Both my customers and I have been working steadily to complete a number of crochet photo pattern pieces. I’m so pleased with how they turned out that I wanted to share them with you.

Nora Ashley loves doing graphghans and prefers to work with my patterns instead of using a graph. She has also started a business creating afghans for customers. I’ll be doing a separate blog post on Nora’s business very soon.
Ima Flenming-Foster created this piece from an old photo of her parents. It will make a great framed piece or even a pillow. Both Nora’s and Ima’s pieces are crocheted horizontally, from the bottom up.
You don’t have to speak English to understand my patterns. Meire Couto, whom I’ve been chatting with on Google+ in Portuguese (thanks Google Translate!), just finished this Little Butterfly pattern. It’s the free pattern I recommend newcomers start with. She did a great job!
Finally, I recently finished this piece of my good friend, Lyn and her husband Bill, who got married last year. I created the pattern from one of their wedding photos. Lyn and I are going to frame the finished piece so she can hang it on her wall. Both Meire and this piece are crocheted vertically, from side to side.
Since the main stitch involved in crocheting these pieces is single crochet, they are fairly easy to do. The patterns give you all the information you need to complete them. I also have some crochet photo pattern tips and tricks that will give you even more information on working with these patterns. And you can always reach me at yarnoverpullthrough@gmail.com if you have questions or would like to get started making your own crochet photo pattern pieces.
Happy crocheting!
