Pretty pastel snails have been proliferating at Conker Corner recently as I’ve given my popular snail crochet pattern a refresh. The crochet pattern itself hasn’t changed, but I’ve brought the pattern documents up to date with my current layout and style for maximum readability and clarity.
Cheval Set Crochet Pattern
Waaaaaay back in autumn 2020, I designed a crochet pattern for a cheval set. This is a set of pretty mats or doilies – traditionally a larger oval mat and two or more smaller round mats – that were used on a dressing table to protect it from jars, perfume bottles, brushes, etc, and toRead more ⟶

So next off my hook have beenRead more ⟶

Zig-Zag Crochet Blanket
