I created this motif to teach multiple motifs and show how they are joined together. Picture 4 shows how some of the motifs have been incorporated into a pillowcase (not included as part of the listing). The entire piece itself measures approx. 7.5”X8.5”.

This tutorial is 100% workable by someone with an intermediate level knowledge of general crochet. Unlike general crochet, however, it does have some unusual techniques and a couple more advanced stitches (listed below).

For the most part this tutorial uses common stitches but in a slightly unconventional manner. In this tutorial I talk a fair amount about why I do things the way I do.
