French Beaded Crocus – PDF Pattern

$8.00

I originally published this design in 2017. In March 2024, I taught the design for a class. I have taken new photos and re-written the entire pattern, plus added some new shading patterns for a Striped Crocus, Blue Pearl Crocus, and Advance Snow Crocus (see last photo). The videos from the class are on my YouTube channel. However, those videos only demonstrate the basic model. The new shading patterns do not have videos and are only included in the purchased version of the PDF.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Techniques Used:

  • Looped Fringes
  • Wire-Back Fringe
  • Basic Frame
  • Lacing / Lace-as-you-go
  • Bottom Wire Extensions

The PDF is 16 pages long and contains 67 images along with detailed written instructions to guide you in making the crocus flowers.

The PDF is written in English using imperial and metric terms for measurements.
