 ANNA NIKIPIROWICZ
When I saw the glorious new colours of the Florist Collection I instantly fell in
love. Not only because I adore flowers but also because Signature 4ply is one
of my favourite yarns.
Flowers are wonderful projects to crochet as they are quick, decorative and fun
to make. They are a wonderful way to brighten an outfit, to wear in your hair or
to pin to your favourite shawl or bag. Decorate and brighten your home with
flower garlands, adorn cushions... the possibilities are endless.
In this booklet you will find 13 flowers and plants corresponding to each name
in the Florist Collection. I have tried to stay as true to the flowers as possible,
some of them are a representation of the whole flower like the Foxglove, some
just a small part of it like the Honeysuckle.
From Dusty Miller to Sweat Pea I wanted to make the flowers stand out and
create a design deserving of their individual beauty. Some are 3-D, such as
the Hydrangea, Cornflower and Peony, others are simpler & more delicate.
I have tried to create a mixture of designs that will appeal to both beginners
and advanced crocheters.
Hope you enjoy crocheting the flowers as much as I enjoyed designing them.

Happy crocheting.
