Posy Blossoms
Posy Blossoms is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank.
This is a versatile mix-and-match pattern to make sweet miniature flowers in seven designs with two leaves. Make each blossom in one or two colours of your choice; stack the smaller blossoms on the larger ones in the same or contrasting colours; combine your blossoms into a unique posy.
A few ideas for using these blossoms…
- Use a single flower to embellish a hairclip
- Stitch two or three to a bag or purse
- Combine into a larger posy for a brooch or pin
- Stitch around the neckline of a t-shirt or cardigan
- Embellish a photo frame
- Decorate your amigurumi
- Create floral crocheted jewellery
(The 3rd and 4th images here show an example you could make with this pattern: a flower hairclip made from 3x blossom A with the knotted centre, and 1x double leaf I.)
