Cosmos is native to Mexico and Spanish priests grew the flower in their mission gardens. As the petals are evenly placed they decided to name the flower “Cosmos” which is the Greek word for harmony or ordered universe.

The Cosmos atrosanguinea gives off a sweet aroma of vanilla tinged chocolate!

This pattern is worked in the round and I use abbreviations according to US crochet language. I can provide the pattern in UK crochet language if preferred, please just contact me.

The finished cosmos flower is approximately 2.75” (7cm) in diameter. This flower would be beautiful as a floral display.

Tools Needed:
US size E (3.5mm) crochet hook
scissors
yarn needle
PVA glue

Yarn Needed:
DK acrylic yarn in candy pink, golden yellow and lime green.

Other Materials Needed:
3 x 12” (30cm) lengths of strong garden wire (preferably covered in green plastic).

If you need any help or advice please feel free to contact me.
