I really like it when I don't have to go searching for the pattern.mits right there along with a picture. The directions are very easy and it won't take long to make up a bunch of these. And I will make them in colors to match the wedding theme colors. Thank you!

Ohhh....This gives me an idea. We can actually enhance the look of the bouquet by covering the stem with crochet cover. Lovely! Thanks for the free pattern which is just right on the same page.
