Discover the thrill of creating the bold and adventurous Tiger Mosaic Top in our May and June workshops. This striking piece, designed by Natalia Kononova of Outstanding Crochet, combines artistry and technique, making it a truly rewarding project for confident crocheters. 

The Tiger Top is worked from the bottom up using an advanced overlay mosaic technique, bringing the eye-catching tiger motif to life across the front. The back and sleeves feature a complementary, simpler pattern that beautifully frames the design. With options for long, short, or capped sleeves, you can customise your top to suit any season—making it as versatile as it is stunning. 

Sign up for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or all 6 classes. 

During the first class Lynda will provide an overview of the construction, hints and tips for reading the pattern and begin with the band.  In the remaining classes Lynda will guide you through perfecting the advanced overlay mosaic technique, and ensuring your top fits. 

This class is designed for intermediate crocheters who are already familir with mosaic crochet.
