Synopsis

A collection of 30 beautiful designs for flower motifs inspired by decorative tiles from around the world. All of the patterns are written in US crochet terms with a handy table for the equivalent UK terms. These patterns have been previously published in 100 Crochet Tiles.

Most of the motifs are square and crocheted from the centre out – like a granny square - but there are also round, octagon and hexagon-shaped motifs, as well as an ogee-shaped motif, so plenty to choose from. Readers can try them all or choose their favourites and make multiple tiles to form a blanket or throw.

The flower tile designs include textured flowers, modern abstract designs and highly textured motifs with popcorn and puff stitches. A combination of different techniques are used including granny square crochet and tapestry crochet.

Each pattern features full written instructions as well as large crochet charts for easy stitching. There is also full guidance on all the necessary crochet techniques needed at the back of the book. These crochet tile patterns are the perfect stash buster and a great way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn.

The designers include some of the biggest names in crochet including Rachele Carmona (@cypresstextiles 117k on IG), Catherine Noronha (@catherinecrochets 32k on IG), and Hattie Risdale (@petalshed 79k on IG).

How to use this book

This collection of flower designs features patterns inspired by decorative ceramic tiles from around the world. Each pattern has a chart, either a stitch chart – which also shows the colour of each stitch – or a colour chart showing colour changes for tiles made using the tapestry technique.

You can work from the stitch charts instead of the written pattern, but since the colour charts do not show which stitch is being worked you will also need to follow the pattern. Some of the colour charts only show one segment of the design, so will need to be repeated several times around to make the complete design.
