These flowers must be blocked to achieve the desired shape.

Crocheted pieces made from natural fibers like cotton look their best after they have been blocked to the proper shape. It also helps make stitches look uniform and even.

To do that, gently submerge your crocheted items in cold water, allow them to soak thoroughly. Roll them in a towel to remove water, shape them and lay them on a flat surface. Also, you can use rustproof pins to pin your motifs to shape. Allow to dry completely.

If you were using crochet cotton threads, you can iron your motifs. To do that, set the iron on the lowest heat setting suggested for the yarn. Place a slightly damp cloth on top of your crocheted piece before ironing. Never allow the iron to come into direct contact with crocheted motifs. Lightly touch up the cloth with iron, do not press hard or iron sideways.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this beautiful crochet Flower motif!

 

With Love,
