Flower motifs using WW yarn (Granny Skull Hat)

[deneen]

Does anyone have or know of a site where I can get patterns for flowers to make for the side of a hat using worsted weight yarn? I can do a rosette, but these are too big for what I want. Thanks

Well I can't speak for the others but I spend most of my day at or near my 'puter. I crochet while I read and surf and check in here periodically all day long, till about now when it's time for dinner and spending time with hubby and brat boy

Marvie-

 

Couldn't find really anything I liked. I did get one from the Flower applique purse and used it, but I would still like a few others. Let me know.

Deneen,

 

Are you looking for anything in particular? A certain type of flower? Or just something that strikes you?

 

Here's a few links to get you started though...

Marvie-

 

Thank you so much, you've been more than helpful. I think I was able to dig up enough to try some and see how it goes.

 

Thanks again:day

Good to hear if you need anything else just send out a shout!

PS There WILL be a :camera of this hat won't there???

[deneen]

Ah--no pic this time. The hat has already been sold. It was a special request. I'll be making more though, only took an hour to do (not including all this darn time looking for a flower pattern). By the way, the "M" hook I used to do the skull cap was a Crystallites one, which run different than the boye or others.

glad to know marvie was able to help with the flower problem

 

were you able to find exactly what you were looking for? i've found that after making a few... you kinda 'get the hang of' them and just might be able to make your own pattern :fc

[deneen]

Hi Rebecca-

 

Didn't find quite what I wanted. I guess I had something in mind like a pansy, but ended up making something that looked good, but I wasn't exactly thrilled with it. The woman I made it for loved it, but still I would like to find a better flower.

Kinda, I guess. I guess I'm not sure what I want, when I see it I'll know. I love the flowers you do with crochet thread, but it doesn't seem to work with WW.

 

Marvie--you've been MARVelous!!

 

Deneen:clap

Hey Marvie-

 

What flower motif did you use for the Granny Skull cap?????

 

Deneen

[MarvieN]

Ummm well I did use one of the links I sent you for one... and the rest were just winged lol. Hubby asked me "What kind of flower is that?" My answer was "One straight outta my imagination!" lol

I didn't start this thread asking for flower patterns but I am sure glad I found it. Saves me the time of looking for them myself.

 

Plan to put the flowers on pins that can be used on hats, purses, shawls...

 

Thanks,

Barbara
