Creative Crochet Photo Frames – Ideas and Free Patterns

Looking for a unique gift for a loved one? We’ve got something for you. Crochet photo frames will be just perfect!

If you have basic skills in crochet but don’t want to make another shawl or undertake a big project, this may be for you. Creative Crochet Photo Frames are a lovely way to express your feelings and make a home accessory.

You can use amigurumi techniques and make it all even more fun. If you need an elegant lacy frame, you can make one, too! In addition, you can always change it up as you like – add or subtract certain details, like flowers or embroidery. Giving a photo in a frame may seem a bit old-school, but it will be a great gift.

Check out these patterns under the links below and follow us on Facebook Fanpage and Pinterest for more creative ideas!
