Crochet Flower Fun


Hello Lovelies,
Here's a little project I finished just before going on holidays. My mum is a great crocheter, she tried to teach me and I DO want to learn, but I'm all fingers and thumps and have little patience so I just ended up getting flustered and gave up!....Anyhoo, she's a whizz when it comes to crochet, I asked her if she wouldn't mind making a few flowers for a headband I was hoping to make for my friend, next thing I know she's whipped me up a bag full, enough flowers to make a headband and a little something else....


 My first idea was to make a little waistcoat, I chopped up a vest and was going to sew the flowers on, but once I started it wasn't really going how I'd planned so scrap that and start again, this time I tried making a crochet flower collar...


If you'd like to learn how to crochet a flower and you have more patience than me, here's a great little video to show you how....

Thanks mum for making all the flowers! xxx

Have a great week everyone!

    Those flowers are adorable! Love the collar and the sweater...what a great Mum you have and I'm sure you will learn to crochet. I have crocheted in years...I used to make afghans and hats...but I burnt out one Xmas making hats for all my nieces and nephews...crazy!
