I too would love to know how to make these flowers (and more), however no clear, detailed instructions seem to exist! I am very frustrated right now! Though the magazine states you can see more at this or the Escama.com site, there is no additional help available. I know how to crochet and have been doing so for years, but never have I heard of "low-style" or "high-style" stitches, and apparently no one else on the internet has either.

I found better instructions on the Escama Studio website under inspiration/diy.

They use terms we understand; such as single or double crochet.

If anyone has a purse pattern using the tabs, I would love to have it.

Happy crafting,

Low style stitches I believe mean regular single crochet. High style is when you only single crochet into one side of the stitch...leaving a ridge. Its all single crochet...and the terms are used frequently in other countries.
