Product Description
Product Description
Crochet bouquets of nearly 50 whimsical, wonderful flowers, in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours! Done in upscale yarns like ribbon, chenille, and silk, this contemporary garden will get intermediate-level crocheters grasping their hooks. Some of the flora looks realistic; others are beautifully fanciful, pure products of the imagination. A simple, well-photographed basics section explains how to create them all - specialty techniques include felting, stacking the flowers, stiffening the petals and linking the flowers together. Grow daffodils, dahlias, ferns, primroses, sunflowers and violets - or even a fantastic blossom with layers of scalloped petals radiating out in increasing size from a crystal button centre. For added inspiration, a series of showcase projects incorporates the blossoms, including hats, backpacks, pillows and cards.

From the Author
Hello Crocheters!
I'm thrilled to be back on here, where my fist book, The Polymer Clay Sourcebook, appeared in 1998.
The UK was much on my mind as I wrote Crochet Bouquet. We lived in Sheffield for seven years, where I marveled at the brilliant gardens and flowers, so different from those in the hot and drier climate in my home state of Texas.
The flowers in Crochet Bouquet range from flat to 3-dimensional, realistic to fantastic, in as many colours as possible. They are meant to be used as embellishment. The projects included in the book give ideas for using flowers on backpacks, hats, greeting cards, and more.
If you haven't joined Ravelry already, please do! Then you can join me and others in the "Crochet Bouquet Alongs" group as we work through some of the designs in the book together.
Special greetings to my friends at the Hallamshire Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers, and to the many wonderful fiber enthusiasts I met during our time in the UK.
