Crochet Posies
What’s better than a pocket full of posies?
Making your own posies and using them to
embellish your favorite projects! This
pattern features instructions for two different
types of crocheted flowers, a crocheted leaf and
many fun ways to use them.
This pattern is written to use embroidery floss. The floss is inexpensive, comes in a
multitude of bright, vibrant colors and is easy to work with. Each hank will make 2-3
flowers or leaves. You can use other types of yarn for fun effects. Try worsted weight,
bulky or even novelty yarn for larger flowers with an interesting texture.
