That 70’s Flower
Crochet Pattern
Intermediate Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot
This funky flower is reminiscent of those great 70’s posters! It is actually created in the round, making all the petals at once, so it is really a flat circle. Then the border is put on to create the look of the petals. Use this flower as an applique on a hat, purse, jacket or other item. Attach it to a pin or hair clip or headband. There are so many possibilities!
