Blooming Flowers Crochet Throw
Welcome spring in style with this Blooming Flowers Crochet Throw. The soft gray background makes the hexagon flowers stand out even more in this crochet afghan pattern. Also, because the floral hexagons are made separately and joined in, it's a fun project that is great for when you are traveling but still wish to crochet.
This intermediate pattern uses half double crochet as well as the cluster and shell stitch. Motif patterns like this are one of the best aspects of crochet, so work this beautiful flower blanket up today to get blooming!

I love throws of this type of design even if I know it's very tedious to do. I love the colors used in this Blooming Flowers Crochet Throw. The green/purple/light yellow contrast is just fantastic. I can't wait to start this project. Gorgeous!

My son and daughter-in-law just bought a house and I would love to make this for them as a house warming gift. These colors are great and they would actually go with their chosen color scheme for their family room. I hope it doesnt take too long to make. Instructions look fairly easy.
