CROCHET A LITTLE LAMB
I’ve been creating beginner-friendly Youtube tutorials to teach the core crochet stitches to anyone looking to learn - little guides to help each technique feel a bit more approachable.
But once you’ve learned the stitches… what comes next?
That’s something I remember wondering myself when I first started crocheting. There are so many patterns out there, and it can be difficult to know which ones are the right next step for practising and building your skills. So this pattern was created as a gentle step forward.
The Lamb & the Mushroom Parasol brings together a variety of stitches in one piece, giving you the chance to practise what you’ve learned while creating something soft and special.
Each stitch used here is one you can revisit and build confidence with - making this pattern not just something to follow, but something to grow through.
