Hi there,

Sewing crochet onto fabric is not a technique we teach.

Personally the only tips I have are to use an all cotton thread instead of all purpose, and to make sure you are pinning the items together when they are on a flat surface not “in the air” or being held. The elasticity of the crochet and the linen are very different and you want to make sure you are not pulling the crochet piece out of shape.

Have I merely missed it? If not, are there any plans to introduce one?

Hello Lennie,

Yes, you are correct- the repeat should be Row 2. Thank you for catching this!

Thanks!

Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to do this? I know increase and decrease but not how to handle a blank. Thanks!

Depending on the size of the pattern, and the size you want to have. I would go with a size 30, for a smaller size, but 20 is a good size. Work with a tight stitch, blocked, it will give you a nice look when framed.
