An easy Crochet Butterfly Pattern

A pattern worked in one round with your two yarn ends snipped to make the butterfly's antennae! 

A great little project that you can complete in a few minutes.

Summer Sun

A jolly sun with eight sun rays.

You can add a chain to hang this up, too.

It starts with a magic ring, and it's really fun to make!

The Crochet Bike Appliqué

A fairly realistic bike, this, with handlebars that stick out on each side (you can make a flat version, too.)

Customize with a contrasting yarn to show off your spokes ;)

Add a brooch back and make a gift for your bike-mad friends.

A Penny Farthing Appliqué

A real penny and a real farthing... plus a crocheted version of the penny farthing bike!

One of those designs where I just wanted to produce a shape that, I hope, will bring a little Victorian fun into your lives!

Use for a vintage card or Victorian project.

Steampunk Gear Wheel

Mixing a little industrial Victoriana and our sedately fabulous craft, here's a Steampunk-style gear wheel.

This example's in thread, and my tutorial features a gear worked in DK weight yarn - so you can work in whatever yarn suits you to make a coaster or decorative item.

Picot Crochet Star

Two simple rounds make this beautiful star or cross shape.

Mine is worked in thread, which makes quite a small piece, ideal for a little ornamentation.

However, you can certainly use a heavier weight yarn if you prefer!

Pearly Picot Star

A six point star with pearl beads worked into a picot on each point.

My step-by-step written pattern and photo tutorial show you exactly how it's done.

I'm thrilled to present... my Silver Star!

He's got a lot of character and looks great on my bonsai which needs cheering up!

Follow the written pattern and/or the photos.

Find out how to tie your two yarn ends together nicely so you can hang your star up or attach it to a gift.
