Crochet flowers

I write again about my new passion - crochet! The next step is making crochet flowers. I will use it to decorate my jewelry. I found tutorials in Internet and I made first crochet flowers: one small grey and two red. 




Crochet flower can be used to decorate not only necklaces, but also hats, scarves, bags and clothing. Great idea is to use crochet flowers in interior design. Your home will be charged of brightly summer colors, that will always bloom! At home you can use crochet flowers to decorate pillows, curtains, bedcover and of course for the table.

My first crochet balls and granny squares

 With my passion to crochet last time I always look for crochet tutorials. I found great article about granny squares here. For many times I dream to make a scarf in this style so this is occasion to make it. I bought bamboo yarn of two colors. The first is white-gray-green yarn and the second is white-rose-purple-beige-blu. This is granny squares I already made:

 Of course when I will finish my scarf-cowl I first go to make photos)

 I also attempt to make crochet balls. I have many ideas to make new necklaces with fabric and crochet balls that I will realize when I will return in Italy.
