CHAMOMILE & SAGE
This design is part of a series of botanical crochet patterns inspired by Japanese crochet fibre art. I’ve written about this in my blog. This Chamomile and Sage pattern was made so you can create your own wooly garden. Enjoy the playful variety of flowers in the pattern to create a brooch and decorate your shawls, sweaters, bag and gift wraps. Or as shown in the front picture, create a unique Chamomile & Sage Wreath of your own.
