Carnation Flower

You can make a bouquet of this lovely carnation flower by adding a stem, or make them as bookmarks, or use them as an applique for your clothes, bags, hairpins, pendant for jewelry and more. This pattern contains different types of instructions: the written instructions, photo tutorial and crochet diagram, to let you choose which type of tutorial you prefer. The yarn used here is the famous crochet thread in the Philippines, Monaco mercerized cotton which is close to Aunt Lydia’s #10 or #3 crochet thread. You can make this bigger by using a bigger thread/ yarn. Gauge is not really important for making this adorable embellishment, it can be easily adjusted for a wider range of sizes by using different sized yarns and hooks.
