How to Crochet Flowers
Three Flowers in One Pattern

This project provided by Nikki Brown, of Crafty Monkey.

Here's a handy crochet pattern with directions to make three different flowers from one pattern. With a little creativity, you could adapt the pattern to make more variations as well.

Use one or two flowers to adorn a hat or shopping bag or make a fridgie or pin. Add wire or chenille stems and you could even crochet an entire bouquet of pretty blooms!
