The other day (after I had finished my latest pattern), I took my ever growing stash of yarn, and one of my Japanese craft book which I had treated myself for Christmas and make this pillow cover. I didn’t finished it yet, I just made the crochet side of the cover, but hope I will put it together soon.
The pattern for the flowery granny square I found in this Japanese crochet book (which I bought in this fabulous shop).
This is actually the pattern for the blanket from the cover. I just omitted the last two rows from the pattern, and joined them together with single crochet. I absolutely adore Japanese crochet books. They are packed with so much beauty!
I really like how it turned out, can’t wait to finish the pillow!
I must admit that I fell in love with these flowers, I’m already working on the second pillow with the same pattern, and I seriously thinking about making a blanket with some rich, lacy edge… I can imagine myself wrapped in that beauty (in a few months) with a cup of coffee and some exciting new project on the hook…
In my next post I will show you what else I have been making these days…
Gorgeous ……I adore Japanese crochet books too!
Lovely. Nice colors! 🙂
O kako sam se obradovala kad sam videla novi post. Prelepo kao i uvek. Ne znam da l' je lepša izrada koja je tako kristalno jasna, da l' motivi koje biraš i kreiraš, da l' izbor i sklapanje boja. Ma sve zajedno čini te jedinstvenom na crochet nebu!
Beautiful japanese flowers. Yout cushion will be looking gorgeous.
Have a nice day, Margaret
Oh, how pretty!
Very nice work!
Vesna, hvala puno na ovim divnim rečima! 🙂 Uvek se obradujem kada vidim da neko sa ovih prostora prati moj blog!
I ja sam kao i Vesna jedva dočekala vaš novi post, Pratim vas već neko vrijeme i divim se vašem izboru boja i savršenom radu, kao i prelijepim crtežima. Uživam gledajući sve to i hvala vam na svoj toj ljepoti.

Absolutely gorgeous beautiful colours thank you for sharing xxx
I just ordered this and would love to make a baby blanket in your colors. Can you please tell me what yarn you used?
Beautiful work. Lovely photos. I'd love to know the yarn used in the top photos. 🙂
Love the Japanese flowers, you did a wonderful job. So beautiful. I tried going on line to get the flower pattern, but it's in Japanese. Would you be making a pattern for it later? Would love to be able to make this. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great day.

I would love to make the Japanese flower cushion, but I don't read Japanese. How can I get the instructions in English? Or can I?
This Japanese flowers pattern is not on your shop. Is it not available anymore? Because,I would love to get it.
If you have not been answered since January, I'm sure, I certainly will not get answered as well …
Absolutely gorgeous! Can you please please post the pattern description! Can't wait to try these!

Hi
Could you please email me the name of the Japanese Book, I have had a look for it on Etsy but could not find it, if I can type the name in the search box it will be easier to find! Thank you!!!

I found the pattern in this book: https://www.etsy.com/listing/81760752/lets-play-with-color-cute-crochet-and?show_sold_out_detail=1
but as I can see it isn’t available anymore. Maybe you can find it in some other Etsy shop.
Oh my, I know you mentioned you had this pattern in a book, but do you know if I am able to purchase the pattern online anywhere, this is a must have, it’s absolutely beautiful. Such a magnificent handmade piece you have created, it really is pretty <3
Hi Donna,
Thank you for your kind comment! I really don’t know if the pattern is available online, I found it in a Japanese crochet/knitting book.

Hi, can you tell me what yarn you used for the lovely pillow please. Many thanks x
Hi Shirley,
I used several different cotton yarns from St. George (manufacturer from Serbia). Cotton Cable, Cotton Classic and Tango color. Unfortunately, you can’t find this yarn online.
How did you do the edging?
I used Pom Pom edge pattern.
I love the colors you chose for this project! Beautiful! I have the pattern, but can you tell me what the symbol with the circles with X’s in them mean?
Thank you Sandy, glad you like them! Look at the step-by-step picture tutorial on pages 42 and 43 in the book, it’s the best way to see how to make the square.
I have been looking for this particular flower pattern on Etsy for days. Does this flower have a name? It’s exquisite and nothing else will do. Thank you.
I found the pattern in a Japanese craft book. The link is in the post.
Beautiful, but frustrating not to be able to find the pattern anywhere in English. It would be nice if you were to share. Thanks.
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! I’m sorry, but I can’t share it because it is not my pattern.
