This crochet bridal bouquet & boutonniere are sure to be a hit with the bride and groom! They are fun-to-make and help to stretch the wedding budget!
These pieces can be customized for any wedding. I used colors to coordinate with my daughter-in-law’s dress, but you can use any colors you desire for yours.
This 20-page pattern includes many photos, a specific list of all the materials I used to make these floral pieces and step-by-step assembly instructions to make your own floral pieces. The pattern also includes specific instructions to crochet the covered Styrofoam pieces (half ball and cone), as well as the leaves on the bouquet. I stiffened the fern on the boutonniere with wire, which I explain how to do in the pattern for your boutonniere. You may crochet and stiffen your fern, as I did, or use an artificial fern in your boutonniere.
PLEASE NOTE: This pattern does NOT include specific instructions for making the flowers and fern. I used some free and some paid flower and fern patterns for my floral pieces. Because of US copyright laws, I cannot include the written instructions for these copyrighted patterns. I have, however, included information, photos and links where you can find the patterns that I used (for free and for sale), if you’d like to use the same ones. You may choose to use the same patterns or find other flower and fern patterns that you like.

This eye-catching afghan will make heads turn! It’s made with single crochet stitches in the Tapestry Crochet (or Fair Isle) technique, with color changes in the majority of the rows. Most rows are worked in the back loop and all rows are worked on the right side. There are NO ends to weave in, since they’re all turned into fringe on the 2 side edges of the afghan! And with this reversible technique, the back is just as pretty as the front!
This afghan measures 44” wide (plus fringe) x 60” high, but can easily be made wider or narrower by working more or less repeats, as described in the pattern.
This pattern includes written instructions for the afghan and the fringe, an easy-to-read chart for the color changes that form the snowflakes design and a check list to keep track of which row you’re working. Also included are step-by-step photos for working in the back bump of the foundation chain (for a finished look to the bottom edge), carrying the unused color, joining with a sc, working in the back loop of the stitches and how to work the color changes.
This pattern was previously published in 2014 through the Mainly Crochet website, which was a yearly crochet pattern subscription website. That website will be closing at the end of 2019 and this pattern won’t be available there, but it’s available to purchase now as a single PDF download here (no subscription needed)!
Edited July 17, 2020:
I have filmed a crochet video on the Tapestry Crochet technique that is used in this afghan pattern. If you’re not familiar with the Tapestry Crochet technique, please watch my video to learn the technique and become familiar with it so you’ll be successful with your It Takes All Colors Snowflakes Afghan! Here’s the link to that video.

This half-skein scarf uses an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern that works up quickly and is completely reversible! The shading of the yarn color gives it more depth!

If a wider or longer scarf is desired, more of the skein of yarn can be used. Just cast on more stitches and/or work more rows (in the correct pattern multiples) in the scarf.
