There are so many different ways to display your crochet, including many different types of frames that you can use.
The use of embroidery hoops as frames has been popular for a while, but using a standard picture frame can also work well.
There’s options to crochet your own frame to display a crochet piece, or simple add a crochet frame around the edges to the piece already made! We have a whole bunch of examples (and some patterns and tutorials!) of many creative ways to display your work and hope that you will find inspiration here!
