Patterns, projects and techniques
I had just been admiring a knitted and felted bag that looks very much like this little crocheted number! When I saw this, I just had to share it. The knitted and felted version uses wool yarn for the body of the purse then one of those pretty flounce yarns added to create the ruffles. In the one featured here. Sheenaz has created almost the same bag in crochet. I like the look so much! Sheenaz offers a free pattern for this project too. Doesn’t get much better than that!
There’s something so timeless about a floral crochet square—and this free Flower Square Blanket pattern from HiCrochet has totally captured my heart. It’s a beautiful blend of vintage charm and fresh, modern layout, with each square showcasing a bold, blooming flower at its center. Whether you’re creating a full-size blanket or just want to experiment with the squares for cushions or smaller projects, this pattern is super versatile—and totally free.
If you’re a fan of colorful motifs and modular projects, this one’s going to be a joy to stitch. I love how each flower square feels like its own little work of art, and putting them all together really makes the whole blanket pop. It’s the kind of pattern you’ll keep coming back to—easy to customize, beginner-friendly, and endlessly satisfying. Grab your favorite yarn colors, start stitching, and let those flowers bloom!
That is really cute, but not for me. I would like to see the knitted version of this bag and try to make it for a friend.
Marilyn,
Contact Georgia through her shop website http://hearthstoneknitsonline.com/ and ask her for details on the knitted bag. I believe she has published it in a knitting magazine.
