On my last post lots of folks were wanting a crochet rose pattern...
I haven't got around to writing out my flower patterns... and I think right now I may not have the time to do any more work on patterns until after the holidays!!

My flower designs are all variations of traditional Irish crochet roses but I work them so they are fuller and more 3D looking than the flatter style of Irish crochet. Most crochet stitch guides have a basic Irish crochet rose, you could mess around with the basic idea and see what you can come up with...

Knitty.com has a pretty crochet rose pattern (the flower is at the bottom of the page) Theirs is made using a different technique but it gives a nice 3D effect.

I dont know of any other good looking flower patterns and believe me, I have looked everywhere!!

Thanks for all your nice comments about my work everyone!
