These free patterns of flowers can be used in any way by the crocheter. Use them alone as pins, or attach them to purses, jeans, hats, and anything else that needs a feminine touch. A complimentary leaf pattern is included in case the crocheter would like to add some to the finished flowers. Of course, either of these flowers can be made in different colors.
