Day 15 - Simple flower motif

Simple flower motif.

This little flower is so simple and quick to make.
In a few minutes you can have a little detail to add to your bag, headband, hat or whatever you like.

You can make flower tiny and perfect for Irish crochet projects by using smaller hook and finer thread.
Or make it bigger and more exciting, just use your double knit yarn, with bigger hook.
I Have taken pictures for this flower made with 3 types of yarn and 3 different hook sizes.
This little flower has not been followed by any diagrams or other patterns. I made it up myself, however, cant say that something similar isn't out there, simply because I think all sorts of flowers in crochet are made already.
Right, here we go.. If you want a quick fix for your project, this little flower is simple, beautiful and very fast to make :)
