Zen Tangle Elephants

☀️ Summer Crochet Fun – **Zen Tangle Elephants** (Parent & Child) It might be sunny and warm outside, but that’s no reason not to start a gorgeous blanket – especially one from my unique hand drawn design! Say hello to Zen Tangle Elephants, a heart-warming parent-and-child duo you can crochet now… or save for those cooler months. **Your pattern includes:** • 3 languages: English (US terms), German, and Dutch • Written instructions for both left- and right-handed crocheters • Two techniques included – Overlay Mosaic Crochet and Interlocking Filet Crochet (why not try a new one?) • Links to my video tutorials for both techniques • Reference chart, zoomable X chart for devices, and printable X chart • Photo tutorial for Interlocking Filet Crochet • Fully tested (huge thanks to my wonderful testers – Agnieszka, Angelique, Betsy, Maja, Marleen, and Mary – for putting up with me during my “stressed and gathering info” moments ) Yarn Tip: Choose two high-contrast colours – keep light shades light and dark shades dark to avoid “zombie eyes” or a photo-negative effect.
