free pattern: love hearts

In plenty of time for Valentine’s Day, I have a new crochet pattern to share today: Love Hearts! String them into a garland, add a pin back to make a cute brooch, or fill a bowl with pretty hearts for Valentine’s Day decorating. This is a clever little pattern to make sweet hearts in three […]

AmiDogs Border Collie crochet pattern

First pattern of 2011! Actually, this is a bit of a cheat – this was a commissioned pattern that I completed in December, but I haven’t found the time until now to list it in my shop. AmiDogs Border Collie marks the 18th breed in my AmiDogs series: You can vary the angle and height […]

Christmas Baubles crochet pattern

I hadn’t planned to do a Christmas pattern this year, as I have so many already and it’s getting more and more difficult each year to think of something original! I’ve had the idea of a set of tree decorations kicking about in the back of my mind for a couple of years now, but […]

AmiDogs Greyhound crochet pattern

Although I love my amigurumi patterns, I have more to give in the crochet field, so I’ve come up with a new design line: PlanetJune Accessories. Don’t forget to read […]

fall seasonal patterns & crochetalong

Don’t miss the Fall Crochet-Along info and discount code at the end of this post! Did you know that, as of right now, I have 75 crochet patterns in my shop?! That’s a lot to look through! I thought some of you may be new to the wonderful world of PlanetJune (ha!) or might appreciate […]

designing a kingfisher

Oooh, look what just arrived yesterday: the new issue of Inside Crochet. And, hello, what’s that on p92? Yay, it’s my new Kingfisher design! When Inside Crochet commissioned me to make a colourful design, I knew I wanted to make something British (as it’s a UK magazine, and as a salute to the lovely wildlife […]
