Make sure you tuck in all the excess yarn ending and the other

Colour under when you crocheting your stitches.

Makes your flower that little bit more unique and interesting.

Day 10 - Irish crochet flower motif

Twelve petal crochet flower motif.

Hello everyone, who has joined me to create some more crochet flowers.
I use online diagrams to make most of the crochet flower patterns. Some people cant read diagrams, so this way, it makes it easier for them to make flower or crochet motif they want. My aim is to make at least one crochet flower pattern per day. I want to see how far I can get, before I ran out of all the flower patterns. However recently I had internet issues, will be back online properly at the beginning of may, and I will posts all the missing flower patterns in one go.

Some crochet flower patterns will be used without any other online patterns, but could be similar or adjusted to the other or same flower or motif patterns.

This pattern has been followed the diagram.
Perfect for those Irish crochet project.

Materials used:
Hook 1.75m
Scissors,
Patons  100% 4 ply cotton yarn
