Colorful Yarn Flower
A few years ago I came across a very pretty flower pattern – I printed a copy of the pattern from the internet and stashed it in my ‘Pattern Binder’…I came across it again a few days ago and decided to give it a whirl.
This is a FREE pattern and it is called:

I love this flower. It is very balanced and very ‘happy’ looking.
I used the yarn recommended, Red Heart Soft Yarn and a 5.50 mm hook and the flower did not work out for me. I think my tension was too relaxed.
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.

It really is ‘groovy’! It totally makes me think of the Austin Powers movies! I couldn’t resist hooking it up. I used a 4.50 mm hook for this one too. Here is my groovy flower:
I decided to make these flowers into brooches –
I think they may brighten up a certain someone’s day 🙂
