New pattern: Spring Caterpillar

Press and Publications of hookabee crochetMy most recent pattern has been published in the digital crochet magazine Happily Hooked! You can find my cute little spring caterpillar pattern, along with the patterns for 9 additional designs by other crochet artists in the most recent issue of Happily Hooked.

I will eventually have the pattern available in my shop, but if you want it now, you can have a trial run of the magazine for only $0.99. That is a pretty good deal! I like that this magazine is digital, so you can read it on any device you have, but you can also save it to your ravelry library or download it and save it as a PDF to read later if you don’t have the time when it is first released.

You can also get a a “gold membership” to the magazine for a little extra (you can add it after you purchase a regular subscription) and you get even more free patterns and deals – including my little Bobby the Bumble Bee pattern until mid March!

The caterpillar pattern is really fun – you can use up yarn ends you have in your stash, even yarn from different brands, and your caterpillar will turn out pretty unique! While the pattern is written in joined rounds for cleaner colour changes, you can make it in continuous rounds if you prefer. The little legs are fun bobble stitches, and if you change there position each round, your caterpillar will look like it has crazy dancing legs!

I look forward to seeing lots of caterpillars come out for the spring – which I hope is on its way soon!!

Bobby the bumble bee amigurumi pattern

new pattern! titleAfter naming my business hookabee, I knew I needed to make a bee sooner rather than later, and here he is!

His name is Bobby and he is larger than life at approximately 11.5 inches long, but he is nice and cuddly, so don’t worry about him stinging anyone 🙂

I had so much fun making Bobby, and now he is my company mascot!  If you follow me on facebook, google+, or twitter, you will have already seen that I have incorporated him into all my logos and banners.  I just couldn’t wait until he was officially released!

While I have graded the pattern as intermediate, that is simply because of the the colour changes involved, otherwise he is an easy pattern to work from.  In fact, he would be a great pattern to practice your colour changes with!
