Bonnie Bluebells
A beautiful bunch of dainty wee bluebells to keep in a vase to admire all year round. These are beautiful flowers to crochet. The stem is made with Florists wire and Florists tape.

Working with wire can be fiddly, the leaves are crocheted over wire, so you need to be experienced in making your basic stitches.

This technique works the crochet chain onto wire and is explained with photos in the pattern PDF.
Pattern uses US crochet terminology with UK shown in the Abbreviations section in ().
