Flower Patch Afg

Like a perfectly manic

of flowers reflects sun

This pattern would als

scraps and creating a

Rose Octagon

No colors can capture the depth of the rose

like these shades of red, and the velvety

softness of the yarn is what you expect in

this motif.

Golden Hexagon

 Who wouldn’t love this little buttercup? It

is reminiscent of daffodils. Crochet up a

bouquet of these blooms!

Oval in a Rectangle

There just aren’t enough ovals in crochet.Use these in a project for a combination of

soft and hard lines.

South Beach

Inspired by the Art Deco style of buildings

in Miami, Florida, imagine this little rect-

angle in stucco.

Pick a Posie

Bright and cheerful, this motif looks like

the Gerbera daisy!

Beveled

This lightly textured motif is similar to the

bottom of an ornate wine glass.
