Welcome to 365 Crochet Flowers Bouquet Project!
I set myself a big challenge for the year – design and post instructions for crochet patterns inspired by flowers… one design per day… for a full year. At least that was my intention. Unfortunately, I have to put my design hooks down for a while to prepare the new collections and organise production. Hopefully, I'll be back designing flowers later this summer.
The project started on 1st June 2012 and it will end some time in 2013. I usually spend lots of time selecting the next flower to become a crochet flower pattern and I found that photos are the best source of inspiration. Some of the flower photos were taken by Louise Docker, a truly gifted Australian-based macro photographer. Some were taken by viewers from Ravelry and Facebook and some by me. I always welcome suggestions, so please don't be shy, drop me a message, tell me what is your favourite flower, or your state flower, or your national flower and I'll get onto it.
I've also started a group on Ravelry and called it 365 Crochet Flowers Project , so if you're interested in showing off your creations based on my patterns alongside other crochet enthusiasts, you are more than WELCOME TO JOIN!
That's all about the 365 Crochet Flowers Bouquet Project in other words 365 Crochet Flower Patterns. This page contains photo links to all the crochet patterns I've designed during October and November. For previous months follow the links below or on the sidebar :

You are seriously amazing!!!! So very talented!! I wish I could do what you do. These are the best, most unique, realistic flowers ever. Keep them coming please!? U ROCK!!!!!!
The best ever crochet flower patterns I have ever seen and I am very familiar with patterns on the internet. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent.
OMG, your comments are incredible! THANK YOU!
My work is original, you’re right. I don’t look for inspiration other than the flower photos, so my take on these crochet patterns is completely new.
I love this challenge!
Thank you and come back again
Camelia
Omg just found this blog you are one talented lady i love to crochet but cannot for the life of me know how to design my own pattern. keep them coming they are fatastic
Your work is so impressive. I simply love your flowers. Keep the project up, it’s amazing!
The directory is the perfect addition! Very well done! I don’t get to stop by every day, but I love poking through, seeing what you’ve been up to every time I do visit. Your flower designs are so lovely! Glad to see you’ve started a group on Ravelry, too!
Thank you. Glad you like the flowers
these are awesome…thanks so much…very beautiful flowers…
Yes, awesome is the word. So beautiful! Just lovely. Thank you, thank you. I’m inspired.
Thank you for this wonderful inspiration and ressource. Looking forward to a dandelion. ;o)
Oh, I meant snapdragon (wrong translation) …
You are truly an amazing person. I love all of your flowers.
I love all your flower designs! Could you make an Edelweiss?
Oh ! WOW ! these are truly beautiful; I just might take up your challenge ! will I be able to catch up ? I’ve been looking at all the beautiful colors of coton thread lately, you are giving me an excuse to buy some !
Thank you for the patterns and I am looking forward to visiting the rest of your site.
I am old…. lol and not nimble with my fingers … cah t
his work with a larger hook and yarn? Can they be made with fingering or sock yarn and what size hook. I do so uch want to make these flowers but there is no
way I cand work with “tread”…. Do you prefer a certain brand of yarn and what kind in sock yarn for this project ? Thank u so much! Deb
oh my GOD… I sh ould have spell checked!
No worries, Deb
it happens to me soooo many times.
What can I say about the yarns? Any yarns would do. Most of the patterns are written for lace weight type of yarns, so metal hooks should be anywhere between 1mm-2mm, even up to 2.5mm. If you use thicker yarns the only problem is the flowers might get too big.
What I would do in your place, if time wouldn’t be an issue, I would follow the instructions as they are given, then decide whether I need to resize the pattern.
Or, another idea is to use wool sock yarn and patterns as they are and then felt your flower. I hope this will help. Camelia
What an awesome and ambitious project. I can’t wait to try some of these…thank you for sharing! Looking forward to watching the wonderful variety of flowers grow
Thank you, Natalie. Enjoy it!
I’ve learned so many things about flowers in the past 100 days and have discovered so many I’ve never heard of. Nature’s most remarkable creations…

Thanks for sharing you creativity. I am working on the Calla Lily #44 for my daughter as she loves them. After completing that I am going to do up the Fuchsia #66 as that is one of my favs. Your generosity allows those of us who love to craft but are on very limited budgets the ability to try new crafting projects. You are a true crafter through and through….we all share our ideas and help other crafters as we can….keep up your beautiful work.
they are awesome. You have hust inspired me to work on flower each day. Here’s one site called flowersofindia which has some beautiful photographs of flowers along with information. looking forward for some new patterns from here. thank you
I am SOOO happy,I just found you! Crochet flowers are a passion of mine, and your creations are the BEST. Thank you! Wish you all the best.

I saw on a response you gave in October about publishing a book of all the designs at the end of the project. I think it’s a wonderful idea!! I will definitely be buying a copy when it’s done. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with all of us. You are an amazing designer. I love the mountain laurel pattern. It’s one of my favorite flowers but they only bloom a short time in the spring. Now I can make as many as I want and enjoy them all year long!! Thanks again for sharing!!
Thanks, Melanie. I’m delighted to like the flowers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

still waiting for your newest set of flowers…………….shirley USA………..
Your patterns are all so beautiful! I’ve made several of them over the past few months and it was a fun project to work on during the bleak and cold winter months. I used a heavier yarn and larger hook so the scale is a bit different but stunning to all who have seen them. I plan to make a spring hanging ornament with some of them. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your patterns.
Love the site.Was going crazy trying to find leaves and you can understand the pattern. Thank you for all the work on here.Beautiful..
Just found your blog through the ‘Grandmother’s Pattern Book’ email.
These flowers are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work.
I am making seasonal wreaths for my front door so I am so happy I found you and your flowers.
Still snowing here in Edmonton Alberta so I will keep busy crocheting away. Thanks again.
I’m blown away both by your amazing designs and your generosity in sharing them with us. Thank you for your beautiful gift!
I found you when I was looking at attic24 for inspiration. Your flowers are lifting my low spirits today. I have lost my confidence, I crochet hats and I attended a craft fair Saturday with no customers. That aside, you are amazing and so I thank you.
Narf77 from The Road to Serendipity referred me to your site. I’m SO impressed! Thanks for all the inspiration! ~ Linne
