Crochet flowers and leaves are surprisingly easy to make, and they can be used to such great effect! We will make several kinds of flowers and leaves, discussing how to alter the basic pattern for different effects. We will talk about ways to use crochet flora, and I will bring along one or two wall hangings as examples.

And in case you’re thinking about taking my Design Skills Workshop, crochet flowers and leaves translate very well to seaweed, coral, and other marine life.

Bring leftover yarns in flower and leaf colors (real or imaginary!) and your crochet hooks.

Here are some of the pieces we will make.

Here are crochet flowers and leaves in use on a couple of my knitted, quilted wall hangings. See more wall hangings at the Gallery link in the menu above.
