Crochet Collage Garden - Chris Norrington

Inspired by the changing seasons of a cottage garden on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, this paperback by Chris Norrington brings together 100 crochet patterns for flowers, plants and petals. The collection features 100 crochet motifs arranged across 10 collages, with designs drawn from the colours and shapes found in nature.

Alongside front-on flowers in full bloom, the book includes patterns for side views, half-opened flowers, buds, seedheads, berries, fungi, and a wide range of foliage from individual leaves to leafy stems, ferns and grasses. The collages follow seasonal themes including Woodland Glade, Vintage Blue Bouquet and Flower Meadow, with compositions ranging from wreaths and bouquets to arrangements in a jug or vase, as well as designs that grow straight from the ground. Ideas are also included for using the crocheted motifs as decorative appliqué embellishments on clothes and homewares, bookmarks and keyring charms.
