Crochet with Embroidery Hoops - 3 New Designs

My photo frames made with Linen Soft yarn are finished!! I say “photo frames” because it was an idea from the very beginning. But when I was done with the last embroidery hoop I suddenly decided to use them as just hanging decorations. Mostly because I am not sure at the moment how pictures can be attached to them. But maybe I will come up with something and share with you next week, together with a free pattern!

Update: Free pattern can be found HERE!

Lasted Tuesday I published a short tutorial HERE on how to crochet a base around the embroidery hoop. And during last week I was continuing to work with my new design truly enjoying Linen Soft yarn by Scheepjes. This doesn’t happen very often as I am quite conservative in choosing yarns but I like everything about it. If you missed my review, please read it HERE. And you can have a look at color chart and purchase this yarn via Scheepjes.com (NL), Deramores* or Wool Warehouse* (international shipping) and Paradise Fibers* (US).

I really like natural look and touch of this yarn, and I am quite happy with chosen colors, too. In my dream I was imagining these frames with an ombre effect. But as I am totally addicted to overlay crochet, I decided to place contrasting colors together. And as a result an ombre effect if somewhere far away from here, but I am still very satisfied with my new design.

I picked wooden embroidery hoops in three sizes and created three different patterns which I will share with you next week. They are very easy but at the same time they give an opportunity to practice overlay crochet once again.
