Fig 1
Flower Fever

Hello Friends,

Once the roses are made (my previous post), I think, I have Flower fever.

Since so many days, rather 5-6 years, this frame is with me. Now I take it out to put a photo of my grandson and grand daughter in this. Broadness of the frame invites me to decorate it some how. Of course I know that once their photo is fixed, no need to decorate it 👧👦. First I think that tatting lace will be good, but it will take time (I will make it later on, I have one more frame like this). Then I remember these Puff flowers, they are so cute and they are in my wish-list. As I said about my Flower fever, it works and I decided to make them.


Bella Coco's flowers I saw again, the link is here,
I have thin yarn so I used 3mm hook, some flowers I made with 5 long and loose stitches instead of 4. First I made red flowers with corresponding changes.

But finishing was not up to the mark, first time making was easily seen. Fig 2. So I thought that they were not suitable for frame. Then I attached them with hair clip, thought that small baby might not understand my bad finishing 😅. (Fig 3)






Fig 4
Then made some more flowers carefully and they looked so cute.  I also made Puff leaves and wow! I liked this arrangement.(Fig 4)
Still my original intention of decorating that frame was not fulfilled, so I made different arrangements of these flowers on the frame. Please help me that how I should glue them? As in fig 1, 2, 5 or 6?

I will make two more white flowers for hair clips as I, myself don't like red clips. Fig 7.

One more use of these flowers, if you remember I posted about the  tradition of drawing RANGOLI around the lunch plate for special invitees, see my posts,

So how the rangoli made by these puff flowers will look? See fig 8.

Following is the video in Marathi but with English subtitles for Puff flower decoration,

Happy knitting.
