Week 4 — Spider Lily
Spider Lily is one of my favirate flower. It's a flower that's both visually stunning and emotionally evocative.
I am very pleased with the pattern. The Tunisian crochet technique allows for the creation of the six petals seamlessly, without cutting the yarn, and achieves a natural curve without the need for additional wire. Easy in crocheting, stunning in turning out.
Kit is prepared as always.

Hi there!
I was wondering if you could do a carnation flower sometime soon? It’s my favourite flower and holds a lot of meaning to me.
I love your flower patterns and am so excited for a whole year of them!!
Cheers,
Michelle
Not a problem. We have an old version of Carnation, I only need to take a video for it. So it will be a bonus flower of the 52 weeks. I think I can post it sometime next week. ( Before Friday).
You’re amazing, thank you! I see it’s been posted and I can’t wait to make it 😀
May I know what the size of the flower? Thnak you
Each flower is about 2″ diameter, the whole flower diameter is about 5.5″. Actually it’s pretty close to the real flower.
