Breathe - Pattern Only

I love autumn leaves and this repeating design celebrates the colours of nature. My Instagram community suggested 'Breathe' as the central word, which makes perfect sense as we rely on trees and plants to create oxygen for us. Use this as a beautiful reminder to pause, take a deep breath and just be.

This Hoops & Crosses pattern is suitable for beginners.
