Happy Crocheting!
Your Irish crochet flower pattern is superb! It looks really intricate and elegant. Can’t wait to try it out — it’ll be the perfect motif for a hat I crocheted months ago and couldn’t figure out what to embellish it with. Thanks so much! 🙂
P.S. Love your heart shaped appliques!
I have been trying to do this pattern and seem to be stuck on Row 2. I don’t understand why row 2 starts with ch 1, [ch 19, etc……. It seems to me that ch 1 and ch 19 should be ch 20 or has there been a step left out.
Hi Elizabeth,
Ch 1 is a Chain at the beginning of the Round. This Chain is not a part of the steps to be repeated. After Ch 1 there is a bracket [. The steps following the bracket are to be repeated, in order, until you reach the end of the Round. So, at the beginning of the Rnd 2 you need to Chain 20 (1+19), but each of the next repeats you will have to Chain 19. Hope this will help. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thank you, I will try this.
I just happen to see this Irish Crochet Flower and would love to be able to print the pattern. I tried and got just the first page of it. I have a daughter in law who is Irish and a beautiful red head like you. I have her for a Christmas ornament, this would be something unusual but something that I made for her. PLEASE let me know how to print this pattern. Thanks in advance…

I was wondering if youve got individual pics of each step as its not adding up
I’ve sent you an email with pics. Hope this will help.
I LOVE this Jeans Embellishments pattern but I’m confused about something on round 2. I thought you might have a PDF of it on your pattern site but I didn’t see it. Do you still have individual pics of each step that you can send like you did for Carrieann above? I’ve already finished all the other pieces. I’m just stuck on this one. Would really appreciate it. Thanks! 🙂
I’ve sent you an email with pics of each round. Hope this will help!
