A Bit Of Sewing
Layout the pieces as shown in the photos above and sew or
crochet the pieces together. I used the Whipstitch method to
attach my pieces together.
You will have this large piece plus the two small
rectangle left for Part Four!
I have been a crochet designer for more than 10 years. I love to think outside the box and to try and do things a bit differently. I love to learn new techniques and to challenge myself. I firmly believe that crochet should fun and evoke joy and pleasure. Creating and designing is one of my life's passions.
