I came across these beautiful flowers while I was skipping around looking at blogs yesterday. It took me a little while but I finally found a blog that had a tut (as she calls it). It was too late last night when I came across the tut, I had to wait until this morning before I could wrap my fingers around beautiful yarn and start creating my own Japanese flowers. Last night I dreamed about the yarn I would use and the colors I would combine. I should have been sleeping I was exhausted but alas thinking about crocheting is much more fun.
Here is my first one.
I like how it turned out but I really like the color combination of my second one.
My day consisted of watching movies with my son and making more beautiful flowers. So far I have 5 made. I love summer vacation!

Hi Katy - I have emailed you about the crochet stitch pattern on my bolster cushion. Hope it helps, Victoria

ReplyDeleteHere's what I wrote...
Make a chain which is a multiple of 4 stitches + 3
Row 1: [2trtog, 1ch, 2trtog] in 5th chain from hook, *skip 3ch, [2trtog, 1ch, 2trtog] in next chain, repeat from * to last 2 ch, skip 1ch, 1tr in last chain, turn
row 2: 3 ch, skip first tr and first 2trtog * [2trtog, 1ch, 2trtog] into 1 ch space, skip next 2 2trtog, repeat from *, ending skip last 2trtog, 1tr in next ch, turn
So, after the first row you are working out of the 1ch spaces. My terminology is UK.
