A simple bag, designed for beginners to crochet. All in double crochet, UK Terminology.

This square can be made in one colour or several. Great for using up the oddments of your stash!

I did not invent this pattern. It has been around for some time and I don’t know who the original designer was.

A simple top-down sock pattern for babies of 3 - 6 months.

Oddments of 4ply used double, or DK.

I originally designed this pattern to make my granddaughter a necklace on elastic, in white cotton, so that she could colour each bead herself with felt-tip pens.

FREE pattern for my crochet string bag!

I used this edging to go down the side of a curtain, but it could be used for a variety of purposes.

Little flags for little people. Bunting always looks sweet decorating a baby’s room!

A retro-style, triangular-shaped coaster in bright colours and thick cotton to mop up any drips!

Please let me know if you find any errors in this pattern.

I have tried to make this pattern error-free, but I am the only person who has made it so far! If you find a problem, please let me know so that I can amend the pattern.

A pattern I first designed in the 1970s, which was published in Woman’s Weekly magazine in the UK.

Pretty little crochet flowers with many uses.

I used kidsilk haze and DMC cotton together to give a firmer brooch flower. The centres were felt pieces I bought, or a felt ball, sometimes cut in half to expose the multi-coloured inside.

I wrote this pattern after struggling with a rather vague one I had bought.

This little bag, a variation on my standard tree bag pattern, is designed to hold just one Ferrero Rocher chocolate and hang on the Christmas tree!

One Ferrero Rocher chocolate fits perfectly in one of these tree bags. You may find other sweet treats that fit equally well!

The strap on these sweet little shoes keeps them from being lost!

I use this purse for my loose change, but it would be equally good for a bride to hold her lipstick and comb in or to hold sugared almonds as christening favours.

I created this pattern for my head - which is not very big - so you may need to add some rows!

If you want brown eggs try dyeing the finished work (before stuffing) in strong tea. I tried coffee but the colour was not as strong.

I have also used this technique to make straps for a shoulder bag in DK yarn, without the beads.

This is a quick and simple pattern but very effective.

The pattern for an impromptu bag I made for my little granddaughter.
