The dogwood flowers in my backyard prompted me to create this pretty pattern! I tested a few different versions before coming up with flowers that looked realistic and still worked up quickly.

This is one of the most relaxing/ meditative crochet patterns I’ve made. The process reminded me of drawing a still life in art class. There was something really soothing about observing these delicate flowers and creating them with yarn!
