What Is Being Made
The May Flowers Booster Pack is a supplementary crochet pattern collection containing 4 hexagon motifs designed to coordinate with the April Showers Bring May Flowers pattern pack. This booster pack allows crocheters to expand their projects with additional hexagonal components in a coordinated color palette, making it ideal for creating larger blankets, afghans, or other assembled projects.
Craft and Technique Overview
This is an intermediate-level crochet project that focuses on hexagon construction using fundamental and decorative crochet techniques. The pattern employs textured stitches including bobble stitches, which add dimensional interest to the finished hexagons. Crocheters will work with a standard size 5mm crochet hook and use removable stitch markers to track progress throughout the construction of each motif.
Stitches Used
The May Flowers Booster Pack incorporates the following crochet stitches:
- Slip stitch (sl st) – used for joining rounds and connecting stitches
- Chain (ch) – foundational stitch for starting the pattern
- Single crochet (sc) – basic short stitch for structure
- Half double crochet (hdc) – medium-height stitch for fabric building
- Double crochet (dc) – taller stitch used throughout the hexagon
- Triple crochet (tr) – extended stitch for height variation
- Double triple crochet (dtr) – extra-tall stitch for dramatic height
- Triple crochet bobble (tr bobble) – decorative textured stitch that creates dimensional puffs on the hexagon surface
Materials Required
To complete the May Flowers Booster Pack, crocheters will need:
- Worsted weight yarn in 4 coordinating colors: white (CA), yellow (CB), gold (CC), and purple (CD) – approximately 2 ounces of each color
- Size 5mm crochet hook for working the stitches
- At least 6 removable stitch markers to track stitch placement and round progression
- Tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends and assembling hexagons if needed
Finished Dimensions and Gauge
Each hexagon motif in this booster pack is designed to specific measurements. When measured straight across from one flat side to the opposite flat side, each hexagon should measure 7 inches wide. When measured from point to point across the hexagon, the dimension should be 8 inches wide. Achieving proper gauge is essential for ensuring the hexagons coordinate correctly with the April Showers Bring May Flowers main pattern pack.
Pattern Context
The May Flowers Booster Pack is part of the #mayflowerscal2019 crochet-along community project designed by Jessica Phillips. This booster pack extends the original April Showers Bring May Flowers pattern collection, allowing participants to customize their projects with additional coordinating hexagon motifs. The pattern uses US crochet terminology and is suitable for intermediate-level crocheters who are comfortable with multi-stitch patterns and bobble stitch construction.
