Flower Crochet

This is a crochet pattern to make a Bee and a Flower Basket. A basic knowledge of crochet is required to make them. The pattern is easy to follow: it only uses single crochet stitches (US) or double crochet stitches (UK). The Bee and Flower Basket are made with No 5 yarn (Bulky, Chunky, Craft, Rug) and a 6 mm hook (US: J/10, UK: 4). Instructions are included for the bee, basket and flowers. You can make them bigger or smaller, without changing the pattern. The bee is about 19 inches/ 47.5 cm high standing (excluding antennas). The flower's diameter is 2.8 inches/ 7 cm. The basket is 3 inches/ 7.5 cm in diameter and 1.8 inches/ 4.5 cm high (excluding the handle). The size of the dolls depends on the size of the crochet hook, thickness of yarn and how you stuff them; a bigger hook and thicker yarn make a bigger doll. A doll stuffed tightly is bigger than a loose stuffed doll.

This lovely book provides 20 contemporary, stylish designs for crocheted corsages – large, eye-catching floral designs that can be worn in different ways: as a brooch, buttonhole, on your wrist, shoes, bag or belt, for example. The flowers are made in a variety of sizes and styles, with different types of flower, all worked in various colours, yarns and crochet stitches. Some feature added embellishments such as buttons and beads. Some of the flowers are based on real ones, such as the pansy, lily and hydrangea, while others, such as spectrum, roux and rainbow are fantasy flowers designed by Anna. There is more variety in that some of the flowers are quite flat, while others are distinctly 3-D, giving them added appeal. The patterns are easy to follow and there is a beautiful photograph of each one, suggesting ways of wearing them. All of the materials used are widely available both here and in the US.
