Springtime Flowers on a String
These simple little flowers are very easy to make. You can combine colours as you like. I made each flower in a single colour, but you can give the centre and the leaves different colours too. In that case, switch to the new colour after row 1. Suggested Yarn: You can use any leftover yarn for these pretty little flowers. I made them with Phildar Phil Cotton 3 in various colours. Hooks: depends on the yarn and your preference. If you use cotton, I recommend size 3. Measures: the individual flowers have a diameter of 4 cm. Make the strings as long as you like.
Abbreviations:
ch - chain (o) sc - simple corchet (+) dc - double crochet (F) sl st - slip stitch () tr - treble crochet ()
Instructions:
Make (in green) a string of chains as long as you want your flowers string to be. Make the individual flowers as follows: Chain 6, sl st in the 1st ch. Row 1: ch1 (counts as sc), 9 sc in the circle of ch. Close the row with a sl st in the 1st ch. Row 2: ch 1 (counts as sc), \*ch2, (dc, tr, dc) in the following sc of the previous row, ch2, sc in the following sc of the previous row\*. Repeat \*..\* 5x. Close the row and fix the flower to the green string with a sl st.Weave in ends.

Applications: you can hang up a string in front of the window or any other place in your house. If you make a number of strings, you can attach them to a rod and use as a door curtain or a room divider. Feel free to use your imagination.
