I just love to make little bears. I guess this is the most beloved toy among the crocheted amigurumis. They are so sweet and you want to hug them all day long. I have been crocheting bears forever. But only a year ago I started to write patterns for them. The first one - Magnus bear - was released in autumn and a week ago I published the pattern of Rikki bear with the heart. And I also decided to write a separate free pattern of the heart.
Dandelion is probably one of the most common flowers. I cannot say about the whole world but at least in the Czech Republic everyone knows what dandelions look like. I find something magic and very attractive about them. They are very simple, but they have a deep meaning and are used in many ways. They are symbolic of positivity, progress and survival.
I decided to design a mandala pattern in Overlay crochet which could remind me of dandelions. I could have used green, yellow and white to make it more realistic. But then it would be too obvious. And instead I chose the colors which reflected my mood in the best way at that moment. Even today my husband insists this mandala is not a dandelion, but I don’t even want to listen to him!

I have a small present for you. If you’ve already checked my Free patterns section you could notice there was one new pattern added there. I am very proud it was chosen as an exclusive design for the Crochet Café for March 2015. But now it is also available as a free download on my blog.
For a long time I have been dreaming to design a crocheted bracelet with mandala. I saw so many leather cuffs and I liked them so much that I decided “to steal” the idea and to implement it in crochet. As a result I’ve created a series of three mandala cuffs. They all have the same construction: a circle medallion as a centre piece and wide band. I decided to make a closure with a button so that the length of bracelet could be adjustable for different sizes of wrists. All bracelets are made in overlay crochet and offer and excellent chance to try this technique.
