Labyrinth Pillowcase

 Hi :)

Last year just before Christmas I was gifted a box of yarn from Sirdar :)

and now I'm going to show you the first thing I've made with those happy balls.

Ingredients: 

1 ball of Sirdar CountryClassic - Ginger - or in colour of your choice ;)

4,5 mm hook

1/2 ball of Sirdar Adventure - Polar - or in colour of your choice ;)

7 mm hook

Recipe:

so you could make one too ;)

Pattern release: Echo blanket

Echo blanket uses simple stitches to form narrow petals …

Get your pattern pdf on ravelry for just one euro ! ;)

I often use yarn and crocheting to calm my mind and in this lockdown life all of us need more peace .. especially if you, like me, have homeschooling on top of everything else .. I prefer mindless crochet when I’m stressed out so I’ve created blanket with simple rules to follow and written out first 18 rounds to help you find your peace during these stressful times.

Mandala Maze

Every now and again I get drawn in by mandalas ...

I made this one a while ago and on January I finally decided to write it up :) And while I was doing just that my instagram account reached 25k followers and I decided to share this beauty as Mystery mandala :) as a celebration and yarn party in these otherwise crazy times ...

Now that mystery part is over I've added them on ravelry & etsy in pdf form as well ;)

Addendum 8: finishing touch ;)

Hearts have been made ... edges have been smoothened over with heart parts and now only thing left to do is edging :)

So here it comes!

Joining square to TinkerBellsGarden

In this video I show you how I join pieces for Tinker Bells Garden.

And a neat trick on how to hide which piece has been crocheted last ;)
(I like my octagons to be on top, so making and joining this square I hide corner stitches underneath octagon stitches)

I use the same joining technique for Triangular madness blanket as well as Flying Kites blanket ;)
