Magical Flower Chain

Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
Let’s take a Magical Mystery Tour back to the 60’s.
Remember Woodstock?
We’ve got to get ourselves back to the Garden.
Flowers in your hair…. Flowers everywhere….
I love the flower girl.
So don’t be counting Flowers on the Wall.
Let’s go to a Garden Party.

There is always something magical about linking flowers together.
Clover, Dandelions, Daisies, whatever…..
I love the colors and the simple beauty of it.
Well, these flowers can be linked over and over again, anytime.
It won’t matter if it is winter, spring, summer or fall.
Kai, my youngest grandchild (4 yrs. old), told me,
“We need lots of colors for the flowers.”
So that is exactly what we did.

Grab your hooks and find some scrap yarn.
They can be linked into Crowns, Bracelets, Necklaces,
Belts, Garland, and Skinny-Scarf-Lariats.
They are relatively quick to make
(about 10-15 minutes for one complete Flower Link).
I did not use numbered Rows/Rnds in the instructions
because there is really only one row for each segment.
Also, there is only one final weave in,
even though there are 3 colors.
Make as many Flower Links, in as many colors as you want.
A bracelet that fits my hand only takes 4 Flower Links.
For the simplicity purpose of these instructions,
I just made one type of flower.
But you could add more single crochets to the beginning base
to have more petals, or different kinds of petals.
If you do change the flower petals,
you may need to adjust the size of the connecting-stem-hole.
And you might want to experiment with other types of yarns and hooks.
It looks beautiful with crochet thread and a smaller hook,
but is more time consuming.

As always, I hope you enjoy it.

And if you are going to San Francisco…..
Be sure to wear some Flowers in your Hair!
