I love making crochet flowers. I did not understand them at first! But once I cracked it they are the easiest and my most favouritist thing to crochet. I am currently working up the guts to sew 50 crochet squares together for a blanket for my friend. This is indeed my least favourite thing about crochet!

Now I've got my head round them they are really easy! I was just having trouble reading the patterns so had to cross reference with loads of other sites to understand what they were telling me to do

I think you should make more with the black outline & have that as the blankie with other coloured flower bits with the yellow centre. I'll purchase & donate the wool to you :D :D

I was going to do that I think. The squares are going to be a blanket. I've made a load of pastel coloured merino ones but that will be a separate blanket as the colours and fibres won't match (The ones in this show off are acrylic).

Thanks everyone, I love the colour scheme as well

Oooh the flowers are lovely! I've attempted knitting and just couldn't wrap my head around it, as I can't imagine crochet being much easier I'll just sit back and envy your wooly talents!
Gorgeous granny squares (: x!
