This is not a crochet blog
Back to basic, to create something wearable. A crocheted item for people who do not like crocheted items. A handmade hat that doesn’t look handmade. Perfect fit. That was the goal. A hat that keeps you warm and is usable every day. It all started with a simple need. I needed a […]
So here are the happy news. I am now officially a SCHEEPJES blogger. It is an honor, a privilege and a pleasure to be part of the gang. I feel like the little kid who has the opportunity to play with the squad of Barcelona F.C. or Manchester United, the amateur who all of a... Continue Reading →
I started this blanket straight after I finished the first “One Step Beyond” blanket . I chose different colours but i stuck with the Scheepjes Cahlista because I Think it is by far the best choice for this blanket. The goal was to create a colour combination that looks like vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.... Continue Reading →
So here is the thing... I did not keep the blog super updated all the time. In fact I think blogging is kind of annoying and I know that most of you people are not here to read about my personal stories. You are here to get a free pattern, right? So I will just... Continue Reading →
Hi again, It was a while ago that I updated this blog. Time is tight when you are a father of two wild daughters. Finally I found the time to write the final pattern in the "Nomad by Fate" series.

I was asked if it would be ok for me if a square inspired by my design would be released. I was deeply honoured and of course I... Continue Reading →
After I released the The “Nomad by Fate” triangle wrap quite a lot of people asked for a blanket/square version. I was sure that it was easy to adapt but in the end I realised, that I had to write a whole new pattern, even if the graphical pattern is the same. So this took... Continue Reading →
I always wanted to make a triangle wrap/shawl but never had a good-enough idea to do so. When I crocheted the The Move On Up Wrap based on the apache tears by Sarah London , I noticed that the lines which meet in the middle would make imho the perfect border for a triangle. I... Continue Reading →
A while ago I stumbled over the fantastic patterns of Maliha Design. I instantly bought her fantastic Walk in Woods pattern. The pictures were great and I was really looking forward to crochet this pattern. I was so blown away that I did not even realize, that it was a knitting pattern. I am not... Continue Reading →
