Frida’s Flowers stool is a pattern from my second book, Gallery. This book is based on iconic paintings by the greatest masters of time, including Frida Kahlo’s self portraits - which this pattern is based on. The book is retiring soon; therefore, the patterns are also available individually as a download.

Some general information about the Frida’s Flowers stool:

Size: The finished size of the cover will be the same as the stool used. If you only want to crochet the circle for the top – it will measure approximately 12 inches.

Other materials needed: 1 stool with a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 4 inches. This indicates the stool without the wooden frame where the cover will be placed.

Optional is using 30 pearl beads in size 2/0 and some textile glue on a transparent drying base.
