Esther: I’m afraid I don’t know of a pattern like the one you described, but I have 2 suggestions for you:
1) If it was a free pattern, try looking on http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com in the Free Pattern Directory – there are links to just about every free crochet pattern that’s available online.
2) Sign up for a free account at http://www.crochetville.org and post a message there asking for help. There are thousands of knowledgeable members and it’s very likely that at least one knows of the pattern you’re looking for!
Good luck!

Hi June!
So excited to try flowers. I generally make blankets and scarves (so don’t have to follow a pattern ~ know how to read, but sometimes want to talk or watch tv, not count)! :0)
Anyway, I’m relatively inexperienced and yet I think I might be able to do this.
Initially came to your site through referral from Arianne Donaghue on Ravelry (“Skater Beanie” pattern instructions) to learn the “magic circle”. Have tried 2x and *almost* had it the 2nd time!
Am sure will have it by end of day! Can’t wait as last week a beret turned into my own pattern for pastel Easter eggs! LOL! 
Even they will look better! And so will my berets/tams/newsboy hats (once I find workable-for-me patterns).
I also look forward to exploring your blog & web site as I am also into a wide array of crafts! I’m thrilled you’ve found a way to combine your passions into a business! I wish you all the best!

Thank you, Suzanne! It’s lovely to hear from you. I’m glad you’re finding my magic ring tutorial useful! It really is a useful technique, and very easy once you figure it out.
Most amigurumi-style patterns (single crocheted in a continuous spiral – including my flowers and other patterns) are quite simple – just make sure you use a stitch marker so that you can figure out where you were if you get distracted! I often crochet while I watch TV and the stitch marker can be a lifesaver

Hi June, I was looking for patterns and when I found your “Graduation Owl” I knew I had to make him. My friend whom I made ‘Oswold’ for has just finished the last room of her (circa) 1862 Villa she has been working on this project for 19 years so I had to make her something special to commemorate the occasion!! I also used your wonderful tutorial for the magic ring. Thank you for being kind enough to share your gift for design. I am also a crochet teacher, so I enjoy being able to help others to gain the confidence to try different things. I have been busy downloading patterns to save as my printer is on the fritz at the moment but boy watch those hooks fly when I get it fixed!!! Cheers Fiona

Hi June,
I hope this will come to you, I wasn’t sure what email to use. I was wondering if you have ever heard of Russian Crochet or Crochenit? I have recently discovered this technique, which combines crocheting and knitting. I have found this to be a very enjoyable (thus far), it reminds me more of crocheting.
The problem is, I haven’t found a lot of luck finding a variety of patterns. Very small selection. Then I thought of you and your beautiful designs. I know from your website that you have a lot going on, but I thought in your spare time (like a crafter ever has any….ha ha) maybe you could check it out, if you don’t already know about it.
From what I have read, it has been around since the 1800′s, but it is slowly making a come back. Then this morning you came to mind, and I thought if anyone could design something unique and beautiful to do, it would be you.
Just thought I would pass this on to you, and hope you find it as interesting as I do. Hope to see more patterns for this new technique, and if you would feel inclined to purse designing for it, I know that it would be VERY beautiful.
Also, I want to let you know again, how much I love your work and your website. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful designs. Happy crocheting (and designing)!!!!

Thanks for your lovely message! You can always reach me at craft@planetjune.com, by the way.
I haven’t heard of Russian Crochet before; I wonder if it’s similar to Tunisian Crochet? I’ll definitely be interested to look into it, when I have a little more time
Thanks for thinking of me!

Hi:
My friend purchased the Fuzzy Lamb patterns after I had agreed to make them for her. I am in a quandry because I cannot find the Bernat Baby Lash yarn. I do not find any information on yarn’s weight. Is it equal to a knitting worsted? I have searched online for this yarn and cannot find it. Can you suggest where I might find it? I am also having trouble finding the Red Heart Foxy. I am wondering if these yarns are discontinued and if so, what would be appropriate to use in place of the above? Thank you.
June Said,
June 21, 2010 @ 7:14 pm
Betty, when I created my ‘Fuzzy’ patterns, in 2007 and 2008, there were a lot of different eyelash yarns available in most yarn and craft stores. Sadly, most of them have now been discontinued and it can be difficult to find a suitable yarn. You could substitute a different fuzzy yarn, or try looking on eBay.com or Ravelry.com for someone who may have eyelash yarn for sale.
My Fuzzy Yarn Tips should give you an idea of what each type of eyelash yarn looks like (Baby Lash is a thick core yarn, and Foxy is a thin core) so you can find a replacement. I can’t give you specific replacements – there are still a lot of different types of eyelash yarn available in some stores – for example my local yarn store has lots of different types, of brands I’ve never heard of – but most of the big box stores have stopped carrying most novelty yarns.
Alternatively, you can crochet using a regular worsted weight yarn, and then brush it to give a fluffy effect (or leave it unbrushed if you’d prefer). Please see my Fuzzy to Brushed Crochet tutorial for information on how to do that.
(FYI for anyone else thinking of buying my fuzzy patterns: I send a document including all this information with every fuzzy pattern purchased!)

