Guinea Pig Hammock Free Crochet Pattern
This guinea pig hammock came about through the most tragic of circumstances. Unfortunately our beautiful, cheeky Cino became ill very suddenly and despite two trips to the vets, antibiotics and syringe feeding, we sadly lost him. We were all devastated.

Not Just for Easter Eggs – Free Crochet Pattern

Pot of Gold – St Patrick’s Day Free Crochet Pattern
I thought that since today is St Patrick’s Day it would be nice for the little ones to find a Pot of Gold waiting for them when they wake up. After all, isn’t that why we all love a rainbow? The promise that we might find some hidden treasure among the beautiful shimmering colours. So […]

Crochet Cowl – Free Pattern for all seasons
I am rather partial to a crochet cowl. They look great over t- shirts, keep your neck warm and don’t have any trailing ends that can get caught under a heel if you stand up too quickly. Not that you’d ever catch me doing something like that in front of a room full of people… […]
