Crochet Collage Garden

This book offers 100 crochet patterns inspired by nature, arranged in 10 beautiful collages reflecting the seasons, perfect for all crafters.

In Crochet Collage Garden, author and crochet designer Chris Norrington invites readers into her stunning cottage garden, where the beauty of nature inspires a collection of 100 crochet motifs. This book features 10 unique collages that capture the essence of the flowers and plants found in her garden, nestled on the edge of the picturesque North York Moors National Park. Each collage reflects the changing seasons, showcasing the vibrant colors and diverse shapes of flora, from the first blooms of spring to the frosty leaves of winter.

The motifs, while inspired by specific plants, are not intended to be botanically accurate. Instead, they celebrate the creativity of crochet through various perspectives, including front views of flowers, side profiles, half-opened blooms, and even seedheads and fungi. The collages encompass a wide range of foliage types, allowing crocheters to explore individual leaves, leafy stems, ferns, and grasses, making each piece a unique representation of nature's beauty.

Crochet Collage Garden offers not only the joy of recreating the beautiful designs but also encourages readers to mix and match motifs to create their own personal creations. With guidance on yarn selection and numerous ideas for using the crocheted pieces—such as embellishing clothing, crafting bookmarks, or creating keyring charms—this book is a delightful resource for both novice and experienced crocheters looking to bring a touch of the garden into their crafting projects.
