Pattern Description:

All patterns are available in both UK terminology or US terminology. Please make sure you choose the correct version.

These wall hangings are created using Tapestry Crochet for the background. Tapestry Crochet is similar to regular crochet, except that two or more strands are worked at the same time to create a colourful fabric. The colours not being used are carried along the top of the previous row. Double (US-single) crochet stitches are worked as you would normally, through both loops of the previous row and over the top of the carried colours.

The flowers use florists wire and wadding to create a 3-D effect and are appliqud to the background.

Florists wire is used on the petals and leaves to keep their shape and stop them drooping when hung.
