With pride I present my Fading Hearts

My mother died of Alzheimer’s and I was so sad to see my mother fading away due to this disease. It is a mean disease; it steals your loved one slowly. I want to help Alzheimer’s research and via this way I will support research. All proceeds of the sale of this pattern (after fees, Ravelry and PayPall) will be donated to Alzheimer research UK

My thanks goes to my testers Caroline Tigchelaar (overlay mosaic crochet) and Annuska Kauffmann (interlocking filet crochet)
Both techniques come with small charts, written pattern abbreviated and non abbreviated, tutorials and links to examples and video’s. There is also a printable large X chart for overlay mosaic and the border.
