 My inspiration for this project was the artist Frida Kahlo. I based the design on elements of her personal style rather than her artwork as I wanted to explore how I could adapt crochet to reflect traditional
Mexican textile design, whilst also getting a feel for the personality of Frida.

This remains one of my favourite designs and I am thrilled that Stylecraft Yarns agreed to collaborate with me to make this a free downloadable crochet along pattern.

You can find the patterns for this crochet along project, which was originally released in 2016, in UK & US terminology and in the Dutch and German languages by following the link to the Stylecraft website.
