Today we are making the Small Flower Blossoms I used in my version of the Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging.

The center of the Small Flower Blossom uses a smaller version of the Viola Flower. The petals are created by using a multiple of stitches in one space around the Viola Flower.

The Small Flower Blossoms Crochet Pattern was a joint effort between me and my Ma when she came for a visit. She was the one who taught me how to crochet over 25 years ago. We were working on a Fall Centerpiece and she wanted flowers to go with it. This crochet design is what we came up with.
The center part of the Small Flower Blossom uses a version my Viola Flower that I used in my Granny Viola Scarf Crochet Pattern. You can find the premium Granny Viola Scarf Crochet Pattern at my Ravelry Store and LoveCrafts.

Lilac Cluster Stitch
I created this crochet stitch when I designed my Lilac Cluster Beanie and Lilac Cluster Cowl crochet patterns. The original version of the Lilac Cluster Stitch is worked in the round. You can find both of these crochet patterns at my Ravelry or LoveCrafts Stores.

Lilac Cluster Cowl
Lilac Cluster Stitch Video Tutorials
The Lilac Cluster Stitch uses 2 main crochet stitches, the FPDC3TOG or the front post double crochet 3 together and the FPDC6TOG or the front post double crochet 6 together.
You can find a Left Handed Video Tutorial on my YouTube Channel for my Lilac Cluster Beanie Part 1 and Part 2, that shows you how the Lilac Cluster Stitch was originally used.

You can also find more of my Left Handed Video Tutorials on my YouTube Channel.
I always wanted to use the lilac cluster stitch in a design that works in rows. The first crochet pattern I tried with the Lilac Cluster Stitch with rows was the Oyster Shell Scarf. I loved using this stitch in rows so much that I had to make another crochet design with this crochet stitch!

Are you looking to add a little luxury to your wardrobe? Well, using the Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern will help you achieve just that!
The Welsh Poncho Crochet Pattern uses a crochet stitch that I fell in love with last year, the Triad Stitch. The Triad Stitch is just like a Puff Stitch, only it is done over 3 stitches.
The Triad Stitch has one meaning that I fell in love with, this is where I came up with it’s name Welsh. Triad means a Welsh form of literary composition with an arrangement of subjects or statements in groups of three.
If you think about a crochet pattern it is made up of 3 things:
using crochet stitches to create the design
a composition of writing the crochet pattern
taking pictures to showcase the design
I first used the Triad Stitch in my Welsh Braided Cowl Crochet Pattern (see info below) In the designing of the Welsh Braided Cowl I using another meaning of Triad, the braiding of three things together, this is where the Braided part of the design came in. You can find out more about this below.
This kind of sounds like an English lesson, doesn’t it?! lol