Hi, I wanted to say thank you for making your patterns so clear and easy to use. I am a complete beginner but have managed to make the sea turtle and elephants as part of my brother’s Discworld christmas present. I was wondering if you could help me with the Disc though. I realise you can’t give out a pattern for the Disc but I have been trying desperately to make the plain blue circle for weeks now and I can’t seem to get it right. Would it be possible to explain how to crochet a flat circle? (sorry it’s a bit of a stupid question)
Thanks again for any help you can offer in time for Christmas
June Said,
December 20, 2010 @ 3:53 pm
It’s not a stupid question! The formula for making a circle in single crochet is pretty simple though: start out with 6 stitches in a magic ring, then, for each round, increase by 6 stitches. So it’ll look like this:
Make a magic ring, ch 1.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 st)
Rnd 3: (2 sc in next st, sc in next st) six times. (18 st)
Rnd 4: (2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 st) six times. (24 st)
Rnd 5: (2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 st) six times. (30 st)
Etc etc. I hope that helps! I’d love to see a pic of your Discworld when you’ve finished it

Hello June, I have been sent your link by my Daughter Julie, and her son Ben my Grandson is getting married on April 12th in a Cave in Liskeard in Cornwall England which should be quite magical!! Both Julie and the Bride to be, Elle, are fanatical Terry Pratchett fans and have spotted your fabulous concoction Amigurumi Discworld and think it would make an ideal ring platform at the wedding instead of the usual cushion for the rings, as the Wedding has a Magical theme. I wonder if it is possible for me to purchase or aquire the patterns for the different elements (especially the disc!!world) in order for me to make and assemble in time for the Wedding as a surprise for them. Thank You in anticipation
Mrs Ann Ray

Hi Ann, what a lovely idea! I can’t sell a pattern for the Disc itself (for copyright reasons) but I sell the Elephant and Sea Turtle patterns and I give more info about the disc in this blog post if you’d like to make one: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/discworld-update/

Hi love your site. Thank you for sharing your patterns. It’s so nice to see someone who has so much talent and shares its with others.
Can you tell me how does someone become a designer of patterns. Is there a crochet school or something one has to go to learn something like this?
I crochet and can follow most patterns and sometimes I can copy an item by looking at it. It is hard for me to come up with my own design, I don’t know where to begin.
Love to hear from you.
Thank you,

Myrian, I’d love to give you the answer to your question, but there’s no way to teach someone to become a designer. What you need is:
Designing and pattern writing are really two very different skill-sets – coming up with the design idea is mostly artistic, and producing the pattern is mostly technical.
I’m not saying this to discourage you! If you do come up with an original idea, try to make notes as you crochet it and see how you go
As with most things in life, a bit of skill and a lot of determination and practice will take you most of the way there – good luck!

Hi June,
I bought your book, The Complete Idiot’s to Amigurumi. I have learned many tips and tricks and, overall, I think it is a very good book. I was very disappointed in one aspect of it, however. I wrongly assumed that the book would include the patterns for the creatures that were pictured–in fact, that is why I bought the book. I was so disappointed to find out that only a few patterns were included and I would have to purchase the rest from your website. I should have looked more carefully at the book when I was in the bookstore. I am now searching for a book that includes patterns. Do you have one of those or do I have to purchase each one separately? Thank you for your response.

Thank you for sharing your patterns. I run a non-profit group at Leath Correctional Institution for Women. We crochet blankets, toys, hats, scarves, etc. for foster children. We only receive donations in yarn/plastic crochet hooks and I have to download free patterns for the inmates to use to make items for the kids. Wish I could leave a donation, but I wanted to know that we were using your patterns to give back to the community and specifically foster children.

Nicole, I’m afraid I’m not very familiar with shops in Cape Town yet. If I were you, I’d try phoning any craft or scrapbooking shops to ask if they carry it. Good luck!
