I have just fallen in love with so many projects on Pinterest that feature the African Flower motif. It is such a versatile embellishment. Much like my Popcorn Stitch Flower, you can turn the African flower into a motif and create blankets, pillows, handbags…the possibilities are endless. It is also a beautiful embellishment all on its own. For these reasons I thought it would be perfect to feature a pictorial and spread the African Flower love!

This is not a B.hooked original pattern. The African Flower has been around for quite some time and the instructions below are how I created the flowers shown in the photographs.
