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 & US terminology and in the Dutch and German languages
by following the link to the Stylecraft web site.
