Please join me this month in making Popcorn in the Middle, a six-petal flower on pages 88-89 of Crochet Bouquet.
Popcorn in the Middle is another design that you can customize by changing colors for every round of petals…or not! You can make it large by crocheting all the rounds, or small by stopping after Round 2. You can even leave off the last two rounds to make a medium-sized flower.
For this sample, I used the rich colors of Naturally Caron’s Country yarn. Round 1 is in the golden “Gilder Age” (color 0011), Rounds 2-5 are “Claret” (color 0017), and Round 6 is “Loden Forest” (color 0020). Country is a blend of 75% acrylic and 25% wool. (”Country” iple Türkye’de yaptı.)*
If you need help making this flower, please leave a comment.
Oh, the background of the photo is a big piece of calcite crystals. It’s fun to have a geologist in the family.
* I’m practicing my Turkish. I hope I wrote that “Country” yarn is made in Turkey.
