Several years ago, I bought the Crochet Flower Pattern Collection by Stitch Diva Studios. I’ve tried 2 of the patterns. This is supposed to be the Spira-Flora. I swear I followed the directions on this flower and the other one that I made, but neither came out like the picture on the pattern. Very frustrating.

I decided to get rid of the pattern sheet.

It makes me think of a dandelion.

These flowers are a joy to make. The instructions, unlike the Spira-Flora, are easy to follow. :artistic:

The pattern is from Crochet Bouquet: Easy Designs for Dozens of Flowers.
