The Flower Bed Japanese Style!

I can't tell you how much I have been enjoying crocheting those pretty flowers.  


They are so so quick to make up and the size with my aran yarn and just a 4.50mm hook is already 6 inches across.  you could easily use a 5mm or a 6mm hook if you wanted them bigger than that.


So many of us have been enthralled by the variations of these flowers that we have started our very own flower blanket crochet-a-long. We aim to crochet a blanket together - big or small in whichever flower motif you choose.


We would love as many of you as possible to contribute and if you would like to be able to post to the blog yourself you need to contact one of the admin (Suz, Hazel or myself) with your email address. Full instructions are on the site.

Here it is:



Everyone is welcome, beginners and advanced.  If you've never crocheted before, we would like to help :)


If you don't want to join the CAL please feel free to follow the blog to see our progress as the project takes off.  I'll be posting how many flowers I have done, the variation of flower that I am using and any other details on the site shortly. Feel free to post on your blog to let anyone that might like to join know we exist.

Hope to see you there.

    I absolutely **LOVE** the colors you used in these! Mine are rather crazy colored in retrospect. I love doing these flowers, but am doing the border on my granny stripe so I can get it *finished*.

    Hugs, Teresa
