Happy British Flowers Week! Celebrate with some beautiful flowers (crochet of course!) from us and Pavilion Craft, publishers of the Mollie Makes craft books We’ve teamed up with Pavilion Craft to bring you a whole load of crochet blooms which you can hook up in time for British Flowers Week (13–19 June). We have blooms of all colours, styles and sizes but to kick off the floral celebrations we have these two beautiful projects. This crochet pattern features three very simple crochet motifs that could be combined in different ways to create a range of pretty floral patterns for appliqué.
