There’s something so satisfying about a quick and easy crochet pattern that can be finished in an hour or less. That’s part of the reason we can’t get enough of the Spring Fling Crochet Flower Applique. Originally featured in the Spring Fling Floral Tote from I Like Crochet magazine, we pulled out the flower pattern for everyone to enjoy. Aside from being quick to make, crochet flower appliques are great for a variety of uses: they’re great scrap projects and can be added to a variety of project types for a little touch of summer. We hope you enjoy!

I am making flowers and putting pins on the backs for all the ladies in an Assisted Living facility in my community for Mother’s Day in memory of my mom. There are 36 ladies so I am starting now.
Hi Dianne, I’m living in an assisted living facility in Temecula, Cal. I crochet too and would like to know what area you live in to see if contacting you would be useful, sincerely, Liz
