Tropical Flower Crochet Pattern

"Bright colors and lots of texture make this tropical flower clip the perfect pattern to crochet for any little girls hair accessory collection. It can be crocheted in one solid color, or colors can be mixed and matched to create the tropical flower of your dreams. The lace details of this pattern give even more opportunities to use color! This pattern can also be used to decorate headbands, bags, and hats. I have not written specific color changes into the tutorial to allow you to change color every round or two, or whenever you want."

NotesStarching your flower once it is finished should help it hold its shape for longer.
