Beaded Bird of Hope

£74.00

Aster was the stunning bird designed by Kerry Lord for TOFT's 2022 Advent Crochetalong. Full of symbolism, this bird was inspired by several myths and legends including the phoenix (rebirth and renewal), the dove (peace and innocence), the alicanto (treasures yet to be discovered) and the caladrius (healing). Now you can crochet this beacon of hope and inspiration for yourself and display her in your home for years to come. Find helpful tutorials from the 2022 CAL on TOFT's Instagram video @edscrochetalong.
