Thandi the African Flower Rhino Crochet Pattern is available!

Hi everyone :)
I am immensely happy and proud to have finished my rhino pattern and it is now available to buy on Ravelry, Craftsy and Etsy.

Thandi is the eighth of my patterns that makes use of the African Flower hexagon crochet motif and variations thereof, joined in a specific order to make a recognizable 3D item. I love this African Flower pattern and the creative possibilities of using it to make 3D items She’s also an excellent stash buster project, as you only need to use very small amounts of leftover sock yarn to make a motif.

Thank you very much for all your support folks! I appreciate each person who has kindly bought a pattern!

He is made from various colors of sock weight yarn, and is 27cmx28cm in size.

:: Pigwig the Piglet Knitting Pattern ::


Hi everyone!
I am so excited to reveal my latest pattern.....Welcome.... Pigwig! 

Pigwig is a girl piglet, who is dressed in her prettiest frock and shoes, with stripy stockings...she is knitted, virtually seamlessly, with only the smallest seam on her body and two small seams on her dress.

She stands around 30cm tall if knitted in the recommended yarns...


 I have enjoyed creating this little piglet very much, and have tried to make the pattern clear, using many photos and step by step directions...I really hope you will have fun knitting her :)



 I am running a Pigwig KAL on my Heidi Bears Designs Ravelry Group, so if you would like to join in, please post on the thread...it can be found here



The pattern costs USD 6.00 and can be bought in my Ravelry Shop.

I look forward to meeting you in the KAL!
Happy Knitting!
