Go wild with this junglicious take on a picture frame.

Originally designed for Simply Crochet Magazine Issue 84, this tropical palm tree is a decorative textile wall art project combining crochet, botanical inspiration and sculptural wire techniques.

The pattern includes detailed instructions for creating:

• the palm tree and trunk
• wire-structured crochet palm leaves
• bananas
• tropical flowers
• lianas
• grass
• final assembly

Several elements are crocheted directly around wire frames, allowing the leaves and botanical details to keep their shape while remaining flexible and adjustable.

Although presented as a textile wall hanging, the individual elements may also inspire other decorative and botanical crochet projects.

Materials used:
• King Cole Pricewise DK
• Metal wire
• Crochet hook
• Basic finishing supplies

Skill level: Intermediate.

Bonus included:
• One free crochet tutorial
• Access to additional Naturofils content

Languages: English & French.
