Homespun Crochet

Selling WHAT YOU MAKE • A quick guide to get you started!

Modern Rustic COASTERS • Timeless coasters with a modern, rustic charm. Made with only five rounds, so a quick and easy make!

Lemon Squ-easy SQUARES • Aptly named, these linen stitch squares can be made by any crocheter and have a variety of uses. Use them in your bathroom on your face and body or use them in the kitchen as a dishcloth or kettle trivet. These cotton cloths are also 100% compostable at their life’s end!

Mobile Phone HOLDER • “We never go anywhere without our phones anymore! But I don’t always have a pocket or wish to take my handbag, so a phone holder is the perfect alternative. This pattern uses the versatile granny square to fit the average size smart phone, and can be made with as many colours as you like. I’ve used four colours. It’s a great stash buster!” – Lynda

Penny POT PLANT • A perfect pot plant with lots of personality for your desk or bookshelf. This project would also make a wonderful gift for a plant lover.

Betty Jean COWL • A versatile chunky cowl that uses alternating front post and back post crochet stitches until the desired length is achieved.

YURI THE YETI • Yuri comes from the Altai Mountains, nestled between Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. He loves blueberries and tobogganing and gives the very best hugs! He’s the sweetest little snowball, and can’t wait to ‘chill out’ with you.

This simple pocket scarf is made by making two squares and two sides to a scarf, the pockets are added as you go and the pieces are joined together. Make this scarf even more special by using super soft, luxurious wool for amazing drape. This Unforgettable pattern is dedicated to my Nanna who passed away in early 2022 and unknowingly influenced my creative journey. Love ya, Nan! Xoxo” – Tegan
