Day 16-18 Five petal, fluffy flower and flower motif crochet pattern

Three days, three flowers.



I still have lots of catching up to do :)
Few flowers a day is a must at the moment :)
Hope you enjoying my way of writing patterns :)

Irish crochet flower motif.

This one is my favourite motif and I use it a lot. 
I have made a gorgeous girls dress based on this motif, 


and a stunning crochet top,


 again based on this motif.


Its easy, its fast, very simple to join as you go along making a dress or a top.Instead of finishing it off with a single crochet all around, for the dress I left it simple with chain edging, so it was easy to connect while making the dress.
With top, I added extra round.
 If I get enough interest in the pattern for the top, I might post it .
