by

Welcome to the world of crochet! Are you ready to add a touch of floral fun to your baby’s playtime? Look no further than this delightful crochet pattern for a Floral Fun Crochet Motif Ball Toy. This unique design features three-dimensional flowers that will bring a pop of garden charm to your child’s playtime.

Made up of 12 individual pentagon pieces that fit together seamlessly, this crochet ball is not only fun but also a great way to improve your crochet skills. The colorful motifs are worked in the round and then joined together using a flat slip stitch to create a ball that is perfect for keeping your toddler entertained while also stimulating their developing senses.

The pattern calls for the use of 2 Bernat Baby Blankets, which allows you to play with 6 stimulating colors for your child. The soft and cushy ball is perfect for babies and toddlers to play with. The Bernat Baby Blanket yarn is also a great choice because it is made of 100% polyester, making it easy to care for and durable enough to withstand the rough and tumble play of a young child.

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
