FLOWER OCTAGON

I wanted to do something different and I have a big outdoor table which is screaming for a nice tablecloth. So with pride I present to you my latest design FLOWER OCTAGON.

Because this was my first time designing and crocheting an octagon, it comes with photo tutorial and video tutorial for overlay mosaic and interlocking filet crochet. The photo tutorial is for left and right handed crocheters.

Surprisingly, as soon you know the corners, this pattern is not so advanced as it looks, it repeats the written pattern 8 times and the corners are written out and explained in detail in the abbreviations list. All tutorial links are included in the pattern.

The pattern comes in 3 languages, English, German and Dutch and is for left and right handed crocheters and in two techniques.
