Crocheted Plush Popcorn Stitch Flower Pattern
Looking for a gorgeous crocheted flower that is fun to make, has lots of plush dimension and looks fantastic? Here it is, the crocheted popcorn stitch flower that could be called a dahlia or even a chrysanthemum. And as you can see from this photo this flower is the perfect partner with the simple 2 row crocheted popcorn stitch flower, and in fact they are siblings! I do have to say, this flower is unlike most crocheted flowers as it is very plush! So I’d say that the wisest thing to do is to use it as an applique of some kind (which is what I have actually done, project…

Simple Crocheted Flower Pattern Using The Popcorn Stitch
The almond trees are now in bloom here in Northern Isreal, so it is a great time to whip up some simple little crocheted flowers that can be used in so many ways for spring crafting. Now let me tell you, this little 2 row flower is no ordinary crocheted flower as it is puffy, on account of the popcorn stitch which is used to form the petals, and since I used chunky yarn, these little guys have a depth of around 1/2″, which means they make perfect appliques for all kinds of decorative accessories such as pillows, wall hangings, garlands, you name it!

Now we are in the process of redecorating my daughter’s room, so the wall hanging has come down, but it is still such a wonderful project that I thought I’d share it with you again! I did spend some time working up some more of these cherry blossom popcorn stitch hearts…

Crocheted Cherry Blossom Heart Is Super Sweet!
It is now the Jewish month of Shevat, so dear friends it is certainly time to start thinking about crafts for Tu B’Shevat, the holiday which celebrates the new year for the trees. Yes, really, trees have a new year’s too, isn’t that amazing? While much of the Western World celebrates the tree in December, we do it around February, just as winter is coming to an end and the very first stirrings of spring and re-birth are happening. The first blossoms in Israel (which happens around Tu B’Shevat give or take) are those of the almond tree, whose blossoms are very much like cherry blossoms, so I’d say this…
