As seen in Marly Bird’s 24 Days of Quickies

Embroidery on crochet is a simple and clever way to decorate an otherwise boring piece (hah). Here, I used half-double crochet stitches as the base for simple running, cross and arrowhead embroidery stitches, but you can also embroider on single crochet, Tunisian simple stitch or Tunisian knit stitch.

The premium pattern available in my shops includes a photo primer.

You’ll find this free pattern below.

Thank you Marly and Cryssi for another amazing blog hop!
