  • Rose & Reverie Poncho

    09/04/2026 Crochet Pattern by Hands of Zeal Skill Level: Easy Materials Alpaccino Yarn: 2 balls of each variegated color J/6.0mm crochet hook Yarn needle Scissors 2 stitch markers Blocking mat and pins Abbreviations Ch - chain Sk - skip Sc - single crochet Dc - double crochet Tr - triple crochet Dec - decrease Cl - cluster stitch Yarn over and insert your hook into the chosen stitch or chain space. Yarn over, insert hook in the space or stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops (1 unfinished double crochet made; 2 loops left on hook). Repeat the above steps two more times in the exact same stitch or space. You will have 3 unfinished double crochets and 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops at once to close the cluster. Measurements Before blocking, one side of your piece should measure about 30” from the top corner down to the center. After blocking it will be about 32.5”. The finished, blocked piece measures 40” across at the widest part of the piece when laying flat. From the top center of the neck down the button center is 30”. Notes The poncho is worked in two pieces - one front and one back piece that are identical. The triangular pieces are worked from the top down, getting larger as each row increases. If you are using two colors like in this pattern: When switching colors, there is no need to cut your yarn, just drop the color you are using and add the next color. You will switch every third row so you can just carry your yarn up the side. After both pieces are completed, I recommend blocking them and then assembling. To assemble, whip stitch the tops of the triangular pieces together where the shoulders are, leaving an opening for the neckline. Then you will add the neckline, which is a series of decreasing rows. Then you will add a simple bottom border. *Please be mindful of recognizing your stitches when going through the pattern. *Move stitch marker up every row.

  • Moss & Stone Shawl

    10/01/2026 Crochet Pattern by Hands of Zeal Skill level: Easy Simple, modern, and effortlessly elegant, the Moss & Stone Shawl is a beginner-friendly design that makes a beautiful addition to any wardrobe. The long rectangular shape allows you to wear it traditionally as a shawl or style it as a scarf, making it a versatile piece for any season. The pattern uses the same stitch repeat throughout, creating a relaxing and rhythmic project that is easy to follow while still producing a sophisticated finished look. Veluna is a premium 100% superwash merino fine wool that gives the shawl an incredibly soft and luxurious feel. Its beautiful hand-dyed colors add an artisanal quality to the finished piece and allow the simple stitch pattern to really shine. Blocking is highly recommended for this project. Blocking opens up the stitches and, especially with this design, adds noticeable length and width to the finished shawl, helping you achieve the beautiful drape and dimensions intended for the pattern.

Using sewing pins, center Rnd. 1 of the shank (Part 1) over Rnd. 1 to 3 of the webbed foot (Part 3). The right side of the foot ruffle should face toward the shank. With a tapestry needle and using the remaining front loops of Rnd. 2 of the shank, sew it firmly in place. BONNET HAT In color Pink Pepper (Amigurumi Slim #7078) and a 2.0 mm crochet hook. The bonnet hat will be worked in four parts. Note: Although the bonnet hat is crocheted with Amigurumi Slim yarn, to make the piece softer, use the same hook size used for the body.

