Create your own elegant Manta Ray using the popular African Flowers crochet technique.
This project combines geometry and creativity — 31 beautifully shaped flower motifs are crocheted and then joined together to form the flowing body of the ray.
Each step is carefully illustrated and described, making it an enjoyable and rewarding project for intermediate crocheters.
The pattern comes with two PDF files:
• File 1: Step-by-step assembly instructions for the Manta Ray
• File 2: Detailed tutorial on how to crochet the African Flowers motifs and learn the joining technique
