To get started, you will be guided in the Tools and Materials section on what supplies you will need to create your own floral designs. Here they share information on different yarn fibers, yarn quantities, hooks, and a note on size and scale. Then you can dive right into each collage and crochet the flowers that trigger a memory or emotion, or simply appeal to your senses. You can have fun recreating the collages that Chris has designed, or you can mix and match the motifs of your favourite plants and flowers to make your own creations. There are instructions for which yarn to use to create the motifs, but you can experiment with different types of yarn to create your own versions. As well as creating the beautiful crochet collages which could be mounted and framed, there are ideas for what to make from the crocheted motifs including decorative applique embellishments on clothes and homewares, as well as bookmarks and keyring charms. Crochet designer and gardener, Chris Norrington, has created 100 crochet motifs arranged in 10 collages based on the beautiful flowers and plants found in her wonderful cottage garden on the edge of the beautiful North York Moors National Park.All the patterns include the yarn and hook used. Most seem to be shown with DK weight yarn, and made with a 3mm crochet hook - but certainly not all! And of course, these pieces are perfect for any odd balls or leftover bits of yarn you have - just match the hook to the yarn! The possibilities are just about endless - every creation will be your own! Create stunning crochet collages with this collection of 100 patterns for crochet flowers, plants and petals. The motif designs are inspired by the colours and shapes found in nature and, while some are recognisable as specific plant species, they are not intended to be botanically accurate representations of particular plants. This collage is inspired by a sun dappled and shady corner of Chris’ garden. There are 10 different motifs included in this collage and include greenery like ivy and ferns, primroses, hellebores, lichen and toadstools. Spring Awakening

Having always had an interest in crafting, Chris started her own business called ‘Chris made this’ selling handmade gifts online and at craft fairs once her two children were grown up. She now focuses on creating her own crochet designs and sharing colourful crochet inspiration through her social media. As well as crochet and gardening, Chris enjoys walking, reading, knitting and yoga, and lives in North Yorkshire with her husband. All of the motifs are inspired in some way by Chris' garden and the collages roughly follow the pattern of the seasons from the first flowers in spring, through to the frosty leaves of winter. The motif designs are inspired by the colours and shapes found in nature and, while some are recognisable as specific plant species, they are not intended to be botanically accurate representations of particular plants.

This collage is inspired by a sun-dappled, shady corner in my garden. In late winter, the dark green shoots and graceful white bells of the first snowdrops start to emerge, followed shortly after by the pale yellow petals of the primroses. Ferns grow very happily in the damp shade, and it’s always a joy to see their fronds slowly unfurling as the days grow gradually longer and warmer. Shy little violets peep out from underneath piles of logs, and clumps of tiny pale toadstools pop up here and there. Pretty pale green and dusky pink hellebores also make a welcome appearance. Twisting stems of ivy wind their way up the tree trunks and patches of mottled green lichen grow slowly amongst mossy tree roots. When the sun shines through the new leaves in the spring, it is a magical little corner of the garden.
