The iris is a beautiful flower that most commonly represents wisdom, hope, valor and trust. Its meanings derive from various cultures all over the world, from the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology to the inspiration for the French fleur-de-lis. This crochet version looks stunning in any of TOFT’s bright and pastel shades of DK, reflecting the variety of colours and symbolism attached to each of them.
