Discover the art of creating stunning crochet collages with this incredible collection of 100 patterns for crochet flowers, plants, and petals! Crochet designer and gardener, Chris Norrington, has crafted a mesmerizing array of 100 crochet motifs, beautifully arranged into 10 captivating collages. These motifs are inspired by the breathtaking flowers and plants found in her enchanting cottage garden, nestled on the edge of the picturesque North York Moors National Park.

Each motif in this collection is thoughtfully designed, drawing inspiration from the colors and shapes found in nature. While some patterns may resemble specific plant species, they are intended to capture the essence and beauty of nature rather than provide precise botanical representations. From front-on views of vibrant flowers in full bloom to delicate side profiles, half-opened blossoms, buds, seedheads, berries, and fungi, Chris has included a diverse range of designs to inspire your creativity.

The collages themselves showcase a variety of themes and compositions. You'll find wreaths, bouquets, and arrangements in jugs and vases, as well as motifs that gracefully grow straight from the ground. The Woodland Glade collage evokes a sun-dappled, shady forest corner with ferns and snowdrops, while the Vintage Blue Bouquet collage is inspired by the soft pastel colors of Lily-of-the-valley and Scabious. The Flower Meadow collage conjures a prairie-style meadow with ornamental grasses interspersed with towering perennial flowers.

With this collection, you have the freedom to recreate the collages designed by Chris or to mix and match the motifs of your favorite plants and flowers to create your own unique creations. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a beginner, this book provides endless possibilities for artistic expression. So grab your crochet hooks, unleash your imagination, and let your creativity soar as you embark on a journey of crocheting breathtaking collages that celebrate the beauty of nature.
