Crochet Flower Combos Part 4: Special Effects

Crochet Flower Combos patterns 23 - 36 comprise the last of our designs - for now! 

Fun techniques and shapes make these flowers really special, and I had a blast thinking them up - hope you enjoy them!

Important: please check out the info page if you haven't already :)

Links to the other patterns in the flower combos series:

Part 1: Pretty and Simple - patterns 1 - 8

Part 2: Leaves and Stems - patterns 9 - 16

Part 3: Middles - patterns 17 - 22

Now we can put together all of the combos in the series, making for some amazingly unique creations!

The two examples below give you an idea of the possibilities, and there are more combo suggestions below the patterns on this page.

First, a very delicate combo of two Solomon's flowers, one in pink, one in gray, both crocheted in sports-weight yarn, plus the Mamselle flower from Part 1, crocheted in white thread for the center. This flower has to be sewn together.

Then we have Dragontail in dark green and Dragontail Baby in light blue. Pop the larger dragontails through the tails of our baby from back to front and it stays together pretty well! Would also make quite a nifty Christmas tree decoration :)
