Bella the Squirrel crocheted with African Flowers

You can create this cute squirrel in the technique of African Flowers.
First you crochet the single flower elements. For this you get a detailed and well illustrated pattern. Since several similar motifs are needed, you can soon crochet the flowers without having to look in the pattern. So you can always crochet a few flower elements in between and advance your work on the go.

In the next step, the motifs will be joined together (crocheted together). Here you need more concentration. In the pattern everything is described in detail. In addition, you will find many very detailed figures in the pattern. Step by step you join all the flower elements to the figure.

For the making also wool scraps can be used excellently, so Bella will be colorful.

You get two PDF documents. One for the creation of the flowers (22 pages). A second for creating the figure (14 pages). In this, the joining of the 23 flowers is described in detail and with pictures.

The tutorial is written in English (US-terms). Mastery of chain, slip stitches, single crochets and double crochets is assumed. You will get two PDF documents.
