Spirit of Flora

Today sees the release of the final set of four patterns that make up the Spirit of Flora collection. You can find the patterns as paper brochures in both UK and US terms over on the Janie Crow website and the download patterns can be accessed via Ravelry or Etsy.

These last four patterns are the most complicated of the twelve patterns that make up the collection and so we have spent a lot of time creating lots of step-by-step images, charts and detailed instructions. You can also find videos that Emma has taken a lot of time to make over on our YouTube channel here. Please note that the videos have been created to accompany the patterns and are provided as a free resource to help with the trickier parts of the patterns. The videos therefore do not show every single row or round of the design.

Three of the patterns are twelve pages long and the remaining one is eight pages. The patterns are priced at £3.95 each which is a saving of £3 a pattern based on our usual pattern price range. And, If you purchase all four patterns at £10.95 you can receive a further saving of almost £5. These prices will stay in pace for the foreseeable future, but as we have already discounted the price of the patterns by quite a bit we cannot guarantee there will not be a price rise in the future. 

The patterns within this final set are as follows:

Sunflower

​Pair of Roses - This pattern also includes the instructions for the Half Rose motif, which you can use to create a triangular shaped project or unusual edging.

Double Carnations

Bedford Park Daisy

If you are new to the Spirit of Flora project and fancy getting started you can find lots of free information on the Janie Crow web site here including the Getting Ready document, notes on blocking and pressing, patterns for the plainer motifs and the patterns for the three edgings.

It has been fabulous seeing all your Spirit of Flora projects out in the wild and I am so proud of you all for building your tool box of skills and taking on the challenge. Don't forget that your project doesn't have to be a blanket - you could make a bag or some cushions, or just enjoy making the square pieces. I think they would look great mounted in clip frames and would make great gifts too!
