The Flora Crown was actually one of my earliest designs! I wanted to embellish my Basic Crochet Crown with a flower and leaves, and so the Flora Crown was born!

The Flora Crown actually features two sets of flowers and leaves, both with multiple size options, so you can truly customize this beauty! The first set were published as part of my recent release the Crown Ear Warmer, the Rolled Rose and Chain Leaves. The second set was designed exclusively for the Flora Crown Crochet Pattern and I think they are something special! The Button Flower and Leaves that are only available with the Flora Crown are some I’ve been working on for a number of months (off & on) to perfect. I am in definitely very pleased with the final result, and I hope that you are too! 🙂

The Flora Crown Pattern is an Easy Crochet Pattern, that can be completed by an advanced beginner and beyond. The Flora Crown Pattern, comes in 8 sizes, and includes photo tutorials to help you add the Crown peaks, and detailed photos and written instructions for creating the Flowers, Leaves, and other details!

Half Double Crochet – Learn to Crochet Series

Half Double Crochet – Learn to Crochet Series

Welcome back to the next step in your Learn to Crochet Journey – the Half Double Crochet Stitch! Just one additional step takes you from a single crochet to a half double crochet stitch! What’s more, with a half double crochet stitch you can crochet bigger, faster and create so many things from garments, to hats to blankets!

This Learn to Crochet Series was designed to help you learn to crochet in the same manner I learned! For me, the most accessible method to learn crochet was through the help of books, YouTube videos (like those you will find below!), and beginner patterns. While there are some fantastic programs out there, as a busy mom I preferred this method of learning rather than having a formal “teacher” and classes.

The other aspect that of self paced teaching that I like is that you can learn without pressure, at your own pace, and in your own time. Like I stated above, this makes it perfect for busy moms (like me!) or students who need to work at their own pace! Or those who don’t have a lot of free time to take a class or seminar, but are eager to learn! Crochet is a wonderful creative outlet! When I found crochet, I knew that I was HOME! 🙂 I hope it feels the same for your too, but if it doesn’t, learning this way won’t cost you much time or money – Hooray! So, let’s get started!
