How to do it
Begin the Foundation
Make the floral pieces as shown in the tutorial. Work each motif carefully to make them look even and balanced.
Work Main Section
Once the flowers are crocheted, make the connecting parts and the decorative hanging sections. Keep a steady tension so that the finished piece will hang nicely.
Change the size
Repeat the motifs or work the hanging strands further until you get the look you want. You can go short and sweet or make it more dramatic.
Join or Form
Arrange the pieces in the desired order then join as shown below. Check the layout before you finish so the design looks like it is centered.
Complete Edges
Mount the finished piece on a rod or dowel. Cut any fringe or hanging strands to a level, and weave in all loose ends.
Helpful Hints
If you are making more than one matching motif, use stitch markers. Lay pieces flat as you go to check shape. Gently smooth into place before hanging for a neater finish.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Sewing Too Tightly
- Creating motifs in unusual sizes
- Joining without shape checks
- trim fringe before comparing length
- Not weaving your ends in securely
Customization suggestions
Choose softer neutrals for a calm boho look, or brighter shades for a cheerful space. Add your own style with a longer fringe, more flowers, beads or a different hanging rod.
