Nothing says “holiday season” like a passel of poinsettias! As such, I designed a version of this lovely flower that can be used as an applique for pillows, blankets, literally the sky’s the limit, or as a festive ornament for your tree, mantel or even hanging in your window!

This pattern creates a 7” diameter poinsettia applique or ornament when size 10 crochet thread and a 1.5 mm hook is utilized. I used Lizbeth thread from Handy Hands Tatting, but you are welcome to use your favorite thread or even a light weight yarn. As such, all of my thread based patterns can be sized up. So feel free to use your favorite yarn and a corresponding hook. Just make sure that your hook/yarn combo allows you to create a fairly tight fabric. Your Poinsettia will be rather large, but hey, I’m not going to judge you for wanting to crochet a larger than life festive flower for the season!

Directions use US crochet terminology and abbreviations and are appropriate for an experienced beginner and beyond. I will tell you that my patterns are written in a very traditional style. Meaning, if you can read a crochet pattern from the 1950’s or 1960’s, then you should have no problem reading in my patterns.

Thank you for for looking and feel free to message me should you have any questions.
