Here's a mini pride flag that's easy enough for a true beginner to make. Get the free pattern HERE.
Pin it to your hat or tote, or leave it in public for someone to find and take home.
Rebecca the Raccoon--third in a series of woodland creatures
Introducing Rebecca the Racoon!
Rebecca is the third in a series of 5 woodland-inspired amigurumi dolls, complete with little outfits, that will be appearing in consecutive issues of Crochet World magazine. All animals will have the same body, so clothing for each--jackets, skirts, vests, etc.--will fit any of the animals.
Check out the Summer 2025 issue of Crochet World.
Rayna the Rabbit--second in a series of woodland creatures
Introducing Rayna the Rabbit!

Barrett the Bear--first in a series of woodland creatures
Introducing the first in a series of woodland creatures: Barrett the Bear.
The rest of the amigurumi patterns will be featured in the next four issues of Crochet World after this one. They will all have the same body, and will be able to wear each other's clothing--jackets, skirts, scarves, etc. I made them with Lion Brand Color Theory, a soft yarn in amazing colors. I think you'll like making all of them!

An Amigurumi in Paris
Just in time for the Olympics: Pierre the French Poodle, an amigurumi inspired by the iconic film, An American in Paris.
The pattern--available here--includes Pierre's feline friend, Fifi.
Gingham Picnic Pillow
My crocheted pillow is featured in the current issue of Crochet World (summer 2024). The design is inspired by the checkered tablecloths I've always loved--so cozy and comforting. It's a deceptively simple pattern, crocheted in cotton, made up of three-round granny squares in three colors.
Don't you just want to curl up on it with an ice cold lemonade and a good book?
Keep crocheting!
Free Pattern to Crochet-along!
I just started a group on Ravelry, Crochet for Mental Health. If you are not already on Ravelry.com, it's a terrific place for finding patterns, ideas, and like-minded friends interested in countless topics--and it's free to join!
I'm hosting a CAL--a crochet-along--through the group. We will be crocheting a small stuffed animal, beginning Sunday, 29 October, 2023. Email me (donna.childs.crochets@gmail.com) for list of materials and more info. You will receive the free pattern, more free patterns, and detailed instructions day-by-day, ending on that Friday. (If you sign up after the 29th, you'll have to pay for the collection of patterns).
As I've said before, Crochet is soothing, gratifying, builds community, boost self-esteem, and comforts others. Come visit my Crochet for Mental Health group to learn how crochet can benefit you, and to share your experience with others.
I hope to see you next month for the crochet-along!
