    About this ebook

    UK Version

    Flowers are so appealing and this book of 20 unique and varied flowers will have you making masterpieces in crochet. All blocks are the same size so mixing and matching is easy. There are some very textured, 3D flowers as well as flat, smooth flowers. Each pattern is written for a particular colour scheme, but also comes with many suggestions for other colour ways that can make the same pattern look very different.

    Everything you need to know to successfully create every pattern is included, from very detailed instructions with tips to the extensive stitch dictionary that includes links to videos by the author.

    The blocks can be used to make throw rugs, cushions, bags and anything else you can use a traditional crochet granny square for.

    All patterns are written to be as seamless as possible with no visible beginning and ending of rounds.

      Introduction

      Hello there! I’m Shelley and I love designing crochet patterns. This collection has 20 new flower patterns I’ve designed for you. There are some very 3D flowers that really stand up, all the way down to very flat flowers.

      All the patterns are named the word Flower in different languages so you’ll travel the world from Europe to Asia to India to Australia with each new pattern. Well, the Australian one isn’t really in a language other than English – it’s more a funny pronunciation thing.

      All blocks measure 6" (15 cm) so you can mix and match them to your heart’s content.

      I want you to be able to successfully make every pattern in this book, so I’ve included the tips and tricks I use to make it very hard to see where rounds begin and end, as well as an extensive stitch dictionary with links to videos I’ve made so you can see exactly what stitch is what. Every round of every pattern has a stitch count so you can make sure you are on track easily.

      Each pattern is written for a specific colour way, but I also suggest other options so you can make the same flower pattern in lots of different ways. It’s amazing how this can change the look of a pattern.

      I have come up with a border pattern which I think suits the floral blocks well – a picket fence. It’s pretty easy, but effective.

      Please do let me know if you find any errors in the book. I have tried my best to make sure the patterns are error free, but I'm only human after all. My contact details can be found here : Connect with Shelley Husband

      Yarn Ideas

      I have made each pattern with a few different yarns. I love working in cotton, but you can of course use any yarn you like. Each pattern lists the approximate metreage/yardage in total, not for each colour.

      I used Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton in the following colours to make the blues and cream versions :

      • Centre Blue = Turquoise - Number 3733

      • Middle Blue = Aqua - Number 3732

      • Outer Blue/green = Ice - Number 3736

      • Cream = Natural - Number 3718

      Using the Cascade, the blocks all measured 6" (15 cm) when I used a 5 mm hook. Please note that I do tend to crochet tighter than most and a 4 mm hook is recommended for this yarn.

      In some of the pictured patterns, I’ve used Bendigo Woollen Mills 8 ply cotton in various colours. All measured 6" (15 cm) using a 5 mm hook, but again, a 4 mm hook is recommended.

      I used King Cole Cottonsoft for the red flowers in the following colours :

      Centre Yellow = Buttercup – Number 1600

      Red Petals = Cherry – Number 719

      Green Leaves = Lime – Number 1601

      Cream Edges = Ecru – Number 711

      Using the King Cole, the blocks all measured 6.25" (just under 16 cm) as it is slightly thicker than the Cascade and Bendigo Woollen Mills yarns. Again, I used a 5 mm hook where a 4 mm is recommended.

      No matter what yarn and hook combination you use, as long as you use the same throughout, your blocks will all be the same size.

      Tips for Seamless Crochet

      I'm a bit pedantic about seamless crochet. I really don't like seeing where rounds begin and end. So I use a few little tricks to help hide those beginnings and ends.

      False Treble

      Where patterns say ch 3, which counts as the first treble traditionally, there are a couple of options you can do instead. I like to use a false treble instead. It is a bit fiddly when you first try it, but I think the result is worth persevering for. You can find my video showing how it’s done here. It’s not compulsory though, so please don’t feel you have to do it. If the ch 3 starts don’t bother you, that’s totally fine. Honest.

      Changing colours

      When I recommend a colour change in a round that
