Crocheted Flower Garland
I have a couple of drawers next to my bed that were filled with skeins of yarn and little FO's that had gotten so stuffed that I could barely open them anymore. I dumped it all out and sorted and organized and found all these crocheted flowers that I had made way back when. I thought about connecting them together for a scarf but I would have needed a few more to complete it and I didn't feel like going down that road. Instead, I decided to connect them together in a garland.
I'm really pleased with the way it came out but for the life of me I couldn't get a good picture. I find garlands and their ilk the most difficult thing to photograph so you'll have to use your imagination a little when I assure you that it's very cute!
I used some bulky green yarn and single crochet and attached a flower about every 20 chains. If I make any more flowers then I can always go back and attach them to this garland if I want. I don't have any flower patterns for you but an internet search for crocheted flower patterns will give you enough to keep you busy for a long long time!
Ok, sorry, I should have looked on your sidebar...I see where you sell your stuff. :)
Did I mention that everything you make is adorable!

I found your blog through One More Moore...I just have to say that that is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! Do you have an etsy shop or do you sell any of your work?
