Using those lovely bright Bamboo Cotton colours from my last post, I have made a Japanese Flower coaster. I love it!
The pattern was found and sent to me in a document by my friend Anna over four years ago after I first saw this and fell in love and showed it to Anna! It's taken me all this time to finally make one flower, so I think a few coasters are a bit more manageable than a whole throw or shawl! If you'd like the pattern, you can search on Pinterest for 'Japanese Flower Crochet' and there seem to be patterns more easily available these days.
There will be more to come, but I thought I'd show you the first one, as it's been so long since I've finished something!
Hope to be back soon with more of these!

Beautifully cheerful! And thank you for the links! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks - I just love the colours so much! xx
DeleteGorgeous colours and very jolly. Coasters are a good starting point.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet - they are a good way to get something finished quickly, and I am really pleased with how cheery they are!
DeleteYessss! So beautiful and as Anna says, cheerful! These are so beautiful, and I'm actually going to try my hand at (ugh, again) trying to make a little coaster, but black ;) OBV.

Thanks! And you really should!! You can do it! We never did get around to a crochet session when I was in Dublin - we'll have to do it for #drunkinteriorstake2 !!!
DeleteThat is so lovely and bright and uplifting! The colours are just gorgeous-cotton is just perfect to crochet in. They would make great gifts too xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison - I agree, I love using cotton. It just looks and feels so lovely - and with bright colours, you can't go wrong!!
DeleteAre you going to do a pattern for the flower
ReplyDeleteHi Janet. If you search for Japanese Flower crochet pattern there are lots online. That's what I did - I can't remember which one I used now!

DeleteI like the blue yarn does it have a name ?
ReplyDeleteHi - it's a King Cole Bamboo Cotton yarn, but I didn't make note of the name unfortunately. I can't seem to see it available anymore, so it may have been discontinued. None of the current colours look the same. It could have been called turquoise, but that's just a guess. Sorry about that! Maria
