@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

With my flower child patterns, you can crochet not only charming flower fairies, but also their flowers, because each flower child has its plant with it. All flower children are about 12–13 cm tall and have movable arms and legs, so you can decorate with them in different poses. To crochet them, you only need a few leftover yarns in the corresponding colors, a little wire, and stuffing. But you can also crochet just the flowers and make yourself a colorful bouquet.
Here are a few examples of flower children:
 Daisy

Cowslip

Pussy willow
 Would you like to crochet an entire flower meadow? You can find even more flower children here in my shop!

With these patterns, you can crochet lots of different flowers. It’s a great way to use up all your scraps and spruce up all kinds of things. For small children, these little flowers are perfect for hiding a small tear in their jeans. A pillow with lots of flowers looks great, too. Or use them as eye-catching accents on T-shirts, bags, pillows, curtains, etc., etc. There are no limits to your imagination.

Flower Mix


This colorful spring meadow is crocheted entirely from leftover yarn. The set includes decorative flower accents, a large placemat—edged with flower petals—and egg cozies with floral decorations and butterflies.

The entire set is very easy to crochet, even for beginners (with basic skills). It’s quick to make, so you can bring spring into your home in no time.
