Crochet Your African Violets

by 6 Comments

My mother has a magic way of growing African Violets.  She has pots and pots full of the little beauties.  Sometimes I call them little ‘buggers’ since I can’t keep the darn things alive for two weeks!  But, here I find a way that I can’t possibly fail with African Violets.  I can crochet some for myself!  Maya at the littletreasures.blogspot.com has created a picture tutorial to share her lovely little violets with all of us.  You can see her tutorial here.

Clearly Maya is as much a fan of crocheted flowers as I am.  She offers several tutorials and free patterns to create them.  Her Mini Flowers tutorial is also a winner!  In fact, Maya’s blog is so charming that I spent quite a bit of time browsing through all her posts, finding lots of crochet goodies there.  Check it out for yourself.  I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!

  3. Same here my Mom could pull a leaf for & put it in dirt & it grow I go near them & they die. but I could do these. Sweet

  4. I can’t find a photo tutorial, just a link to etsy to purchase the pdf 🙁
    Isn’t this considered advertising?

  5. Pam,
    This was researched and written months ago. I truly do not recall if the tutorial was free at that time or not. But, in any event, people are not allowed to charge for their work – designs, tutorials, whatever. My blog articles are not advertisements. They are often a compilation of great crochet designs and products I’ve found on the internet or elsewhere.

  6. I simply had to react to Pam’s comment and write an explanation.
    The African Violet pattern was never free – JD featured my mini flowers (which is a free tutorial) and was also taken by the African violet and decided to include that one too in the blog post.
    I am sorry about all the inconvenience this might have cause JD!
