First I would like to say thank you to all of you that sent me a response to my previous newsletter! It means the world to me and I try to respond to every single one! Thank you for all of your kindness and support! I’m going to listen to all of you and just ignore the mean trolls online!

I have put together a small challenge for you! A MYSTERY pattern! Can you make it? Email me your finished make to win a 3 month subscription to the new digital Crochet magazine The Hook Up!

The winner will be selected by lottery between every correct version* sent in so no matter your skill level everybody has equal opportunity.

Already signed up for The Hook Up Insider? No worries, any winner already subscribed will be gifted a free extension of their subscription!

Simply reply to this email by August 10 with your picture or email me directly at [email protected]

*The finished item has to resemble the original creation, meaning it can’t just be a flat round circle 😀

By sending me your picture you grant me permission to share your picture in the magazine and in newsletter (of course with credit to you)

Small amount of chenille yarn in any color (I used white)
A tiny bit of pink chenille yarn
4,5mm crochet hook
Safety eyes 7mm or a small amount of black yarn to embroider eyes
Fiber fill
Tapestry needle

mr - magic ring
sc - single crochet
inc - 2 single crochets worked into the same stitch
sc2tog - 2 single crochets made 1 (decrease)
4 dc BO - Bobble made with 4 dc
3 dc BO - Bobble made with 3 dc
FLO - Working in the front loop only

The bobble is made by doing the following: Yarn over, insert hook into next st, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over, pull through two loops (basically completing half the double crochet)

*Yarn over, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through two loops (basically completing half the double crochet)* repeat until you have either 3 or 4 half finished double crochets on your hook depending on the bobble you are making. Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook.

The pattern is worked in continuous rounds and I am not going to say very much more since it’s a mystery pattern 😉

If you missed it! By upgrading to The Hook Up insider you’ll receive my new premium snow leopard pattern! And right now you can subscribe for one month for only $6.30 (cancel any time). Subscribing will also give you access to all patterns I have ever created. AND the first issue of The Hook Up sent straight to your inbox on August 29!

All for a lesser price than the Snow leopard pattern would have cost!
