I love forget-me-not flowers – my Gramps had them engraved around my Nana’s wedding band and to me, they are somewhat magical because of this 🙂

Free Crochet Pattern

Although the flower is modelled after the forget-me-not I chose to make mine in navy blue – it worked better with the hat I was crocheting.
