Hooray for Crochet!
I love all of the pretty dainty crocheted flowers popping up on cards and scrapbook pages everywhere. tried to make some a while back but they were ANYTHING but dainty, then I found an easy tutorial over at Nicole Heady’s blog and it was so easy. I used embroidery floss and crochet cotton thread to make the flowers her with a #0 hook but it was really weird to get used to the thread so I made a few in sugar & cream cotton yarn first to get the hang of it then tried it with the thread, here is how they came out.
The flowers on this card are not from Nicole’s pattern but I used the same stitches, once you get the hang of it you can make up your own flowers. The little 4 petal flower was made with the crochet cotton then I sprayed it with my trusty homemade shimmer spray, I also sprayed the scroll die cuts to tone down the black. All the die cuts are from Creative cuts and More. They are looking for a few new guest designers so if you are interested check out the call here, you have until July 6th to apply!
I scanned a few of the flowers I made, then removed the background and saved them as a png file (transparent background) so digital scrappers can add the soft homespun look to their pages too 🙂 They are in one file so use the selection tool to pick the one you want!
If you want to find more patterns and awesome examples check out this thread over at splitcoast stampers.
There are also some cool flower patterns at Lion brand yarn.
Have fun making your own little crocheted flowers, if you find a cool pattern leave a link in the comments section. Beware these are very addicting but you can make use of little scraps of time my making these while you watch TV or riding in the car or waiting for the kids. It’s fun! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
