Crochet ajour pattern | manual

Our flowers in ajour pattern are crocheted over a total of 12 rows . New flowers always grow after four rows, which are then crocheted staggered in the next four rows. This results in a nice sample picture.

The following instructions are the start for a new crochet stitch. By repeating the stitches that are described between the * (asterisk), you determine the individual size of your crochet. The stitches before and after these asterisks show the edge of a row.

Our sample shows the entire pattern of this ajour pattern. It consists of three whole and four half flowers . When crocheting itself, it quickly becomes clear which stitch sequence has to be repeated.

To support you, we have drawn a small graphic representation that is identical to our sample. You can rework the individual rows precisely in our crochet script.
