Customer Review
This is a small, well written book that shows you how to crochet flowers using written instructions.
I've always found flowers a bit fiddly and I've usually given up pretty quickly whenever I've tried to make any before. I persevered with these as the instructions were nice and clear and I'm happy with the results. I still really want to make the hydrangeas but I haven't found the spheres for the centre yet. It also has the instructions at the back of the book to make a wreath cover which would be a great project.
You can see the flowers I have made from the book here.
