With Memorial Day and July 4th right around the corner, I wanted to share a FREE pattern to crochet a patriotic wreath. Here is a picture of the one I made from the pattern to hang over my mantle last year.
The pattern is fairly easy to make using a styrofoam wreath as a base. For the stars, I substituted pearls instead of the french knots called for in the pattern. If you would like the pattern that is available for FREE on Yarnspirations, click on my picture!
Made by Mary is now making her crochet superhero patterns FREE on Ravelry. Mary Smith is the talented designer behind Made by Mary and apparently she was unable to get Disney's permission to sell her patterns, so she decided to give them away. If you have never made one of Mary's patterns, they are wonderful. I recently made her pattern "Holli the Heart" for my grandson as a Valentine's gift.
Please remember that while Mary has made her patterns FREE, they are still her property as far as copyright. Also, remember that Mary is making them free because Disney would not allow Mary to sell her patterns so a word of caution for all crocheters...if you sell completed superhero dolls made from Mary's patterns, you could encounter some problems with Disney; they are very proactive in stopping the sale of their trademarked property. Lastly, please don't forget to show Mary some "love" by adding some of her patterns to your favorites in Ravelry! Click on each picture to go directly to the patterns.
I love strawberries; I also love making vignettes to display "things I love" around my home. So when a FREE pattern for crocheted strawberries came across my Facebook newsfeed a couple of weeks ago, I just knew I had to make some.
The pattern I used was found on CraftyMarie and calls for using worsted weight yarn. I hope you will enjoy this super easy crochet pattern and make some strawberries to display in your own home. Click on the picture to get the FREE pattern from craftymarie!
Does it get any cuter than this? Here's a quick project that would look adorable in the bathroom or how about including it in a basket of cleaning items as a gift for a wedding shower?
