FATW6 – Adventures in Mosaic Crochet – Garden Theme – Strip 11 – Dragonfly by Saleha Waseem

This stunning Dragonfly is strip 11 of our Garden themed CAL, and is the fifth pattern submitted by Saleha Waseem of Crochet Karma and our designer from Pakistan. We thank Saleha for all of her time, effort and enthusiasm in providing us with five amazing patterns in all. This one is such a regal looking dragonfly! It is sure to add charm and class to your gardens. It is the last of the flying creatures for the blanket but if you really, really love it you can always make a blanket with just the Dragonfly, like Suzanne did. Her blanket and choice of colors are a sheer delight to behold!

In doing a little research on dragonflies, I learned that dragonflies eat insects as adults and eat lots of mosquitoes, something quite beneficial to humans. They spend most of their lives as nymphs below the water’s surface for up to four years and come up when they reach maturity. They actually only live as a true dragonfly for about 6 months. They are symbolic and represent change and new beginnings, living life to the fullest, and growth, maturity and wisdom. They are found in all parts of the world and like to live in warm climates, near water. No wonder we find them fascinating and purchase all sorts of things dragonfly related. How many of you own a dragonfly brooch? I may have a few…

All of these beautiful and colorful dragonflies by our Makers depict the dragonfly’s unique beauty.
