This crochet pattern is actually designed for one Scheepjes Whirl. It was my personal challenge to just take 1000 meters of yarn and see what would come out of it. And it has turned out really great. New Life is inspired on the evolution of our botanics. In the centre you start off by the planted seed that sprouds into some leafs that reach fo the sunlight. In the second phase of the pattern you will see how the leafs have grown and the first blossom starts to appear. The third and final part in the pattern shows the full glory of the plant. Blossoming and showing off their beautiful flowers to the world. And all started from a small seed containing this new life. For this pattern i also created another version with a more bulky yarnchoice, it shows off how multifunctional this pattern can be. It is a pattern full of different stitch use.

The pattern hold a lot of notes to make it more easier to make. It is tested before publishing it.

11/03/19 : a small errata was detected in the pattern as the instruction photo of Round 28 was missing and the photo of Round 25 was placed double. After this date the patterns we’re updated for all languages.

25/03/19 : In the older version the Round numbers starting at Round 38 we’re not right as there is a double Round 37. The new versions has a right count of Rounds now.

In the older version Round 39 said you need to have 26DC at each side of the pattern, this must be 25DC. In the new version of the pattern this one is now Round 40. There were also some small typos in further rounds. After this date patterns were updated for all languages.
