Still playing with colour-change yarns, I have designed this easy Blush Crochet Flower Motif to complement yarns with a medium-length colour-change. It consists of only two rounds, although the second round includes short back-and-forth rows to create each Petal.
This specific yarn and colourway combination – Scheepjes Flow XL in Serenique – reminds me of apple blossoms, cherry blossoms, and Japanese Andromeda (Pieris japonica), all of which I pass on my way to work.
Here is a picture of my neighbour’s Japonica. Isn’t it spectacular? And see what I mean about the colours?
This crochet flower motif works beautifully as a stand-alone flower, which is the pattern I will be sharing below. It also lends itself wonderfully to a join-as-you-go (JAYGO) motif, allowing you to join multiple flowers together to create garments, mandalas, blankets, table runners – anything you fancy, really.
Here you can see an example of the motif used to make a simple mandala.
This requires the motifs to be joined as you make them. If you are already comfortable with join-as-you-go crochet, you will likely be able to adapt this motif to your preferred method. If not, don’t worry. I will explain exactly how I joined them when I share the mandala pattern next week.
Ah… I couldn’t resist sharing a photo of it against a Devon sunset…
After I share the mandala pattern, I will also share a small, decorative baby blanket using these motifs, complete with edge pieces and a border. I will point out that there is a lot of ‘negative space’ in the blanket (also known as holes), so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. It does look awfully pretty, though, doesn’t it?
