Here’s a project that uses the free Frilly Target Flower pattern from the last post plus the Scallop-Edge Leaf from Crochet Bouquet.
To make the flowers and leaves, I used Louet’s Euroflax Sport, a 100% linen yarn. Linen has a beautiful texture for knitting and crochet. You can use any yarn you want to decorate a jacket, though a smooth yarn will show the details of the crochet better.
You Will Need
- 3 colors of fine weight (2) yarn. Coordinate leaf and petal colors as in photo or as desired.
- Hook: 3.5mm/E-4, or size to give a firm gauge
- Purchased jeans jacket
- Sewing needle and matching thread
- Pins
Instructions
- Crochet the large and medium versions of the Frilly Target Flowers (see the blog post just before this one), changing colors after each picot round as shown in photograph.
- Crochet two Scallop-Edge Leaves (pages 116-117 of Crochet Bouquet), needle-join Rnd 2, and then change color for the scallop round. Make a stem about eight chain stitches long.
- Make one long and one short stem for the flowers as follows: chain desired length, then sl st in each ch. Weave in all ends.
- Arrange the flowers, leaves, and stems on the jacket, using photograph as a guide. Pin and sew them in place.
The project shown here was created with Louet’s Euroflax Sport, 100% Wet Spun Linen, 3.5oz/100g = 270yd/247m per skein.
