Crochet flower bouquets for Valentines Day
Crochet flower bouquets for Valentine’s Day are trending for many reasons but here’s why us gals appreciate them more than real flowers.
I can’t believe crocheting is becoming so popular again as a hobby. I have made many crochet flower bouquets but recently crochet flower bouquets are trending for Valentines Day gifts. I have progressed from simple patterns like place mats, hearts, and shawls to more complex pieces like fine doilies, stuffed toys, clothes and even cacti! But flowers continue to get the best response from my followers and men have started buying them for their loved ones.
Women love them but men are seeing the benefits too. Athough individually, they may seem simple in pattern but a crochet flower bouquet can become a stunning heartfelt gift!
Crochet flower bouquets are easier to maintain!
Unlike real cut flowers where the recipient has to mess about with scissors, water, vases and plastic waste – crochet flower bouquets just need to be displayed. They are even washable! With a little TLC, the bouquets can stay vivid and beautiful for a very long time. Their colours can also be restored to their former glory to constantly remind us of the giver’s love.
They’re more heartfelt as a gift.
Crochet flower bouquets can not be bought at the local garage. They can usually not even be bought in specialist florist shops. They take time to make and even exotic blooms can be made at any point in the year! A lot of flower businesses have pre-set arrangements, however crocheting a set of favourite blooms as a gift comes across as more sincere and considerate. These bouquets can symbolise many things from friendship and romantic love to mementos or even sympathy flowers. This is why crochet flower bouquets for Valentines Day are becoming popular.
They can decorate almost any room in the house.
Fresh flowers may have bright colours but they don’t look that way for very long. Dried flowers can look a bit old-fashioned or even untidy. When I crochet these bouquets, I have control over the texture, the colour and the size to fit that perfect table as a centrepiece or a fireplace surround as a gorgeous ornament.
Can I inspire you to take up the hobby too?
After looking at all these vibrant and joyous creations perhaps you could be inspired to take up crocheting on as a hobby. It is inexpensive to start. Most crochet artists agree that the biggest expense in crochet is the yarn but there are ways to save on that too, especially if you are a lover of visiting second hand shops.
I have made my crocheting hobby into something akin to an obsession and the items I makes are an expression of me wanting to manifest chic, adoration, glamor, cuteness, beauty or whatever!
There are a lot of resources to teach how to crochet flower bouquets.
Patterns and instructional videos on how to crochet are easy to find on Youtube. Some cafés or shared spaces even host artist’s workshops for some face-to-face instruction. If you would like to join me in a coffee and some 1-2-1 crochet instruction than please get in touch. Although it might feel a little awkward at first, remember we are doing this for the love of crochet and no matter what age we are we can have a bit of fun in creating something timeless.
