Create stunning crochet collages with this collection of 100
patterns for crochet flowers, plants and petals. Crochet designer
and gardener, Chris Norrington, has created 100 crochet motifs
arranged in 10 collages based on the beautiful flowers and plants
found in her wonderful cottage garden on the edge of the beautiful
North York Moors National Park. All of the motifs are inspired in
some way by Chris' garden and the collages roughly follow the
pattern of the seasons from the first flowers in spring, through to
the frosty leaves of winter. The motif designs are inspired by the
colours and shapes found in nature and, while some are recognisable
as specific plant species, they are not intended to be botanically
accurate representations of particular plants. Alongside the more
usual front-on view of flowers in full bloom, Chris has included
some patterns for flowers viewed from the side, half-opened
flowers, buds, seedheads, berries and fungi. There is also a large
variety of foliage types from individual leaves to leafy stems,
ferns, and grasses. Each of the collages has a different, sometimes
seasonal, theme and all the compositions are different - there are
wreaths and bouquets, some are arranged in a jug or a vase while
others grow straight from the ground. The collage themes include
Woodland Glade, inspired by a sun-dappled, shady forest corner with
ferns and snowdrops, the Vintage Blue Bouquet collage is inspired
by the shapes and soft pastel colours of Lily-of-the-valley and
Scabious, and the Flower Meadow collage evokes a prairie-style
meadow with ornamental grasses interspersed with tall perennial
flowers. You can have fun recreating the collages that Chris has
designed, or you can mix and match the motifs of your favourite
plants and flowers to make your own creations. There are
instructions for which yarn to use to create the motifs, but you
can experiment with different types of yarn to create your own
versions. As well as creating the beautiful crochet collages which
could be mounted and framed, there are ideas for what to make from
the crocheted motifs including decorative applique embellishments
on clothes and homewares, as well as bookmarks and keyring charms.
