I working on some more crochet jewelry now, so I’m back on the thread. I was looking for a way to corral the open hanks & found Lazy May’s adorable printable floss bobbins.
Why didn’t I see the typo before I finished the photo?
I printed mine on card stock & colored them before cutting them out. I love them! I would prefer if the paper was a bit heavier, but this works.

Since it’s Mother’s Day (happy day to all the mothers), I thought I would share my carnation pattern. I made pins out of these, but they could be used for all sorts of things; barrettes, headbands, bracelets, & bouquets, just for starters.
Caron’s Simply Soft (Harvest Red shown) & an F hook
gave me about a 2in flower. For a 3in flower, I used Red Heart Super Saver
& an H hook
.
Crochet Carnation
I appreciate any feedback on my patterns, so please leave any comments or questions below. This was my initial version, but I did make some changes as I went along. I didn’t get all of those changes on paper so some of this is taken from memory & looking over the last flowers I made. Hopefully I got everything straight & it makes sense!
The links above are Amazon Associate links, so if you purchase anything after clicking through one of them I get a few pennies. ka-ching!

I’m making crochet carnation pins for Mother’s Day. The traditional options are red, pink, & white. Red & pink if your mother is still living, & white if she is deceased. They are approx 2.5″ wide with pin backs, & each one has a heart in the center.
They are $9, plus $3 to ship in the US. I can also ship internationally.
Email my gmail.com address – OneofaKindness – to order. It would be super if you used the subject “carnation pins” so it’s easier to keep track of the orders. Thanks!

make a flower corsage – a free pattern | Made with Loops
I’m not much of a brooch wearer, but I could see making an exception for this. Better yet, I could see it as a hair comb, something I would get a lot more use out of.
