Hello,
Thanks a lot for downloading my free flower pattern Ebook! Crochet has been my favorite hobby for
the last couple of years. Although I’ve made lots of projects that took weeks to finish, my most
favorite projects are those made from scraps of yarn.
This e-book has twelve flower patterns in it, all made from single scraps of yarn. They are easy to
make, and not just fun for beginners. Because of the numerous projects you can use them for, the
patterns are also great for experienced crocheters.
I used these flowers for garlands, hair clips and sewing projects. But you can also place them in a
picture frame or glue them on cards. For the appliques in this book I used cotton Drops Paris by
Garnstudio and a crochet hook size 4mm, and Phildar Coton 3 by Phildar. But of course you can use
any other cotton or yarn with a suitable crochet hook.
I sometimes use abbreviations (US terms), here's a list of them:
SLST: slip stitch
CH: chain
SC: single crochet
HDC: half double crochet
DC: double crochet
TR: treble crochet
Feel free to sell any item you made from this e-book, but please mind that the patterns are mine and
that’s it’s not allowed to share them in any way.
Do you need help during the making of one of these patterns? You can contact me anytime at
I hope you’ll enjoy the patterns in this E-book. If so, visit my LoveCrochet pattern page for more
