Flowers

Good to know

Crochet flowers never wilt, and they are small enough to finish in one evening. Use them as brooches, coasters or decoration on a gift.

Work in cotton for crisp petals or soft acrylic for a fuller bloom, and steam each flower lightly so the layers lie flat.

Join several flowers with leaves to make a bouquet, wreath or garland, or sew a pin back on the reverse for a brooch. Leftover scraps are perfect, because most flowers use only a few meters of yarn.
