Hello to all my crafting maestros! Have I stumbled upon something thoroughly unique, and I am absolutely thrilled to share it with you – a crochet pattern inspired by the universal language itself, music. Indeed, we’re venturing into weaving a beautiful crochet music note!
Is there anything more satisfying than seeing your favorite melodies transformed into crochet? I think not! The pattern practically dances off the hook, starting with the classic oval base we all know so well. From there, it flows elegantly into the note stem and ends in the flag. As each stitch falls into place, and the music note starts taking shape… it’s enough to make any crafty heart skip a beat!
Just a quick word of encouragement, all you crochet virtuosos: don’t be daunted if it doesn’t come out perfect in your first attempt. Remember, even Beethoven didn’t compose a symphony in a day. Stay patient, stay persistent, and pretty soon you’ll be squashing those high notes. So, why not pick up those hooks, and let’s dive into this rhythmic journey together, shall we?

It’s better to put the wire inside the stem at some point and to crochet around it.
Stuff the flag slightly as you go and curve the end of the wire a few rounds before you finish the flag. Shape the flag to receive the desired result and sew the stem to the note head.
