"Delicate and fanciful flowers to crochet, made using fine crochet thread, are popular amongst crafters. Small in scale, the thread is transformed into a lush garden of lacy blossoms, leaves, and plants. From ethereal ferns to abundant ivies to vibrant wildflowers there are patterns for every season. Portable and easy to make on the go, they are a great way to use up leftover thread. Also, lace never goes out of style! The touch of elegance lace adds to garments and accessories makes this a wonderful book for crafters looking for timeless embellishments for their projects. For those new to crochet, there's a quick refresher course at the beginning of the book. Then the directory of flowers, organized by color and season, will have readers returning to the book all year round to create new designs for different occasions. Lastly, a projects section provides inspiration for using the finished flowers, whether you want to make a whole bouquet to brighten a room or a single applique to embellish a garment or hat, the possibilities are endless!"--

Sunflowers are bold and bright flowers that have inspired painters and designers for years. Master knitter and designer Kristin Nicholas grows her own field of colorful sunflowers and now brings the iconic sunflower to fiber life using knitting, crochet, felting, and embroidery. Included are designs for over thirty different sunflower blooms and buds in a variety of sizes, plus eight different leaf and vine designs, and a host of critters who live in a sunflower field—from birds and honeybees, to butterflies and caterpillars—a total of fifty items. Laid out like the previous books in the series, the book includes all the useful information you need for making the flowers—which needles, crochet hooks, embroidery needles, and types of yarns to use, plus a special explanation of how to choose yarn that felts well. In the "How to Work with Color" section, photographs of actual sunflowers are translated into stitched samples that give the reader visual cues on how to combine colors in their crafting. Organized into knitted and crocheted items, with additional instructions incorporated for felting, the "How-To" section includes full step-by-step pattern instructions and charts where appropriate. The last part of the book features over fifteen projects for using the sunflowers in many and varied ways, from embellishing mittens, to decorating a grapevine wreath to a felted potholder, to making a child's toy, and more!
