- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- The Crochet Flora Afghan is made up of 7 different granny square motifs that are filled with textured. Inspired by Monty Don’s historical look at French and Italian Gardens, this afghan is intended to showcase crochet at its very best.
This is an intermediate level crochet project. With the help of the tutorials provided, you may be able to complete one of these. All 7 motifs work together which means, if you prefer to omit particular squares, you can do so and substitute with adding more of the other squares in the afghan.
Suggesting to use Caron One Pound with 6 mm / J hook.

Thank you for being the easiest crocheter to follow!!! You are awesome! Not too fast not too slow!!! You are always my go-to!!! I will try this pattern!
That standing DC/TR has changed my life!
Omg I follow allot of people how to crochet all woman but you awsome easy to follow the best thank u 😁
What a fantastic square. Can't wait to start it, also going to use this square as a centre piece for a baby blanket I intend to crochet, then continue with double crochet until big enough. Once again great tutorial, thanks to the person who wanted this converted into a pattern, . Have a great day take care, x
I made this blanket back in 2019 and then gifted it to my mom as a Christmas gift. I'm thinking about starting another one. It was one of the moat fun I had making a blanket and still my most involved project to date!
That's wonderful! Enjoy the stitching journey.
Love the standing stitch. So neat and clean! Great job on instruction--crocheter for over 50 years!
I just finished my very first square and it's simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Thank you so very much for this wonderful tutorial and this very exciting Crochet Along Mikey!!!!! I love it so far!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for making this SAL. It’s beautiful! ❤
Lovely! I recommend you to all the people I know who want to learn crochet.. after I have shown the basics. Sometimes painfully!
Just made my first square for this project. Pattern and directions are easy to follow.
I have never been inspired to make an afghan of someone else's design ... until now! This is amazing and it looks beautiful. However, I'm going to use a UK DK weight 4 and a 6 mm hook as I don't want it so big. To time myself, I shall begin it next Friday evening (21st June) and see how it goes. Pics will follow if it is of good enough quality. Thanks Mikey - you really are my go-to mentor. By the way I've been crocheting for 67 years and I'm still learning.
Thanks Mikey! You’re a champ!
I love this pattern... I don't like too much holes in an Afgan ... This is perfect
Absolutely gorgeous pattern, such an amazing design but also so simple to follow !! Love it!! Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you for the great tutorial. I made my floral afghan and I love it.
You're welcome.
I came across this video and thought..why not? It was fun and appreciate the "intermediate" commentary. I did learn fr this video about a standing SC, DC and TC though. Thanks Mikey! I'll work my way through these flowers slowly. Love your videos and keep up the Great work 😁
Love this design. Completed square 1.
Hi Mikey, from South Africa. Can't wait to get going with my first square. Thanks for your great tutorial, you explain how to do the square in such a great way.
Thank you for making this pattern so effortless I tried it and it turned out beautifully thank you!
Wow! I’ve seen this on CZcams, but never really looked at it! How pretty! I can’t decide on pink with an off white background or Rose with a light background!!
Maybe just try a small sample and see what appeals to you the most. I bet you have your favourite approach.
Buenas tardes, bendiciones. Muy agradecida y feliz de poder contar con sus explicaciones para poder tejer esta hermosa colcha. Dios bendiga su vida, su familia, sus manos, su talento. Que seamos muchísimos sus seguidores. Saludos cordiales y bendiciones para usted y su familia desde Minatitlán, Veracruz. México 🙏🏻👍🏻🙋🏻🇲🇽😷🏠🙏🏻
Just a happy little shout out from the Colorado Rocky Mountains! I have just completed my first Chrysanthemum flower! The pattern is just a pleasure to work. The flow of the stitches, the ease of top stitching, I just love it! The textures just pull your eyes in and I can't wait to do the other two. I started crocheting when I was 14 years old. I learned how to make Granny Square Pillows from a "how-to" brochure. Back then, a book or a mentor was the only way to learn, no internet. That basic pattern has been my only repetoire of stitches for 41 years! Whew! That's a lot of years! I started watching you about 3 years ago and I have learned so many things from your patterns and videos. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled across CZcams and "The Crochet Crowd". Your instruction has taken me from a lifetime of being a "Beginner" to the next level of Creativity. Not only has my repetoire grown in leaps and bounds, but I am reading diagrams now! Me! Cool right?! Thank you for these studies in texture, color and design! Never stop being who you are and how you influence people in such positive ways. Crochet is my life, my Valium (lol) and my motivation to never stop creating. Sunshine always to you, Daniel and The Crochet Crowd!
Hello my friend
Done can't wait for May!
OH BOY!!!! HERE WE GO!!!! THANKS MIKEY!!!!
So perfect timing for me to make things like chrysanthemum. We use that flower representing death mostly. And I've been seeing black and white yarns and lace yarns everywhere while other vivid colors are missing for some reason.
