Work In Progress: Garden Flowers Throw
A few months back, I found the Garden Flowers Throw from Yarnspirations. I’ve been thinking about it ever since and have finally committed to making it!
I attempted to buy the same yarn they used for it (Caron One Pound) but none of the local stores here have the Persimmon color and I don’t love the yarn enough to bother ordering it online. So I ended up using Soft Secret from Hobby Lobby in the colors Dark Walnut and Wine.
I’m thinking of using Lion Brand Heartland in Joshua Tree as the outer part of the squares but I also really like dark tan as the background so I’m undecided right now. I’m going to make all of the flowers and then decide.
I’m thinking of making maybe 10 orange flowers using Bittersweet and Saffron and placing them randomly.
This is a really simple pattern and it’s easy to memorize, which is awesome. So far I have 12/99 flowers done.
I was thinking this would be a fun crochet along. Anyone wanna join me? I could start a weekly link up where we can share our progress! :)
I really like your flowers do you have the pattern for it
I love these flowers! I am so glad you posted this. I am looking for something pretty to make a pillow from and now I found it! I love your colors. I love the simplicity of the pattern. Yours is going to be great, and I am going to save this to make my flowers from. Thanks for sharing! I follow!

This is a very pretty motif. I may join you in doing some of these – even if I don’t do this motif exclusively. Afghan I’m working on (for CalKing bed – so it has to be HUGE!) does n lot of motifs…so far I’ve a mixture of different ones that seem to work well together…using lots of shades of blue with some grey and centers of some of the motifs are gold. Sounds weird, but so far they seem to work well together. I’d like to have the Sophie’s Garden Mandala Square in the center (see Look At What I Made for that one.)
I may try a couple of these motifs today and see how they look with the rest of the ‘gang’!
Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us.
I love the colours you chose for your throw. It’s going to look amazing.
