My latest design African spirit was inspired by the African culture and animals. I really enjoyed using lots of colours and I’ve specified where I changed colours, but you can either go wild or go neutral, anything will look great. There is a detailed border that’s optional to do. You can either do a blanket, wall hanging or table runner.

The download includes the full WRITTEN PATTERN and CHARTS, in separate PDFs, please check your library.

THE GIRAFFE IS A FREE DOWNLOAD WITH THIS DESIGN, SO NO NEED TO PURCHASE SEPARATELY.
I’ve added a free Flamingo design that fits perfectly with the African Spirit to your download.

A overlay Mosaic crochet pattern and with your purchase there’s 3 PDF downloads, the written pattern, the charts, and the detailed border, and this pattern uses US Terminology. With overlay mosaic crochet you need 2 different coloured yarns and alternate the colours with each row, please join my group for more information in the files section.
The download comes with the detailed border.
Here’s the starting chains for the number of repeats you would like, BUT bear in mind that the detailed border will only fit with 3 repeats!
1 repeat, chain 60.
2 repeats, chain 116. 3 repeats, chain 172. 4 repeats, chain 228.
