Merry-Go-Round Hexagon is a lovely floral design. It will allow you to create for instance a beautiful blanket, table runner, or just anything you want. This hexagon looks intricate but is not that hard to make. It looks great in soft pastels. However don't hesitate to bring a pop of colour on petals or center. Do you like it? Let me know!
The firs of our flower ides, an afghan square pattern is easy, but just difficult enough to challenge the beginner and produces a beautiful motif that can be worked into an afghan, throw or blanket. The square is 9 inches to a side and is made in three shades of worsted weight yarn and an H hook. You can vary the size by changing the weight of the yarn, the hook size and yarn tension.
And here is another varioation of the Tunisian Saloniki Stitch. While the basic technique is the same, it uses an offset to create a discontinuous effect. Thus, this crochet style creates a very soft and cozy afghan, that has a fairly prominent texture of diagonal bands of Saloniki stitching.
However, you may feel quilt inspired projects need to be fancier. Therefore, try these, richly variegated and textured beauties.
Next, this water lily square also places the elevated 3D blossom as a central rosette. However, in this case, the flower is deconstructed and rebuilt as a more abstract and modified design. Thus, it is perfect for a more modern blanket, or a room where pastel colors are king.
However, unlike the previous, eccentric, blossom this version uses a 3D applique lily as a central rosette. Consequently, the water surrounds the flower evenly, making it great for repeating patterns.
To begin with, here is a project that looks like it's knitted. Overall, the Tunisian ribbed stitch here uses a Tunsian simple stitch and the Tunisian full stitch to yield a beautiful, almost herringbone effect interspersed with parallel portions.
However, if subtlety is called for, this African flower square is IT. Overall, this is a masterful, understated blanket making use of this design.
To begin with, as the name says on the box, this 8-petalled beauty is a classic of the kind. In particular, I like the border around the flower tat really delineates it.
