LET'S PLAY - CROCHET FUN - FREE PATTERN #4

free crochet patterns five petal flowers

SPRING THEME - FIVE PETAL FLOWER

Week #4 of Let's Play - Crochet Fun

How did you go last week? Did you enjoy making the Spring Makeup Remover Pads?
I would love to hear and see your creations so PLEASE DO SHARE THEM BELOW IN THE COMMENTS OR ON MY CROCKNIT FACEBOOK PAGE

THIS WEEK #4

I am continuing with the SPRING theme and i have designed these tiny little five petal flowers, which are perfect for attaching to just about anything: hats, teapot covers, keyrings, bags, presents, wherever you like, I am sure you can think of many other uses for these cute teeny weeny flowers.

AND the bonus, you get two (2) five petal flowers from this one (1) pattern.

I am making mine with DMC Petra 5 Cotton (light fingering weight), I do like the pearl sheen on this mercerised cotton thread, and it's also flexible and soft on the hands.

However, you can try making these five petal flowers with a heavier weight thread or yarn. I have tried the flower with Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton 4ply (fingering weight) and it works out fine, just slightly larger than using the Petra 5.
