Who doesn’t love flowers?? Scatter them on a table, adorn cushions, curtains, clothes, bags with them, or attach them to gifts as that little extra something. This simple pattern for The Mayfield Flower came out of a request of a workshop leader at a place called Mayfield house – she was going on a training course and I was covering the workshop for her, supporting people with special needs to work with crafts and develop their creative skills. She asked me to make some crochet flowers for her, so I made up this pattern during the morning and thought it quite suitable to call it the Mayfield flower.

The pattern is written out in UK terms and US terms. You can see a guide to the abbreviations here. Please remember that this is my design.
