Crochet: Flower Corsage Cardi


I have wanted to make this sweater since I learned I was lucky enough to be the mother of two girls. I wanted it to go with the little brown dress I crocheted for Audrey. I love these felted crochet flowers.


The brown yarn is TLC Amore, which I bought a few years ago to be sure I had the match. The felted flower corsages are made with Moda Dea Cartwheel, which isn't available anymore so I am so happy I stashed some.



So here they are, my two girls wearing bouquets on brown.



I developed the pattern for Audrey's cardigan. Not too difficult to do with crochet. I don't know when I'll be confident enough to attempt it with knitting. Here it is: Flower Corsage Cardi Pattern

My pattern for the felted flowers is here.

  1. Your girls are so adorable! I love the shirts that you made for them though they are way cute and I want some for my kids. My wife and I are getting addicted to machine embroidery projects and this site has given us a few ideas of what we could do and make. Thank you for posting those adorable photos of your children! Wish you the best of luck!
