Lovely loopy flowers

Red Loopy Flower with leaves added as a hair accessory.

Yahoo's LoomClass Group
is just finishing up a class that features my Patriot Pin from last year and I thought I would share with you a pattern that sort of evolved from that pattern called the Loopy Flower pattern. I made a couple of these for my husband's mother and aunt for Mother's Day brooches in white Homespun and lavender worsted weight.

Then I got carried away experimenting with different techniques, yarns and alternate color combinations. Originally, I called this particular style of flowers "Hawaiian Star Flowers" because of the pretty color combinations and shape.

I was going to include the instructions in this blog post, but I decided to write it up as Loopy Flower PDF. That way I can actually find it when I get ready to make more.

Now, go out and loom a yarny garden!

I love how you "got carried away" making flowers, LOL. I know the feeling.

Brenda, I almost completed my loopy flower right before we lost power for 5 days in the latest Jersey storm.
As you said, it was super easy for beginners. I tried it with some left-over Lion Homespun (sooo soft) All I have to do is find some yarn for the french knots in the middle.

Cannot wait to start trying more. Thanks yet again for a terrific pattern :)

Do you have the instructions somewhere other than.box? I can't get it to open or even download. Thank you.
