What began as an idea to make a tiny basic flower shape expanded until I had a set of seven different sweet miniature flowers with two leaf designs. As they all go together perfectly, you can mix, match, stack and combine endlessly to create floral embellishments perfect for any situation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/posyblossoms1.jpg\" alt=\"posy blossoms crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Make them in your favourite colours, or themed colours to match decor or occasion. (Thinking ahead, don&#8217;t you agree that dark green leaves with white and\/or red blossoms would make beautiful winter\/Christmas decorations..?) You can make each blossom in one or two colours, and stack the smaller blossoms on the larger ones in the same or contrasting colours. <\/p>\n<p>Each tiny component takes only minutes (or less!) to crochet. The sizes vary from approx 0.75-1.5&#8243; (2-4cm) diameter when worked in worsted weight yarn, and of course you could miniaturise them further with finer yarn and an appropriately smaller hook.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/posyblossoms2.jpg\" alt=\"posy blossoms crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Use a single flower to embellish a hairclip, stitch two or three to a bag or purse, or combine your favourites into a larger posy for a brooch or pin. Stitch them around the neckline of a t-shirt or cardigan, embellish a photo frame, decorate your amigurumi, create floral crocheted jewellery&#8230; The only limit is your imagination!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/posyblossoms_hairclip2.jpg\" alt=\"posy blossoms crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Above and below, you can see one example of how I used this pattern (3 x <strong>blossom A<\/strong> with the optional knotted centre, plus 1 x <strong>double leaf I<\/strong>) to make a sweet forget-me-not posy hair clip:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/posyblossoms_hairclip.jpg\" alt=\"posy blossoms crochet pattern by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As always, the pattern is free for your use, but if you&#8217;d like to send me a donation towards it (completely optional), you&#8217;ll receive the nicely formatted and easy-to-print PDF version of the pattern as a thank you.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy this pattern &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to see how you use it!
