frida's flowers crochet along 2016

MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT WAS THE ARTIST FRIDA KAHLO. I BASED THE DESIGN ON ELEMENTS OF HER PERSONAL STYLE RATHER THAN HER ART WORK 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 IN UK AND US TERMINOLOGY AND IN THE DUTCH AND GERMAN
