I have found so many beautiful free crochet patterns on the Net that I simply have to share them with you. This one is an Irish Rose Crochet Doily and although the original pattern had 10 flowers all in one colour, my mom made them each in a different colour. Feel free to experiment and work in various colours to come up with a combination that you love or simply stick to one colour. Either way this rose doily looks super. If you like it, you can make it yourself; you can find the instructions for the pattern here.

Translation of Spanish crochet terms to English

Ever wondered what punto bajo or punto alto meant when you were doing a crochet pattern in Spanish?
Punto bajo or pb is actually an sc in US terms or a dc in UK terms. Punto alto is a dc in US terms or a treble in UK terms. I have done quite a few Spanish amigurumi patterns so I thought this conversion from Spanish to English of crochet terms would help you as well. And although I have not yet attempted the German, Italian or french crochet patterns I have put it down here for future reference for me or any of my readers who might like to do so in the future.

The Spanish amigurumi patterns that I have used include Winnie the Pooh and Doraemon.

Baby booties free crochet pattern

Free crochet pattern for baby booties

My sister's friend is expecting a baby and so my sis has been experimenting with crochet booties. She came upon this crochet booties pattern and worked it out in white first and then tried adding some pink for a baby girl. You could also use blue instead of pink if it's a baby boy you are crocheting the booties for. Or if you do not know whether it is going to be a baby boy or a baby girl you could stick to a neutral colour like pastel yellow, purple or green.
