Retro Flower Crochet Pattern

I am delighted and very relieved to finally have completed the update and reworking of my Retro Flower Crochet Pattern. It is one of the first patterns I made and when looking over it a little while ago I realised it was in need of a makeover. I finally found time for it and it now comprises of 4 variations of flower rather than 3 and – I think – is a better and cleaner design.

The pattern is available in both UK and US terms and both have been tested. The pattern includes instructions on how to make a standing treble crochet/double crochet and an invisible join. When working treble crochet/double crochet in circles it makes the joining area so much neater – almost invisible. There are photos to illustrate the two techniques as well as one special stitch (half treble 5 together over 5 stitches/ half double crochet 5 together over 5 stitches).

The flowers are fun and colourful (or not if you wish) and can be used for many things – garlands, table decor, coasters and embellishments come to mind.

It is available for a small sum in both my Etsy shop and Ravelry shop. If buying from my Etsy shop please make sure you get the right listing as the US and UK versions are listed separately.

I love these earrings that I just got from @garvald_jewellery! I saw they made them in other colours and I of course couldn’t stop myself from ordering a pair in gold, grey and cream…. I think they absolutely fabulous! We might be having a mini heatwave here in Edinburgh atm, but nevertheless, a good crafter starts Christmas prep early anyway! I’ve been crocheting up a storm of snowflakes for the new @garvaldmulberrybush shop and I’m very pleased I’ll be going back to Corbenic Advent Fair in November too. Most of the snowflake sets are also back in stock in my #EtsyShop and there’ll be new ones emerging closer to Christmas. I promise I am enjoying the summer weather as well though! ☀️😆 Embroidery and Persian carpets from @theburrellcollection in Glasgow. The detail and finesse is just astonishing, far more intricate than anything I could ever crochet! One of my favourite pieces at the CREATURE COLLECTIVE exhibition by makers from @garvaldedinburgh has got to be this carrousel made by members of the @garvald_glass workshop. Everything about it is fabulous! More great stuff from CREATURE COLLECTIVE - the latest exhibition by @garvaldedinburgh makers and artists @summerhallery in Edinburgh. It’s just great…. If you live in or close to Edinburgh come along, it’s open till 25th June. Just love all the creations on display in the latest exhibition from @garvaldedinburgh CREATURE COLLECTIVE. There’s a huge variety of art on display from makers across the organisation, I can’t possibly choose a favourite! Time to share a few more photos of the squares I made for a cushion for a friend… I do love this combination and might have to play with colours again soon. Pattern is on my blog. ‘Oh lovely spring, are all these flowers for our delight…?’ 🎵🎶🎵 Whatever their ultimate purpose, delightful they are! After the rain….
