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! |

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.

Hi there please can you tell me where I can get ink jet shrinky dink plastic in Capetown?
many thanks for reading
June said
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!
None said
You can also use recycling code 6 plastics and styrofoam from take out containers and/or product packaging. Cut your shapes, use permanent markers to draw/write what you’d like on them, then put them on a parchment paper/foil lined cookie sheet and pop them into a 350*F preheated oven for about 30 seconds. They’ll curl and wiggle all aroundlike crazy, but don’t take them out until they quit wiggling and lay mostly flat again.
Kristen said
I can verify that comment on the recyclables being useable in this manner. That commenter has more info on the specifics than I could remember but I do recall the clear plastic tops off of yogurt cups years ago worked great for my mother and I. If nothing else it’s worth experimenting with to see if you like the results. You’re out nothing and I rather liked using that plastic more sometimes because I got a more glassy looking charm at the end than the sometimes milky look of the shrinky dinks from the store.
I’m new to amigurumi and I’ve been loving you’re helpful website and videos! Thanks June!
Cheers!
Linda said
Check on pinterest – you can make shrinky dinks by using #6 recycleable plastic containers. You can also order on-line from several sites.
Diana Roberson said
Hi June! I love your patterns and tutorials. You are very talented. I am just starting out with my blog. I’m unsure exactly what is acceptable so I wanted to ask you this question. I am planning to do a blog post about free patterns I like by other bloggers and I was wondering if I could link to your free balloon pattern on your website from my blog. Thank you!
June said

Sandy said
Hi June, First off let me say I love you site and your work. Can’t believe I hadn’t found you before. I am writing because your lip balm holders look a lot like something I make for my daughter and her friends. They are in college and use highlighters all the time. My daughter ask me to make a necklace to hold the highlighters and now everyone is wearing them, even the guys. I wish I could send you a picture.
Aly Casilla said
I find your page and your work very amusing and inspiring.

O seu espaço é maravilhoso !!!
Estou adorando todas as coisas.
Encomendei o seu livro na livraria Cultura (São Paulo – Brasil), pois não tenho cartão de crédito, então pela livraria eu pude pagar por boleto.
Deus continue abençoar sua criatividade.
Mary Ruiz said
Dear June,
I was wondering if you could give us some easy patterns for my Girl Scout troop! A cookie box or cookie pattern would be perfect for us!!
June said
Hi Mary, I’m afraid I can’t take on commission work without payment. I suggest you look at Ravelry – they have a huge database of pattern links and you can search for free cookie patterns there
maryam said

LOVE THESE ITEMS ALL ARE GREAT THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE PATTERNS DOT
Alexis said
Hey June, I was wondering how much yarn do you need for these cafts? Do you have any yarn I can buy here, at your website? I hope you do. I am almost 11 and need ideas!!!
June said
Alexis, apart from the scarves, all my patterns take much less than a skein of yarn (in each colour). Each scarf gives the approximate quantity needed in the pattern. I don’t sell yarn – I suggest you visit your local craft or yarn store and pick out some that you like!
Leah said
June, what fun! You just taught me to make the crocheted I-cord and I love it! In case you’re interested, I happened on your site via a link on Pinterest. Now I’m off to explore the rest of it. Thank you very much! Btw, you are an excellent tutor, I got it right away even though I can be a bit thick sometimes.

Dalia said
I love these patterns!
They´re beautiful and I wonder, how much time you needed to be so good in crocheting??
(Excuse me for mistakes, I´m from Germany, 14 and don´t speak much English, but I want to learn!)
June said
I’ve been crocheting since 2003, Dalia, but you can go from picking up a crochet hook for the first time to making your first amigurumi in only days (or even hours!). Good luck with learning to crochet – I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Take a look at the Basics and Amigurumi Essentials sections of my crochet tutorials list for help
Gisele said
Hi,
Those itty bitty fuzzballs would be useful attached to drinks at a party or family gathering to distinguish them. A person only has to remember which critter is on their beverage. They would be an alternative to “drink tags”. They would also be adorable attached to slippers, or as a zipper pull, or attached to a gift tag. Adorable.

Hi i was wondering if you could have a free patern for a dog. i would really appreciate it thanks.
Debbie said
Hi,
I just wants to say that I made the balloons for my daughter’s baby shower,and they were a hit! Thanks for a great pattern
Cloversmile said
I absolutely love your patterns! I would just like to suggest that you should have free days, when a few paid patterns become free for a day. (I don’t like paying for patterns)

Oh my goodness, you have such beautiful patterns, and you are so talented.
Mauri R said
My Amis appear to come out larger than the patterns and some areas have larger holes . I think this is where I decrease. I use a very small hook. Any suggestions?
I love this hobby. Thank you for the great tutorials and inspiring work
Mauri r
June said
Mauri, I highly recommend the invisible decrease technique – it should eliminate your problem with holes around your decreases.
Judy said
Hi my name is judy and my granddaughter wants me to crochet her a platypus and your pattern is the only one I have found that I like I need to know how to get the instructions for it. Please let me know if you can help me with this.
June said
Hi Judy, you can find my Platypus pattern here in my shop

I have only just started crochet but I love it. I tryed your tiny whale but it went wrong
( not your fault). I was wondering were you can buy the eyes in the uk or an online uk site as I would love some but need to pay in pounds.
June said
Izzy, see my Eye Sources page for a few options
