Fruit Garden CAL Free Crochet Pattern – The Best Versions
Fruit Garden CAL
Cream or off-white are great colors for a background in this project, because they create a base for the flowers to bloom! Terri chose shades of purple and green for her flower motifs, so the project is delicate and has a vintage vibe. Take a look at the photos to see the stunning lacy rectangle motifs that create the border. Amazing!

Nelishan created a truly eye-catching version thanks to her use of colors, so take a look at the photos below to see what I mean! What I find interesting here is the choice of white yarn for joining the squares, because that’s not common. What’s more, the blue-white flowers in the border look like snowflakes – beautifully contrasting with the rest of the piece.

Thank you very much. I am n not able to buy patterns. Thank you again.
The patterns are mostly free, we don’t sell them, we just post inspirations with patterns, that belong to the authors 🙂
Hi Lauren, thank you for the info, I’ve already changed the description. The problem is, that when we’ve posted it, it was free, but sometimes the author decides to monetize the pattern after a while 🙁
