Brilliant book for crafters who are looking for inspiration, the projects in the book can used in so many ways and using different fabrics the possibilities are endless. Embellishing any number of crafting project from clothing to household items and even card making when fine yarns and small size hooks are used to create tiny but beautiful flowers etc to name but a few.

Saves having to search for everything one by one online when you have all the flowers you need in one book. All I can say is that I hope she does a sequel- butterfly’s, other animals, as her forte is clearly nature inspired.

Le livre est très bien fait.
Avec les photos et schémas, l’anglais n’est pas indispensable
Préface intéressante.
Seul bémol, je m’attendais à plus de modèles de fleurs, il y en a 50 en tout (certaines classiques, d’autres plus intéressantes). Ensuite viennent des modèles de granny, de points et de bordures.
Je pense que ce livre est plutôt destiné aux débutantes.

This book is a real delight for all crochet & knitting addicts – which I am. But even if not the artistry & skill behind the work presented is there for all admire. I have aleady completed several of the flowers, and am planning several of the the butterflies soon. The instructions with diagrams (for the crochet) make it really very simple.
Definitely a VERY good buy.

I absolutely love this book! Not only does it have different types of flowers to make, it also have an amazing variety of trims! I can see that I’ll be putting this to good use! 😁😁

I love this book. I’ve been crocheting for over a year now and loves making flowers. I’m so pleased it’s in US Terms because that’s how I learnt to crochet. It is so good not having to try and convert it from English to US terms.
The only thing I would say about this book is it’s not for a beginner. They give color photos of the flowers but they don’t say when to change the colors and if your new to this that can be quite annoying.

I don’t make a lot of flowers so wouldn’t have instinctively bought this but it has turned out to be really useful for a number of projects. There are excellent examples of how stitch patterns can be created so you can use it for the basis of scarves, cushions etc. with extremely clear photographs.
The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is that the terminology is written for American crocheters rather than European, so you do have to take care to “translate” it into UK terms. But there are lots of nice clear diagrams so it’s easy to double check what you’re doing.

This book is packed with fun! In addition to a wonderful variety of flowers ( and leaves) there are patterns you can use to finish work with delightful edgings. There is a whole chapter that includes 50 patterns for making crochet fabric ( think blankets and shawls). If you are a “granny square” nut you will love the chapter that includes 50 different motifs – squares, hexagons,circles- from lacy and floral to geometric, that could be turned into an afghan ( for joining crochet motifs see the front of the book “help” section) or used to make or decorate many craft items. Each pattern comes with a sharp,color photo of the finished design so that you can see the stitch detail. Under this, you will find clear written directions. Below that, CHARTS are given for each design ( and if you do not know how to read those diagrams yet, there is an explanation in the front “help” chapters that includes the Crochet Chart Symbols. As if that were not enough, each pattern comes with a key for the chart symbols so that you do not need to flip back and forth….or so your pattern xerox carried in your work bag has complete info.) I find the charts invaluable because I can tell at a glance, without reading lines of directions and needing to imagine what is going on, exactly how an item will be made and if I need to learn or review a stitch before taking it on. In addition, I can glance at the charts when a work is in progress to get a quick reminder of where I am in a project. The front of the book has very useful information for the beginner and anyone who needs a quick reference or brush up on -Fibers, Colors, Yarn Weights, Tools and Equipment, Gauge, Basic Stitches (with explanations and photos) and More Complex Stitches, Following Crochet Patterns and more.
Sure, you can find other books with similar information on making flowers. I also own Croched Flowers by Nicky Epstein,100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet by Lesley Stanfield, Crochet Bouquet by Suzann Thompson, Crochet Flowers For Every Wear by Kooler Design Studio, and various magazines and crochet books that include more patterns. These are all really good books and I use them depending on what I want to make for any given project.
What I think is simply outstanding about 200 Crochet Flowers, Embellishments & Trims is the variety of information and really pretty patterns all in one book. For the price of a single monthly crochet magazine, you get a resource that will stay in use and in your home library for years.
That is why I come back to Amazon and purchase this book when I want a really nice gift for a friend who loves to crochet or for a student who is new to the wonderful world of crochet art!

This book was for my 10year old who loves to crochet. She is happy with the book however ours arrived with “double print” so many paragraphs are hard to read-almost makes me feel motion sickness. However Amazon were helpful to resolve the issue when I contacted them dissatisfied.

I had a couple of difficulties so wrote to the contact and the response was superb.

Borrowed this book from my library and enjoyed it so much I decided to buy a copy. Good instructions and plenty of pictures and diagrams. Plenty of ideas, and would suit beginners and experienced crochet fans.
