Practice Piece

I learnt a lot from this practice piece. You can read tutorials and peruse patterns, but in the end you have to actually try a new technique to learn it! Of course there is a lot more to overlay crochet than I have attempted. I just wanted to learn enough to achieve the effect I want on my cushion, that of leaves floating on the water.

  1. You are right, of course - one has to do it for oneself ... In a few of my initial blocks, the overlay came out a bit tighter, pulling in the edge & I ended up having to redo the overlay at times .
    Your leaves are very pretty!!!

  2. Well done! I looked at the tutorial, but as I'm just learning to crochet, it will have to wait until later.
