Crocheted Flowers

These are the flowers that I mentioned earlier. One for each day of January. The bunch at the bottom have pin backs attached and are ready for what ever comes next. They were made using this pattern from crochetroo.
The lone pansy on the right (it looks kind of like a bunny is from Mamachee's pattern.
The large multicolored rose on the right is from Patons. The pattern I have is from a magazine a few years back and I can't find the same one on their site, but they do have a similar one in various sizes. You have to sign in to get to the actual patterns.
In the upper left are some three different flowers from this pattern from Bernat yarns.
This is another site you have to log into to see the pattern.

After making all of those flowers I came up with this pattern. My favorite is the orange one at the top. In case you like them, here is the pattern. Please use this as you want, but do not represent it as your own pattern. If you want to share it, please link to this posting.
