Botanica

Botanica is another nature-inspired pattern, and in fact, it was my original design from which The Enchanted Garden design came. I’m always conscious of crocheters' needs, and I know that crocheters always prefer patterns that can be placed in different orders or even used within other patterns.

​

However, I kept coming back to this pattern, which, as you can see, is more intertwined and fully symmetrical. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I decided to go for it. There were a few tweaks along the way, but I do love my final design, and it’s a real joy to make.

​

This pattern is beginner-friendly as usual – simple repeats and no special stitches.

​

Within the Mosaic Tapestry Crochet pattern, you will see that I have designed my charts and written instructions for this mosaic tapestry version to simplify the technique for you, indicating precisely when to change colours.
