I’m so excited to share that my Pentagon Dishcloth pattern is now officially available! After weeks of designing, shaping, testing and tech editing, this colourful, practical little pattern is ready for you to bring to life in your own beautiful colour combinations πŸ’•πŸ’›πŸ’™

This design was created with scrap yarn in mind, those little leftover balls of cotton that are too good to waste. The pentagon shape gives it a modern twist, while the floral centre adds a soft, handmade charm 🌸✨ Each dishcloth grows outward in neat, textured sections, making it just as fun to crochet as it is to use.

πŸ’™ Sky & Denim Blue
πŸ’š Fresh Green
πŸ’› Sunshine Yellow
🧑 Warm Peach

One of my favourite things about this pattern is how easily you can customise it to match any kitchen, bold and vibrant, soft and pastel, or anything in between 🌈

The pattern is written in UK English and includes clear instructions, making it suitable for confident beginners through to experienced crocheters πŸ§ΆπŸ’›

🌸 Rose Gold Afghan is this week's Celebration! ✨πŸ’›

I’m so happy to bring a little spotlight back to one of my most elegant and much-loved blanket designs. The Rose Gold Afghan 🌷

 

This is one of those patterns that feels calm and comforting from the very first stitch. Soft florals, gentle repetition, and a timeless feel that makes it a joy to crochet and a pleasure to live with.

The rose motifs sit so beautifully together, creating a blanket that grows slowly and steadily, almost like a garden coming into bloom 🌸 Each section feels soothing and rhythmic, making it a wonderful project for quiet evenings, cosy weekends, and moments where you just want to relax with your hook and yarn.

One of my favourite things about this design is how versatile it is. You can keep it soft and subtle, play with colour contrasts, or add delicate gold-inspired accents around the roses for a little extra glow ✨ No matter the palette, it always feels warm, classic, and full of care.

πŸ‘‰ You can find the pattern HERE.

Whether you’re revisiting this design or discovering it for the first time, I hope it brings you the same sense of calm and joy that it’s brought to so many makers already.
