This advanced flower pattern is a lively applique that draws on multiple crochet techniques to form its unique shape. By working in the round, slipping stitches, and working in the back post, the crocheted fabric will form into a layered structure that appears more and more like a vibrant flower as the project progresses.
Attach this beautiful applique on anything from shirts, headbands, backpacks, flip flops (a tutorial for this one is coming soon), and more. It has such a warm tropical vibe, especially with the pictured yarn colors!
