Spring is in full swing, and flowers are blooming across West Michigan. Celebrate by crocheting this cute flower brooch! You can pin it to your lapel, wear it on a hat, use it to embellish the purse, or put it anywhere else your imagination can cook up. It is assembled from five separate elements: a small flower, a larger flower, a set of leaves, a button and a pin back.
