We’re going to learn how to do an altered version of the scalloped stitch today, that is the crochet scalloped flower. This stitch gives the creations a smooth round finish. So, we’ve created two pretty flowers that are ideal for brightening up tops, jackets or bathroom linen but they could be a great idea for a summer blanket too.

We’ve chosen our Lincoln yarn in the colour Eyeshadow to do the crochet scalloped flower stitch. Glossy and wafer-thin, it’s ideal for giving flowers a delicate look.

Let’s get started.
