Blue Thistle flowers are one of the coolest looking flowers in the world. They’re spikey
and vibrant, and they add a wildness to otherwise dainty floral arrangements.
In this crochet blue thistle recreation, the sepal is made with a sea-foam green colour
(Sagebrush) and then transitions into the forest green (Spearmint) leaves to mimic the
natural flowers.
This Blue Thistle crochet pattern is part TWO of a 4-part (tiny) recreation of my wedding
bouquet. Here’s where you can find the rest of the components of the crochet bouquet:
Billy Balls Crochet Pattern (Part 1)
Eucalyptus Crochet Pattern (Part 3)
Baby’s Breath Crochet Pattern (Part 4)
