Tips For Attaching Posies:
- Leaving a long tail at the end of the second round enables you to use that tail to attach posy to intended project.
- For a puffier posy, sew only the bottom loop of the flower into the intended project.
- Pin posies to surface of project before sewing to have a set layout.
- Mix colors and textures for interesting contrast!
- Sew a button into the center of each posy to add extra pop to the project.

I do a similar pattern and I use it all the time to pretty up plain patterns. Some other great tips are:
Increase the size of the flower by increasing your hook size or vice versa
Instead of attaching posies, put them on a small brass safety pin and then they can easily be removed for sharing between garments or easy laundering.
Great pattern!
these posies are so cute……i so ♥♥♥ these…i just finished a small lap-ghan and i might have to add some to a corner…thanks for the great guest post!!!
I just did a few of these and added them to a crocheted hat that I rescued from our local thrift store. The hat was great but the flowers made it fabulous!! Thanks for sharing this pattern.
[…] an open at the side case, for phones with jacks on the side. Embellish your case with a bunch of darling poseys as a perfect girly gift for a teenager’s first cell phone or make a black and orange case […]
[…] flower is much like the darling posy applique but is larger and can also be used as a motif for afghans, scarfs, table runners, jewelry and more. […]
I just crocheted a basic earwarmer and used this pattern for a flower applique. I made two – one of the 6-petal posies and one of the 5-petal posies and put one on top of the other to make a bulkier applique. I just posted a blog with photos – click on my name if you would like to see!
These are adorable!! They are the perfect piece I’ve been needing to jazz up the baby blanket I’m working on for a friend. Thanks!
