Foxgloves are beautiful, colourful flowers made up of lots of little ‘bell-shaped’ flowers of various sizes. This pattern contains instructions for 3 sizes of flower: large, medium, and small. The large ones are positioned at the bottom of the stem, then the middle ones above, and finally the small ones at the top. The large and medium flowers in this pattern are finished with 3 little green leaves at their base. They are interspersed with long, thin green leaves, too.

Includes detailed instructions and demonstration photos.

Difficulty level - beginner to intermediate.