Wow, that's very beautiful.. love the way u arranged your colors... fabulous!!
Wow I loved this square. Was a very good challenge for me! Thanks and can’t wait till the next one!
Love this block. Thank you Mikey for such a great instruction video... 👍🏼🤗
Hello
I love the Flora Afghan , it’s beautiful. Thank you for all the new techniques & stitches you’ve taught me and all the ones I’ll be learning in this SAL.
Mikey this afghan is amazing and the colours are perfection🤩 Can not wait to have this on my hook. Thank you take care and stay safe🤩
Thank you Mikey, one of the best teachers I've ever had! Can't wait for the other squares!
Mikey I use a plastic tapestry needle that curves at the end. Makes weaving in the ends easier.
Thank you Mikey for showing how easy to do this square. I love how you explain how to do each round of this square.l will be making this square for sure. Thank you again Mikey!!!!!!!! Terri from Alabama
Is it just me...that is the front form color glass of the Cathédrale of Notre-Dame...who burn 3 days ago. That is fantastik, I want to honor it ;-) Thank you, beautiful!
L. Déjeune Hi,
I took a picture of the stain glass because I said that is so beautiful to crochet as an pattern ...as I read your comment I looked at my finished work and it reminds me of the stain glass window. So many churches have beautiful windows.
Enjoy,
Penny
I'm actually doing the cathedral rose window pattern. no tutorials on video though. do a web search. It's very beautiful.
I'm confused. In round 3, you put 5 stitches in each of the 12 slots... 5 x 12 = 60. I have 60 stitches. But the printed instructions say that I should have 48 stitches after round 3... what have I done wrong? I have 12 of the 2dc,ch1,2dc... that's 5 stitches... help!!! (sorry I'm late - I broke my wrist and now I'm working on catching up.) At min. 4:43 you say there will be 12 of these (these being 5 stitches each...NO???). 12x5=60. I'm so confused!!!
I have the same issue. If you follow the pattern for row 3, it will have 60 stitches instead of 48 and it is curling. Maybe the yarn I'm using is too thick, though it is still Caron One Pound. From what I can see, it needs the 12 spaces to build off from. So what I did to modify, to account for the thick yarn is 2dc then ch 1 on the sp between 2 stiches, if that makes sense :)
I didn't really think I could do this but after watching the video I am going to try it as soon as I finish the spring cal and my sheldon squared.
Mikey PLEASE READ THIS!!!!! Please can you do a video on how to make LACE SHORTS. I found one other video on you tube on how to do it but she doesn’t teach it well it’s all out of order and confusing. Your the only person I know that teaches where I can understand. Ive been wanting to make lace shorts for my daughter as bathing suit cover and some for myself. Please please please!!!! 😁
I’ve never done a pattern of yours but my mother has tons of wonderful things to say. I figured I would give it a go I’m absolutely in love so far can’t wait to see the next part ❤️
Hi Mikey- could you do a video on a matching bed sham? I’m doing the whole bedspread with one design the chrysanthemum. It’s beautiful but would love a matching sham. I’ve done several of your patterns.
Thank you from Florida.
Thanks Mickey. For doing all your great videos. You made than lots easier to do the pattern. Keep up the great job
Your job is beautiful...!!!!
Adoro seus trabalhos mto lindo
Hi Mikey!!! I am so loving this pattern!! Thank you for all of your awesome patterns!! This one is so pretty!! I can't wait to see the other patterns when they become available!! Thanks again!!
Beautiful! I can’t wait to get started! I picked colors similar to my living room, burgundy, sage green, espresso brown and an off white. But I also want to make a more colorful one as well for my bedroom!
Really enjoyed making this Square, awesome, thanks for all your hard work! Beautiful 💕
Wow a lead made it you go girl, I have too many on the go, need to finish my blanket I am doing brfore STARTING this great blanket, xx
You are my first!!! Crochet teacher. Love your mandal series esp.
Hi Mikey,
Hope all is well.
Thanks for the e-book and tutorial of first Flora.
I completely my first lesson. One of my side was off, but it all worked out beautiful.
Next square I will keep a track of my count.
Thanks
Well, I'll be damned! for some reason, I started round 8 and did dcbp's in all the appropriate spots except I just continued around without crocheting down towards the centre and back up again! I did the up and down on the following round AND dcbp as well. In effect, I've created another row but have continued on to the end of the square. So now my dilemma - I can leave the 'extra' round in and make the same 'mistake' on the next 2 squares or I can frog the first square back to Rnd 8 and take this as a lesson about paying attention. I have a feeling I'll be going with option 2 :)
I feel your pain and have often taken "Option 2" in many projects! I have learned so many valuable lessons along the way that made frogging, just quick, easy and well worth the do over.
So fantastic! I've been waiting for this day and I'm so excited to begin. This will be my second CAL and I know it'll be just as much fun as my first with Mikey. So much work and time has been put into this! Wow! I couldn't believe it as I read through the ebook, love the charts, oh I love ALL of it! Whoopee!!
