Product Description
Antler Forest Shrine C2C Crochet Mosaic Pattern
Create a dramatic woodland-inspired statement piece with the Antler Forest Shrine C2C Crochet Mosaic Pattern.
This detailed two-color C2C graphgan combines forest symbolism, gothic architecture, botanical ornament and celestial details in one highly decorative composition.
At the center of the upper section is a striking deer skull framed by large branching antlers, with a crescent moon and star-like accents above. Ferns, roses, leafy branches and floral vines surround the central motif, creating a dense woodland frame.
The lower section features an ornate gothic-style shrine or arched doorway, accompanied by candle motifs and additional botanical details. Roses and foliage continue around the edges, giving the entire design a rich, symmetrical, tapestry-like appearance.
The original pattern uses Cream + Burgundy, creating a warm vintage contrast that works beautifully for gothic interiors, dark cottagecore spaces, woodland rooms and statement crochet projects.

INCLUDED C2C CROCHET GUIDE
The illustrated guide uses US crochet terminology and explains the fundamental diagonal box crochet method.
It covers:
• Making the first C2C block
• Increasing along diagonal rows
• Joining neighboring blocks
• Reaching the longest diagonal
• Decreasing
• Reading pixel charts
• Color changes
• Common troubleshooting
The guide explains that each square in the pixel chart becomes one crochet block. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
The first block begins with ch 6, with the first three chains acting as the turning chain and the remaining three chains worked with double crochet. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
After the longest diagonal is reached, decreasing begins by turning and slip-stitching inward instead of adding another outside block. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
TWO-COLOR CREAM & BURGUNDY DESIGN
The supplied pattern uses:
Cream Motif + Burgundy Background
Cream defines the antlers, deer skull, roses, ferns, moon, shrine, candles and decorative foliage, while the deep Burgundy background creates a rich, dramatic contrast.
Because the chart uses only two colors, you may also substitute your own preferred combination while following the same pattern.
Possible alternatives include:
Ivory + Black
Cream + Forest Green
Warm White + Deep Plum
Beige + Charcoal
Ivory + Dark Brown
Cream + Navy
The supplied PDFs themselves use Cream motif and Burgundy background. Antler_Forest_Shrine_C2C_240x34…
