Crochet a Hanging Garden of Violets

Even if it was originally published with another purpose, I realized that this simple little design was the perfect inspiration for our August ornament. Inspired by the violets my mother-in-law grows, I adapted the original pattern to a more realistic violet design. Along with crocheting the Hanging Garden of Violets ornament, you could crochet a single flower and attach it to a pin or small clip for an easy accessory.

The pattern is easy to memorize, too! After making one or two of the flowers, you will find that they are quick to make. You can use any size of crochet thread from your stash, but I opted for size 10 crochet thread and a US size 6 (1.6 mm) steel crochet hook.
