Crochet Daisy Top - Link to free pattern

 If you have read my little 'about me' bio (over on the right!) You'll see I've been on a hiatus from designing. I've been putting together some blog posts recently and thought I should share one of the things I've been working on this past year


the Crochet Daisy Top! 



It's a free pattern that is on the Spotlight Australia website (I can't promise the pattern will be there forever) click the link to go see it.


It's a boxy, slightly oversized design, but it could be easily customized by adding an extra row for more length or taking out some squares at the neckline for a scoop!


Happy Crocheting!

Buttercup Hexagon. Free Crochet Pattern.



Last year I published a square for a CAL, called the Buttercup Square. I have been thinking about making a hexagon version... and here it is! 



It has the same 3D floral centre motif, then six corners are created in row 8, instead of four. 

Hexagons have an added bonus of two ways of fitting them together, which I'll get to at the end of this blog post. 


I have stuck with my buttercup yellow colour, but this time, I have used a 5mm hook and a cotton/nylon blend DK/8ply weight, making my hexagons 25 cm wide. As with any motif, yarn weight, and hook size can be altered to your preferences! 


Reminder or the square version

Joining your motifs

As previously mentioned there are two ways to join your motifs. (Note, you can use any joining method you like) I like to think of this version as a solid fill.

And the second version is a bit airier and lacey, with the triangles being negative space.



All hexagons will work like this! As you can see with this other hexagon motif
