I love this flower.  It is very balanced and very ‘happy’ looking.

I switched to a 4.50 mm hook and gave it a second try and I had much better results.
I am not as happy with my flower as the ones in Mimi’s image (but I still love them!) – I am going to make some more in different types of yarn, until I get them exactly right!
Here is the flower using the 4.50 mm hook.

 

Mimi also had instructions for a Groovy flower at the bottom of the Colourful Yarn flower post.
