Fancy Pansy Flowers (Crochet Pattern)

Hey everyone. Recently I attended a flower show and was introduced to a flower named Pansy (also called as Irish flower). The notable feature of this flower is that the arrangement of its petals resemble a smiley- clown kind of face. This feature made me to admire the flower. I have named this Instructable "Fancy Pansy flower" as this flower is ornamental and is used mostly for decoration . These flowers can be used as a patch, applique, etc . Want to make a plain background colourful?? Attach these colorful pansies to make the background fancy and colorful. With this Instructable, you can learn to crochet your very own pansy flowers.

Dust a wet paintbrush with soft pastels and give some color to the flower. If you are not a fan of soft pastels, use different color thread while crocheting. After painting, using a dry brush , dust the flower to remove excess amount of color.

Actually pansies are quite colorful, so don't worry about color combinations. They almost exist in all combinations of color.
