So, I've been working on this beaded scarf, (it's gonna be gorgeous!) but it's taking awhile and I totally have croch-ADD, so I meandered off and made up this really cute, stash-busting flower. I hope you like it! I think it looks just as good in a solid color as it does multi-color, and you can add a button or other bauble to really make it stand out.
10-Petal Popcorn Flower
ww yarn, J hook (I crochet super tight, so if you don't want a gargantuan flower, you may want to downsize a bit.)

ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it! Please show me pics if you make one. :)
ReplyDeleteLoL...I have croch-ADD too! And Knit-Add!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...Very cute!
Looks lovely and not too difficult. Think I will go make one as soon as I post this. I understand about the ADD. Sometimes I spend so much time trying to decide what to make, I end up making nothing.
ReplyDeleteok when you say slip stitch behind popcorn, what does that mean exactly. which stitch do you do it in
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, I meant to actually sl st behind the popcorn itself. In other words, the space where you sl st to complete the popcorn on Round 3 would be the place you would sl st on Round 4. Does that help? Or hinder? LOL
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this flower. Its just what I have been searching for to finish a purse I made. I used a K hook
ReplyDeleteThnak you!
