Marrakech Crochet Motif Pullover FREE Pattern

Marrakech Crochet Motif Pullover FREE Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl

This beautiful crochet motif is inspired by Moroccan tilework. Notice how there is a central design yet when you join the corners, the corner design turns into a central design as well! The motifs are joined as you go and the pattern shows you how to crochet each motif individually and join as you go. And, this motif is part of my book, Seamless Crochet. So if you want to learn to crochet this top with motifs that join as you go without cutting the yarn you can learn that additional lesson in the book and apply it to this sweater pattern!
