Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern Secret of the Jungle

Step into the hidden world of the jungle with this beautiful crochet wall hanging! Among the lush tropical greenery, you'll discover a stunning waterfall, a playful hanging monkey, a colourful toucan and a curious turtle. A little piece of jungle magic brought to life on your wall!

This charming wall hanging makes a wonderful eye-catcher in a nursery, children's bedroom or cosy corner of your home. But why not turn it into a little rug instead? Simply place a suitable non-slip mat underneath, such as one from IKEA, and you'll have a lovely soft rug beside your child's bed. Perfect for keeping those little feet warm when getting in and out of bed!

Using the overlay mosaic crochet technique, you'll see the jungle scenery slowly come to life, row by row. A lovely project for anyone who enjoys creating something special without taking on a large blanket.