I'm making a pillow out of this pattern
I want to make a sham to match could you share your pattern please.
What an amazing stitch! I tried to gues how you did it just from the picture and I wasn’t even close. 😂
Mikey this is a beautiful booklet, and so easy to follow. Thank you so much!!!
I love this square! Just completed my first one (I was late getting started), and I think I'm going to make a whole afghan of these, as well as the 3 for the flora afghan. Thanks Mikey!
Oh so pretty! Mrembo sana! Sorry for the Swahili. Tres bien fait! Oh I love it. I must make. Mikey you are a crochet genius! Love love love!! I am going to save all the videos to make all the squares
WoooooHooooo! Oh Mikey your something else my friend! Love love love it!! :)
Great project. I love it.
What type of yarn ? Is it double knit yarn? Acrylic or cotton? Thanks wonderful work
Thank you, it's so beautiful.
Fantastic
Thankyou
This is Beautiful! I noticed in round 8 you were saying chain 2 but you'd chain 2 or 3. Otherwise flawless.
I think the hardest part of this pattern is how to spell CHRYSANTHEMUM lol
Before I stared working as a jailer, I would have never spelled "methamphetamine" correctly.... lol
@@jeanakeller450 sorry that you have to use it so often on your job. But think everytime you do your really offering them a way to improve their lives.
I know, I've spelled it 'chrystameun' and I'm usually a good speller
So the framing part could be matching color or a contrast. Thank you!
Thanks to u I like it , God bless you.
I love this pattern and was wondering if you have patterns for the other flowered patterns that appear with the one you are demonstrating?
It's a crochet along that just started on 15 April. He will put out a total of 7 different squares on the 15th of each month. This was square 1 and square 2 will be out on 15th May. I hope this helps you out. Enjoy
Once again thanks Mikey for the block looking forward to next month
Hello Mary
Such a beautiful design.. thank you for your tutorial - this is one for my to do list! x
Thank you so much. This is awesome!
Amazing work i like ur channel 😊
Mikey.... A huge thank you for all the work you have put into this fabulous pattern. May I suggest possibly adding a colouring sheet to the ebook for those who wish to change their colours?
I love it... Thank you 😘
Hi, in this video it appears there's something above your hands holding the yarn for you - can I ask what that is?
I have the yarn piled on the filming table. It’s probably at the top of a pile.
This is stunning...thanku xx
Hello sally
love it💝👍thanks!
I love this square. I saw on a FB page where someone did it as a stained glass afghan and I got so excited!. But I am having trouble with the written pattern as in row 3 it says you should have 48 stitches total..how can that be when you had 12 V's in row 2 and you are putting 2dbl's, chain1, 2 dbl's in each. Thats 5 stitches x 12 + 60 not 48..correct??
reading the pattern.
I think you are right. i don't know how I missed that.
OH MY GOSH, I totally LOVE this. Can't wait to try it :). Thank you!!!
Hello Judy
I wish it did not go so FAST,I really like your videos.
Hi, Mikey! Do you have the mini version tutorial of this pattern? The one that you used for your wall art? Thanks!
It's the same pattern with a 2.5 mm hook with Patons Grace Yarn. It's the same pattern exactly.
@@TheCrochetCrowd, oh really? Thank you very much!
Hi
When is the next pattern coming
I think the 15th of each month
When is the video tutorial for the water fountain square going to be available?
Thank you for designing this beautiful afghan! Are the colors you used in this video availible in the Caron One Pound?
Yes they are, I saw all of them at my JoAnn today.
I made this square into cushion covers
When will June flora square be available. Making this and need it. The crochet crowd
I have a question! If I already started some other squares without going in order, and I did not make the last row of the other squares the same color but I want to have them all match, can I go back to my other squares and slip stitch around them with the color I want to match for all the edges of the squares? I hope that question. Ames sense!?
I would add one more round, of the last round, on all squares with the same color you want for joining. There is no Yarn Police as Mikey would say.
@@nancylollopez4032 good idea! Thank you :)
I am sorry ! I have one more question on this if someone could help! So I’m wanting to add one more round, the same single crochet round to each square. How should I do the corner stitches where there are 5 single crochets? I’m thrown off, I know it’s not just 5 single crochets in each of the stitches, or is it? I feel like I need to add to the corner somehow. Thanks so much in advance!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
El nombre del libro cuál es? Gracias
in the ebook instructions it says at the end of row 3 there are 48 stitches. I think that i s 48 double crochets. This does not take into account for the change one space. The stitch count would be 60 stitches. This is my second one of this block. The first one I watched your video. I assume this is true of each of the following rows, not counting the crochet on stitch.
Is there 4 croc between every 2 stitches?
What’s the gauge? 14sc x 13 rows should measure how much?
Book name? Thanks.
👌👌👌🌸
😚😚😚😚❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
