We'll be updating this page regularly but if you have any patterns you've made yourself, we'd love to share them here too.
Boho Spirit Luna Scarf
Cygnets Luna scarf is a simple pattern making it a great project for those new to crochet and will no doubt transform any outfit with the cool Boho colours.
The finished scarf measures 16cm x 150cm but you can double the width if you'd prefer it to be more summer shawl rather than winter scarf.

Baby Cardigan and Bonnet
There's no denying it, you can't beat knitted clothes for babies. They wash better, they last longer and they're cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Not only that, they're far more cost effective.
