*gasp* so cute!
These are lovely! A small project to try and you can use up odd balls of wool, they tick all the boxes
these are so beautiful !
I'm trying to make them but I'm a begginer and I'm having difficulties following the instructions... Do you have a diagram or pattern I could look at?
No Sorry, Neighbour.. :)
I haven't made them myself yet.
But the general idea is to make a long strip, and sew it in layers afterwards.. If you know how to make a crochet "shell", you've really have everything you need.
(Shell: Making several double chains in one chain, forming a half-circle..)
You can check out this guide.. :)
Good luck
I have made a couple of the flowers and it was easy to follow the pattern. I have put them on my blog. I have mentioned and linked to your blog. Thanks for sharing.
