 |
Shamrocks This is a clever little pattern to make sweet shamrocks with a dimensional 3D effect, in two sizes: a realistically-shaped design, and a tiny miniature version! Each shamrock is crocheted in a single round, so you can make one in minutes. String them into a garland, attach one to a greetings card, add a pin back to make a cute brooch or lapel pin, or layer them for a novel look. |
 |
Chunky Moebius Cowl This unisex cowl pattern is infinitely versatile: make it as a short, snug neckwarmer, or a long loose infinity scarf that can be wrapped twice around your neck; make a narrow cowl for warmer days or to wear doubled, or a tall snuggly cowl for maximum warmth. With simple stitches and no turning or seaming, this pattern is amazingly fast to work up using a large crochet hook and bulky yarn, so it’s perfect for last-minute gifts. |
 |
Frosty Windows Scarf With a pretty but easy-to-memorise stitch pattern, you can work up this scarf in almost any yarn. Once you’ve crocheted a couple of repeats, you’ll fly through it – it’s a perfect pattern for handmade gifts or for stashbusting! |
 |
Posy Blossoms A versatile mix-and-match pattern for sweet miniature flowers in seven designs with two leaves. Make each blossom in one or two colours of your choice; stack the smaller blossoms on the larger ones in the same or contrasting colours; combine your blossoms into a unique posy. |
 |
Lip Balm Holder Never lose your lip balm again (or have it melt in your pocket) with this stylish holder! Clip it to your keyring, to your bag, or even to your belt loop and you’ll always have lip balm at hand when you need it. Quick and easy to crochet, just pop a lip balm inside and you have a perfect little gift! |
 |
Eyelet Ripple Scarf Sweater This scarf sweater is so simple – it’s just a long rectangle like a scarf, wrapped around the body and seamed in 2 places. With my measure-as-you-go method, you can easily create a scarf sweater to fit any size and body shape. Use the included Eyelet Ripple stitch pattern to make one just like mine, or use any other crochet (or knitted) stitch pattern to create your own uniquely customized version! |
 |
Amigurumi Pears A realistic, beautifully shaped amigurumi pear. Crochet a bowlful in greens, browns, yellows, and/or reds, to make a stylish decorative centrepiece, or add a pair of safety eyes and an embroidered smile to make a sweet toy  |
 |
Plumeria Crochet a touch of the tropics with these exotic plumeria blossoms. Use a plumeria flower to make a beautiful pin or hair accessory, or to embellish anything! |
 |
Love Hearts This is a clever little pattern to make sweet hearts in three sizes – each heart builds on the pattern of the previous heart. You can also make a bonus puffy heart to give a total of 4 different designs in this one pattern! 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. |
 |
Scalloped Scarf Make this pretty and versatile scalloped scarf with almost any yarn you have to hand – it’s a quick and stylish one-skein project, and makes a perfect gift! |
 |
Amigurumi Apples Here’s a realistic amigurumi apple: it’s not just a ball with a stalk attached, it’s actually the shape and size of a real apple! Give one to your (or your child’s!) favourite teacher, make a bowlful in red and green as a decorative centrepiece, or add a pair of safety eyes and an embroidered smile to make a sweet-as-apple-pie toy |
 |
Amigurumi Balloons What better way to celebrate than with a bunch of balloons? Made in pastels like these, they’d be perfect for baby shower decorations or for Easter. Made in bolder colours, they’d brighten any occasion! |
 |
Tiny Whale This little whale is the perfect size to sit in the palm of your hand! But even better than that: he’s crocheted all in one piece, so there’s no sewing involved to make him! |
 |
Basic Rose This basic rose pattern is a perfect introduction to crocheted flowers, and it’s so versatile – make it in any size and colour you like! |
 |
Mop Top Mascots Mop Top Mascots are a fun way to use up scraps of yarn. They stand about 4″ tall, and the real joy of them is that they are so easy to make, and easy to customize with funky colours or embellishments. Who wouldn’t appreciate a little mascot like these?! |
 |
Candy Cane This candy cane crochet pattern is so fast and simple, it’ll take no time to whip up enough to decorate your Christmas tree! |
   |
Pumpkin Crochet yourself a pumpkin – the perfect pattern for autumn! With this one basic pattern, you can create a realistic pumpkin for your Fall table, a cute amigurumi-style pumpkin for the kids, or a spooooooooooooooky pumpkin for Halloween. |
 |
Daffodils Crochet your own daffodils – perfect for spring! Make a bouquet of yarn flowers, or try one in thread as a beautiful pin or accessory. The pattern includes two different designs for petals and centres – mix and match colours and designs to create your own custom bouquet! |
 |
Christmas Pudding Hang it on your Christmas tree, or sit it on your mantelpiece or as a decoration on your Christmas table! This amigurumi xmas pudding pattern comes complete with white sauce and is topped with a spring of holly leaves and berries. |
 |
Poinsettia Crochet a large poinsettia flower for Christmas – perfect as a table centrepiece or as a decoration. Or make a smaller one in fine yarn or thread to wear as a pin on your coat, a Christmas tree decoration, or anything else you can think of! |
 |
Amigurumi Acorn Make your own amigurumi acorn complete with removable cup! Standing at just over 2 inches tall, these litle acorns are quick and easy to make. |
 |
Fuzzballs and Mini Fuzzballs Fuzzballs are the ultimate in easy and cute crochet, and a perfect way to use up any scraps of fun fur, eyelash or any other fuzzy yarn you may have on hand. These tiny amigurumi are crocheted in fuzzy yarn and come in two sizes: Fuzzball and Fuzzball Mini. Let your imagination run wild as you embellish these little cuties! |

Sally said
Hi June
Thanks for all the tips and patterns, these are so good and clear. Just finished the whale in blue Lyscordet with a 1.75mm hook and just under 4.5cm long. Must be the smallest whale in the world!!!!!
Thanks again Sally
Kaleena said
Thank you June for all the wonderful patterns!
I am gong to start on the flowers right away!
Suzanne Alexander said
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!

June said
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

Vickie said
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)!!!!

Hi Vickie,
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!
June
Vickie said
Yes it also goes by Tunisian Crochet, forgot to add that…thanks for replying. Look forward to hearing from you in the future.
June said
Ah, now I have tried Tunisian Crochet – only once though (http://www.planetjune.com/blog/tunisian-scarflet-finished/) – I’d definitely be interested in doing more!

Thank you so much for the Magic Ring tutorial after going through 10 different books at the library and banging my head on the desk finally finally finally it makes sense and my rings come out perfect everytime!
Bonnie Thomas said
There is so much ugly, old-fashion crochet that gives the art a bad reputation. Thanks for fresh, unique and up-to-date ideas. You give crochet a better future!

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
June said
Hi Fiona! I’m glad you’ve found my magic ring tutorial useful, but I can’t take the credit for the ‘Graduation Owl’ you made – it’s not one of my designs
I hope you’ll enjoy my patterns too!

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
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
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
Lucky said
Just wanted to say thank you for all your help and inspiration! My brother loved his Discworld. I’ve emailed you some pictures so you can see my attempt
Thanks again!
Lucky

Ann Ray said
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
June said
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, I think you’ve got a great blog & i’ve just put a link on my site for your site. You can check it out at Crocheting Instructions: http://www.crochetinginstructions.org
Myrian Primera said
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,
June said
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.
