Flower Motif/Doily Pattern

This is a pattern to create my little flower motif/doily things... I made it up using stitches I learned while doing a blanket pattern. These make very fast and easy presents (esp. during the holidays) and make wonderful coasters. ^_^ Hope you all enjoy.

Thank you for this beautiful pattern. I'm making a table cloth that has filet crochet as the border and the middle is a variety of motifs. I will share a photo when I am finished....it's turning out beautifully. Grateful for being able to blend your art into mine!

This pattern looks wonderful, I noticed that if we use your pattern we should credit you as the original creator. Are we allowed to sell the finished product as long as we credit you with a name and link to your blog?

-Best wishes,

Chad
