I love this idea! It's perfect to make for a cute graduation gift for my niece entering middle school. It looks like It'll be very easy to make and all I have to do is swap the pink for her favorite color blue. I could even try making one for Mother's Day.

Sweet. I have found a lot of patterns for flowers, but I think this is the first that I have found that also has the leaf petals attached to it. What a great embellishment this would be for a cute little girls headband or handbag. Also this would be a great stash buster pattern for different colors of flowers.

What a cute flower pattern! There are so many things I could use this for. This would make an awesome hair accessory. You could attach it to a headband, or a hat, or anything else you put in your hair. You could also put a pin on the back for a beautiful brooch.

I love to make crochet flowers. And after reading thru this project, I can see it's going to be very easy. I use them for so many things. I make crochet purses and these are great for embellishments. I also add them to head bands, sweaters and afghans. They are a very nice add on.

For our crochet club, we make gift bags for our new members with a flower attached! We were just talking at our last meeting about making flowers for the gift bags and look here is a pretty pattern just as I need it! I will make up a few of these to add to our stockpile.

These are beautiful! I have an original idea for how I can use something like this. Create a granny square afghan using an ivory or tea stained colored yarn. Intermix the squares with some of the rose pink color from the flower. Along the border, all the way around, attach these flowers on every other square. It will look amazing!

Between flowers and motifs I don't know what I like better. I like to have a portable project and I can see a use for these now. I can attach these to the crochet curtains I have in my office. They will look so nice at the top where the hooks are to hide the snap.

Oh my, these are so pretty. And after reading the pattern, very easy too. I just have to make up a few in different colors to keep on hand. I make purses and head bands and bracelets and I know I will find a perfect spot for these. Thank you for sharing.
