I found these flowers - and the free pattern - on Flickr when I was browsing recently.
The pattern was provided by "Elizabeth Cat". The pattern can be found amongst the comments under this flickr photo.
I think the original idea was, when done in purples, these flowers look a lot like African Violets, but when done in any colour, they just look like pretty, pretty flowers.
Well, since trying out the pattern I have discovered how very fun and very easy it is! And in a short amount of time I have made over a dozen of these lovely flowers - enough to make a smallish, round cushion! I am very excited as it will be the first crochet cushion I have ever made, and one of the first crochet projects that I will have ever actually completed. :-)
Anyway, here are a few photos of my flowers. I really love how colourful they are. I love arranging them in a rainbow-like spectrum; just looking at them cheers me. :-)
More photos can be found on my new Flickr photo-stream. Yes, I was so excited by these that I finally made a flickr account and added these to the Crocheting African Flowers group! My name on Flickr is, of course, Never Knew, and I will be adding links on there to this blog.
Hope you like my flowers and I hope you have a wonderful, colourful day.
Caz :-)
Nice work Cath!! I love a good blog, although I'm not sure that I would have signed up to a crochet-themed one if not for you. Looking forward to your creations!
