Crochet Flowers
Posted by Leah on Apr 17, 2008
I just saw this book on Amazon that looks like it would be a lot of fun: Crochet Bouquet: Easy Designs for Dozens of Flowers
Crocheted flowers are a great way to use up a little bit of leftover yarn if you are a fiber artist, and they can easily be made into accessories like pins, or sewn onto hats, scarves, sweaters, etc as a cute embellishment. The jewelry maker in me wants to crochet up a whole bunch of flowers and stitch them together into a fun necklace, or dangle a couple from earwires. I even have some very thin yarn and tiny crochet hooks so that I could make appropriate sized flowers….so I think I would have fun with the patterns in this book.
If you’ve seen this book please leave a comment and let me know if it’s any good.
I’ve seen it and it is great! But I’m a little biased, being the author and all.
It has nearly fifty flower and leaf patterns, plus several projects that will give you ideas for using the flowers. There’s a mix of realistic interpretations of flowers along with fantasy flowers. I made a special point of including plenty of leaves in the book.
As you said, there are many ways to use crocheted flowers. I can hardly wait to see what you do with them! I hope you’ll post your flower jewelry creations at my new bookblog, which is set up for readers of Crochet Bouquet.
Thanks for stopping by Suzann!
