Ways to Use the Happy Flower Decoration
These vibrant crocheted flowers are perfect for decorating. If your room lacks that colorful, floral touch, these enchanting creations will bring cheerful vibes to every space.
They look best when arranged in patches of three, four, or more flowers and hung over the window or on the wall. They will also work well outdoors, decorating a terrace or gazebo.
Interested in other ideas? You can use such a flower as a bookmark or placeholder (ideal for a large cookbook or album) or as an appliqué, for example, on a curtain or tablecloth.
Yarn and Hook Suggestions
For this crochet flower pattern, you can use literally any yarn you like or have in your stash. This project eats up very small amounts of different colors, and that makes it a great stash buster.
The original design features Rowan Handknit Cotton, which is a medium-weight yarn. If you want you’re pieces to be durable and easy to wash, 100% cotton yarn will be your best choice.
When using worsted weight, pair it with a 4 mm crochet hook for best results.
