ReplyDeletei used light weight yarn... but you can use any yarn you like
DeleteHi, Do you do any video tutorials for your beautiful work. I am new to crochet and though I can copy and make things watching on Youtube I am still unable to read crochet instructions. I would love to make this Dragonfly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I don't want to comment as Anonymous but don't have much choice here and I am new to all this so don't know what to do. I have liked your 'page' Zan Crochet from my fb account. Monica.
ReplyDeleteHi Monica, I am sorry i don't have video tutorial for my pattern... I am sorry i can not help you...
DeleteThe upper wings in the picture seem to have 15 rows, the bottom ones 11.
ReplyDeleteWhen I follow the pattern, they look much smaller... and less like dragonfly wings.
Is the pattern wrong or am I?
yes... you're right... i think i missed some rows... i am sorry for this.. i will edit the pattern.. i thought that i saw the wrong note when i wrote this pattern...
DeleteI can't wait to try this pattern
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. It's very easy, explained very well and lovely too :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat size do these end up being? They are so cute, I'm going to have to browse through you patterns. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so very much in love with this pattern! Dragonflies have a very special meaning to me. I am going to make a dragonfly mobile and hang it in my kitchen... As my walls are covered in dragonflies! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You do amazing work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for this lovely pattern. I have just used my 2mm hook for the first time in 36 years! Very very chuffed with the result. Much love xx
