Crochet Cotton Thread Rose and Leaf
Free Pattern for Crocheted Layered Flower and Foliage
Sep 8, 2008
Crocheted flowers are always popular to make, give or receive. They can also be used as accents to just about any fabric.
This free pattern of a layered flower can be used in any way by the crocheter. Use it alone as a pin, or attach it 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 foliage to the finished flower. Of course, any of these flowers can be made in different colors.
