It has been a long while since I did a blog post, but Corona Virus Isolation = more play time.
I have been encouraging everyone to practice the Crochet Bullion Stitch, so this afternoon I experimented with a new Bullion Flower, instructions below. If you scroll down a post or two, I have a pattern for a cute chemo cap with a flower, you can substitute the flower with the Bullion flower and make a few of the caps for your local hospital. Have Fun!
