Japanese Crochet Pattern: Frame Motif (Chart Included)

A crochet charm made from two crochet motifs.
I tried to design it with a window like a photo frame.

You can also attach a pin to the back to make it a brooch, or use it like a name tag or key chain.

This recipe contains crochet patterns with 3 types of frame motifs: rectangle, oval, and triangle.

In the example of the pink work, the yarn was a little thick, so I crochet it with a 3.0 mm crochet hook, but for the others, I used a 2.50 mm crochet hook.

The mixed yarn used for the rectangular frame on the upper left is a linen material, and the others are samples crocheted with wool yarn.
In the crochet pattern, the yarn used most in the work example is listed as the yarn used.

Once you finish the motif, what will you tuck inside the frame?

For the sample works, I used craft materials like Tyrolean tapes and small pieces of leather. Of course, your favorite fabric scraps or beautiful paper would also be wonderful choices.

Since the crocheted frame has a soft, gentle feel, adding a piece of plastic sheet or cardboard behind your insert will make it much sturdier. If you plan to use it as a name tag or for something that requires a bit more durability, I recommend applying a small amount of craft glue along the inner edge of the frame to keep everything securely in place.

I hope you enjoy finishing it in your own unique way.
