FLORA 2 CROCHET FLOWERS PATTERN

In May 2016 my inspiration for designing these little crochet flowers came from the spring blossoms my husband and I witnessed whilst on our walks through the countryside. I love how these naturally wild flowers can be so tiny and delicate. I am not trying to imitate their wild beauty exactly, I've just interpreted what I saw and created a crochet flower which will remind me of the original. I hope they will delight you just as much as they have delighted me.

FOUR (4) Crochet FLOWERS pattern includes:-

1. Crochet Flower VINTAGE ROSE - 5 petals
2. Crochet Flower STAR JASMINE - 5 petals
3. Crochet Flower BUTTERCUP - 8 petals
4. Crochet Flower SEA HOLLY - 12 petals

Crochet flowers are crochet in the round using two (2) colours. I used remnants from my yarn stash mainly DMC Petra Crochet Cotton Size 5 and a 2mm hook.

You can also use Wendy Supreme Cotton 4ply which is slightly thicker but still gives a nice small flower using same hook size. If you wish to substitute the yarns do check the YARNSUB WEBSITE for the best matching yarn.

PATTERN DETAILS:

DIFFICULTY: Easy Intermediate
SIZES: One (1) size
MEASUREMENTS: Approximately 2in (5cm) diameter
YARN: DMC Petra 5 ● 100% Mercerised Cotton 3ply
YARN SUBSTITUTE: WENDY Supreme ● 100% Luxury Cotton 4ply OR any similar mercerised cotton
TENSION: Not critical - medium tension.
NOTIONS: 2mm hook, Yarn needle

PATTERN NOTES: Flora 2 consists of a total of four (4) crochet flowers; two (2) five petal flowers; one (1) eight petal flower; one (1) twelve petal flower. Instructions in this pattern are for four (4) flowers using two (2) colours with each flower.
