NEW PATTERN – NORTHERN VIKING COMPASS –

I was always fascinated by early navigation and to honour those who can navigate by stars, wind, water, sand or trees (I even get lost with my Google maps open in front of my nose ), I designed a legendary Northern Viking Compass with Runes.

The pattern comes in two techniques:
Overlay Mosaic Crochet and
Interlocking Filet Crochet
It comes with a written pattern for right- and lefthanded crocheters and in 3 languages: English, German and Dutch.
It has links to my video tutorials, extensive abbreviations explanation, X-charts and written patterns.
