Getting ahead 🎄


Hi Reader,

The summer holidays are looming, it's almost July and I'm trying to get organised ready for the busy season!

This year I'm properly leaning into Christmas in July (I know, I know, it might feel impossible to start thinking about Christmas now - but from a crochet perspective it totally makes sense!)

Over the next month, I'll be sharing on email and on my socials lots of different Christmas patterns, so you can plan and get started on those gifts and decorations before it's too late!

So to get the ball rolling, today I'd like to introduce you to the Poinsettia Tree! 🌲

The Poinsettia Tree is a modern take on festive crochet, combining a simple cone shape with beautiful floral detail to create a striking Christmas decoration.

It's a:

  • Quick make - perfect for making in the heat
  • Striking floral detail
  • Ideal for gifting or homemade centrepieces

You can grab the pattern on Etsy or Ravelry now.

This pattern will also be part of the Christmas in July blog hop, which you can find out about here.

Hi Reader, I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the Spring Landscapes crochet pattern so far. It’s been so nice seeing new motifs going up on the blog each day, and I’ve really loved spotting your makes starting to appear too.
