward.

Arrange the eight branches below the lower cream edge in this order:

1. Type One
2. Type Two
3. Type One
4. Type Two
5. Type One
6. Type Two
7. Type One
8. Type Two

Space them evenly across the width.

The teardrop weights should hang at the bottom.

The leaves should face forward.

Using each branch’s long green tail:

1. Pass the tail through the lower cream edge.
2. Tie it securely around a stable dc or ch-sp.
3. Sew through the branch chain several times.
4. Weave the remaining tail into the green chain.

Do not attach the branches to loose chain loops alone. Secure them around the stronger dc posts whenever possible.

Attach the Flowers

Place five flowers along each branch.

Arrange them between the six leaves so the pattern reads:

• Leaf
• Flower
• Leaf
• Flower
• Leaf
• Flower
• Leaf
• Flower
• Leaf
• Flower
• Leaf

Position some flowers on the left of the stem and others on the right so the curtain looks natural.

Using the long cream tail:

1. Sew through the back center of the flower.
2. Pass the needle around the green branch chain.
3. Return through the flower center.
4. Repeat several times.
5. Secure the tail behind the flower.

Keep every flower facing forward.

Do not sew through the flower petals more than necessary.

Adjust the Flower and Leaf Direction

Hang the curtain temporarily from the rod.

Stand back and inspect the placement.

Rotate individual leaves and flowers so:

• The leaves alternate naturally
• The flowers do not form rigid horizontal rows
• Both curtain sides have similar visual weight
• The teardrops hang freely
• No branches twist backward

Add small hidden stitches where a leaf or flower refuses to face forward.

Final Finishing

Weave in every remaining yarn end.

Check that:

• The valance lies flat
• The green and cream rows remain straight
• All eight tabs are secure
• The rod is fully supported
• The branches alternate Type One and Type Two
• Every branch contains six leaves
• Each branch has approximately five flowers
• All motifs face forward
• The teardrop weights are lightly stuffed
• No loose sewing tails remain

Lightly steam or damp-block the valance if needed.

Do not press directly onto the raised petals or stuffed teardrops.

Hang the curtain and allow the branches to settle naturally.

Tips & Variations

Use cotton or a cotton-acrylic blend when you want crisp flowers and leaves. Soft acrylic creates a lighter curtain with more movement.

Add or remove foundation chains to match the width of the rod. Keep the foundation count even so the filet repeat remains balanced.

Shorten the curtain by using fewer leaves or fewer chains between leaves.

Lengthen it by adding more 24-chain sections and additional leaves.

For a denser curtain, add more branches while keeping them evenly spaced.

Use warm white petals with yellow centers for the daisy look shown here, or try pale pink, lavender, or light blue flowers.

Replace the cream valance section with white when decorating a bright, modern room.

For a child’s room, sew every flower securely rather than attaching it with glue.

The rod tabs can be widened by using more than five dc, but all tabs should use the same width.

FAQ

How do I resize the curtain for another window?

Measure the rod or opening and make an even-numbered foundation chain that reaches the required width without stretching. Work the same seven valance rows, then distribute the tabs and branches evenly.

Why do the two branch patterns begin with different chain lengths?

The first branch begins with 18 chains and the second begins with 30 chains so the leaves and flowers sit at alternating heights. This prevents the curtain from looking too uniform.

Can I make the flowers directly on the vines?

The flowers are easier to shape when made separately. Sewing them to the vines also gives you more control over their placement and direction.

Conclusion

This crochet flower curtain combines a simple green-and-cream filet valance with long leafy branches, small white flowers, and gently weighted ends. The alternating vine layouts give the finished curtain a natural garden-inspired appearance while keeping the individual crochet pieces easy to repeat.

Make the curtain to fit a doorway, window, nursery wall, or cozy reading corner, then adjust the branch length and flower colors to create a handmade crochet home decoration that suits your space.
