Team PlanetJune - Ravellenic Games Laurels

Instructions +

How to enter the Ravellenic Games

Overview

Make any PlanetJune pattern between Feb 6 and Feb 22 2026. (This includes patterns from PlanetJune, or from any of June's books: The Essential Guide to Amigurumi, Everyday Crochet, Idiot's Guides: Crochet or The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amigurumi.)
Choose the event for your project (and laurels, if you want) and submit a photo of your finished object together with a list of the event and any laurels you qualify for. Your project will be added to the gallery in the next award ceremony!
IMPORTANT: For the full Ravellenic Games experience, don't forget to also post your project to the Team PJ thread and cross the finish line in the official Ravellenic Games group on Ravelry so you'll be awarded your official medal - only the laurels are Team PlanetJune awards. If you can't/don't use Ravelry, you can still participate by entering here - you won't receive medals from Ravelry, but you'll still earn Team PJ laurels for your projects!
Repeat for your next project - how many can you complete in the 2 weeks of the games??

How to Participate

Submit each finished project through the online form as you complete it. I'll award your laurels and add your projects to the gallery!

Submit your projects here >>

For the fullest experience, join in the fun in one of the PlanetJune Community groups. Look for the Ravellenic Games 2026 thread on Ravelry or the #rav-games-2026 channel on Discord.

Ravellenic Games Laurels

Bead Laurel: Any item that contains beads, sequins, or other non-yarn-based decorative bits qualifies here.
Cable Laurel: Making a Diamond Lattice Neckwarmer or Cozy Cables Earwarmer gets you this laurel :) Also any items made using the textured stitch patterns in EC/IGC.
Charity Laurel: Any item made for and donated to (or sold for the money to be donated) a charitable organization will qualify here.
Colorwork Laurel: PJ items with colourwork throughout, so patterns that use multiple colour changes throughout the project. (There are too many to list, so just ask us to weigh in if you're not sure if your project counts for this one!)
Dyeing Laurel: Did you hand-dye the yarn for your PJ project? You get this laurel!
Frogging Laurel: Got an old finished or unfinished project that you don't need any more? Frog (unravel) it and use the reclaimed yarn for a new project, and you'll get this laurel!
Lace Laurel: PlanetJune Accessories or EC/IGC lace patterns (shawls, wraps etc) - patterns with intentional holes count here. Also any items made using the lacy stitch patterns in EC/IGC.
Single skein Laurel: Any item crafted which uses no more than a single skein of yarn (but it has to use almost all of the skein).
Stash Laurel: Using up yarn that you've had for 6 months or longer? You get this laurel! (Note: WIPs event projects can't qualify for the stash laurel.)
Tunisian Laurel: Making a Tunisian Stripe Purse gets you this laurel :)

Bonus Team PJ Laurels

Crochet In Public laurel for crocheting your project in public, with pics to prove it.
Embellishments laurel for adding non-crochet finishing touches (e.g. felt, fabric, paint, needlefelt...) or crocheted embellishments.
Endeavour laurel is a special laurel for those of us who try our best but don’t quite get to the finish line. Getting started can be a big step, and that’s worth celebrating too! (Please post a photo of your unfinished project at the end of the games so we don't miss awarding you for your efforts!)
Modifications laurel for making your own tweaks to the base PlanetJune pattern or for combining multiple patterns into one project (wreaths, garlands, mobiles, multiple plant pots, etc).
Patternsweep laurel for using a PJ pattern that you've owned for over a year (tip: check 'My Patterns' in your PlanetJune account to find the date of your order!)

Multiple Project Laurels

You'll be awarded these laurels automatically as you earn them - no need to request them. You'll see these below your username in the Gallery below.
