Description

Everything is coming up roses with this delightful collection of flowers to knit and crochet. This work offers the perfect way to use up scraps of yarn or practice using novelty yarns - you can use them to decorate clothing, hats, bags and belts, embellish home accessories, or make a beautiful bouquet as an unusual display piece. Choose from simple spiral roses, pretty poppies, elaborate layered blooms, and fabulous felted flowers. The flowers are beautifully arranged on the pages, with stitched leaves and embroidered stems, and are cross referenced to a separate section featuring clear pattern instructions and information on yarn requirements. You will also find plenty of inspiration for embellishing your finished flowers with beads, buttons, sequins, and embroidery, plus ideas for using them in a range of fun ways, from unusual jewellery to decorating gift-wrapped packages.

  • I love this book! The author shares many kinds of flowers, fruits and vegetables and a few garden bugs along the way (ladybug, bumble bee and several butterflies). Some patterns are for knitting and some are for crocheting (all crochet patterns are charted and written out), which I love because up to now I have only crocheted flowers. Even though the author includes a caveat "serious botanists beware," I find the flowers delightfully detailed and realistic. I am working on a large rose at the moment and it looks wonderful already.

  • A really beautiful book with realistic patterns that are based on flowers like fuchsias, pansies and daffodils. Also a few cute patterns for fruits, vegetables and insects. After trying the crochet bumblebee pattern, which is listed as an "intermediate design," I would classify this as a book for people with ample knitting and crocheting experience, and a very good knowledge of pattern abbreviations and stitch types. There are a lot of beautiful patterns in here but the instructions are very brief and assume you know what you're doing. The bee turned out super cute!
