Poinsettia (in-the-round) | Crochet Pattern | Revised

Happy December 1st!

Have you been seeing all the unusual colored poinsettias lately?

In the past, in addition to the classic red, 
I have seen blush and cream, but this year I'm seeing peach, pink,

 and even a deeper coral/orange color.  
I'm in love with this twist on the traditional colors, 

although red will always be near and dear to my heart!

 🤍🌿🤍

 

 🤍🌿🤍

In celebration of these trending colors, I have revisited

 and updated the"Poinsettia in-the-Round" crochet pattern

 and worked up these new blooms in Scheepjes Catona

 which is a 100% mercerized cotton in a fingering weight.

See below for yarn link! 

A few of them have even been sprinkled with glue and "snow." 

What do you think of these colors? 

Do you like the traditional colors or do you like these trending colors? 

🌿🤍🌿🧡🌿🤍🌿

Here are some of the Scheepjes Catona colors I used:

Colors listed in this order:

Petals, Leaves, Stamen

You can order a box of the Scheepjes Catona little cuties (109 of them!)

and you'll have every color,

 from *Amazon by clicking here.

If you are in the US, you will receive your yarn quickly.

I had enough yarn to crochet two sets of petals

 and four sets of leaves from one little cutie.
