Today we have very pretty edging made of flowers to show you. The flowers look like fuchsia or other exotic flowers. In the video, we are making them pink but you can use any other colour. You can use it for any crochet that you are making to complete it with a nice edging. It will give every work a touch of spring and it’s very easy to do. Enjoy!
