I love to crochet, so when I saw the Fleurettes in the new SU catty I wanted to make some. I studied the picture and wrote up my own instructions. This is the first time I've written crochet instructions for someone else to read - I hope they made sense!

I just got out my old crochet hooks- I am not sure how to convert to a size 3.... I may have to go buy a new one. Thanks for this info- cannot wait to try this
I have 1.3 mm =size 10
1.65mm=size 7
2.75 mm = sz 1
How do I convert the stitches to my crochet hook size and threat size 8? I imagine if I just play around with it I will figure it out.......
I will post if I can figure it out in the next few days

Hello!
Size 3 = 2.10 mm
Thread size 8 is close in size to the size 10 that I used. The flowers would be a little different size. You can try making the flowers in different sizes of hooks, to get the size of flower you'd like.

thank you so much for the pattern. tonight i made 10 of these while watching a one hour program on tv. the pattern was easy and the flowers quite beautiful (if i do say so myself!). i have quite a stash of colors and sizes of thread from the thicker #5 perl cotton to the thinnest #100 cotton thread (this size is thinner than sewing thread). i have picked up these various sizes and colors at garage and estate sales over the years. some of these colors are not manufactured any more, which is sad because they are beautiful colors. my mother's friends also have given me their stashes simply because they cannot see well enough anymore. i love that i am able to incorporate card making with my other passion--crocheting.
Kelly, thanks so much for your comment on my card! That prompted me to visit your gallery where I found your beautiful cards with crocheted flowers, and from there, this thread where you so generously shared your directions for making these flowers. I can hardly wait to get started! Your cards are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Kelly! It's been a long time since I have been creating and I always love your ideas. I'm really excited to make some little flowers and appreciate your guide here. You're awesome. I hope you're doing fantastic! ox Kelly
These flowers look great. I can't wait to try them. I just have one question. On your instructions you use the abbreviation "sk". I have never seen that before. What exactly does it mean? Thank you!
Amy

I think the "sk" means skip.
Oops, we posted at the same time.

OMGosh! I am taking a crochet class on Wed this week!!!!!!!! I am thrilled to have this pattern. Now to figure out what hook sizes are....I have seen in the same display 1-2-3, A B C, and 1.5 - 2.5 mm...all I can say is I am confused. I am sure they will explain this on Wed and now I have a class project! yipppeeee!
Thanks so much for this information. I have patterns for flowers, but it is so helpful to see flowers on cards and know what size crochet hook was used to make them. Your samples are beautiful and inspiring.
I used one of the number 1 pattern on this card that I just uploaded. I think I actually used the backside of the flower, as it had a nice puff to it and worked well for a baby card. Thanks again, Kelly!