Stitches are worked around both sides of the foundation chain. Rnd. 1: start in the second ch from the hook, 32 sc, 3 sc into the last st. Continue on the other side of the foundation chain, [2 hdc, 1 hdc-inc] x 10, 1 hdc, 1 inc (78). Rnd. 2: 1 inc, 31 sc, 3 inc, 1 sc, [4 hdc, 1 hdc-inc] x 7, 4 hdc, 1 sc, 2 inc (91). Rnd. 3: 1 sc, 1 inc, 31 sc, [1 sc, 1 inc] x 3, 2 sc, 45 hdc, 1 sc, [1 sc, 1 inc] x 2 (97). Work 1 sc to shift the end of the last round. Don’t fasten off. Now, we'll join the brim to the base of the hat. Position the brim (Part 2) around the base (Part 1), keeping the wrong side of the brim facing outward and the right side of the brim facing the right side of the base. Align the first st of Rnd. 10 of the base with the next free st of the brim. This will be the starting point for joining. When the two parts are overlapped, you will see four visible loops (two from the base and two from the brim). Working only through the outer loops of each part and always inserting the hook from the inside of the base toward the outside of the brim, join the pieces by working 35 sc. Don’t fasten off. Note: When inserting the hook, make sure you are picking up only the outer loops, and be careful not to skip stitches while joining. The remaining inner loops will not be worked and will be visible once the brim is turned out, creating the detail of the hat. The join will be located on the inside of the hat. With the base joined to the brim, turn the brim right side out. We will now work the finishing round around the entire edge of the hat. Rnd. 4: without turning the piece, return to the brim and 1 sc into the first free st after the join (this corresponds to the 37th st of Rnd. 3 of the brim). Place a stitch marker in this st (Marker A). Continue working [ch 2, 1 slst] x 60, then ch 2, 1 sc. Place a stitch marker in this last st (Marker B). Next, return to the base of the hat and work 7 slst to complete the round. Note: If your st are very loose and you prefer a firmer edge on the brim, work only ch 1 instead of ch 2 in the repeat sequence, or use a one-size smaller crochet hook while working around the brim. Invisible fasten off and weave in the yarn end. PART 3 – BOW Ch 22. Ensure the chain isn't twisted, then insert the hook into the first ch. Join the foundation chains with 1 slst to form a ring. Continue working in a spiral. Rnd. 1–2 (2 ROUNDS): [1 sc, 2 hdc, 3 dc, 2 hdc, 1 sc, 2 slst] x 2 (22). Invisible fasten off and weave in the yarn end. PART 4 – BOW TIES AND LEGS Leaving approx. 4.72 in (12 cm) of yarn tail at the beginning, ch 13. Tie 1: starting in the second ch from the hook and, working only into the back bumps of the ch, make 12 slst, ch 11. Don’t fasten off. Leg 1: return to the fourth ch from the hook and, working only into the back bumps of the ch, make 2 tr, 2 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc, ch 11. Don’t fasten off. Leg 2: return again to the fourth ch from the hook and, working only into the back bumps of the ch, make 2 tr, 2 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc, ch 13. Don’t fasten off. Tie 2: return to the second ch from the hook and, working only into the back bumps of the ch, make 12 slst. Fasten off, leaving approx. 4.72 in (12 cm) of yarn tail for finishing. Note: At the end, you will have an X-shaped piece. The ties will be attached to the lower part of the bonnet, and the two legs will form the ends of the bow. BONNET HAT ASSEMBLY Position Part 4 inside the bow (Part 3), with the two upper ties facing upward and the two legs facing downward. To shape the bow, use the remaining yarn tails to wrap two tight turns around the center of the bow (Part 3), passing between the upper ties and the lower legs to create the bow shape. The wraps should embrace all parts together. Then, tie a knot on the wrong side of the bow, fasten off, and weave in the yarn end. To ensure better fixation of the knot, apply a small drop of glue to the wrong side of the bow. ASSEMBLING AND FINISHING TOUCHES Embroider the bill details Using a milliner needle and 4 strands of brown embroidery thread (Maxi Mouliné #882), embroider two French knots, with three wraps each, on the upper part of the beak (the area with two small waves), between Rnd. 5 and 6, leaving 5 st of distance between them. Sew the bill to the head Using sewing pins, center the bill on the opposite side of the start of the rounds, over Rnd. 9 and 12, covering 6 st in width. With a tapestry needle, sew it firmly in place. Gently shape the bill with your fingers so it curves slightly. Embroider the eyes and eyelashes Using a crewel needle and 1 strand of brown embroidery thread (Maxi Mouliné #882), embroider the eyes and eyelashes over Rnd. 8 and 9. Each eye should be approx. 4 st in width and just over 1 round in height, leaving 8 st of distance between them, and placed 1 st away from the bill. Sew the wings to the sides of the body Using sewing pins, position the wings on the sides of the body, slightly angled, between Rnd. 24 and 35, keeping the magic ring area facing upward and the ruffles facing downward. Keep a distance of 18 st, counted on Rnd. 32, between the wings across the belly area. The pointier parts of the wings, located in the ruffled section, should face toward the back. Using a tapestry needle, sew firmly only the top and the rounded edge of the wing that faces the belly. The back edge of the wing may be left unsewn. Sew the legs to the body Using sewing pins, position the legs on both sides of the front part of the body, between Rnd. 35 and 38, leaving a distance of 11 st between them, counted on the front of the body on Rnd. 36. The webbed feet should be pointing upward, with the soles facing forward. Using a tapestry needle, sew firmly in place. If necessary, add fiberfill to the leg before finishing the sewing.Note: Before sewing, check that the piece sits properly with the body and the heels touching the surface. Adjust the position of the legs, if necessary, to ensure balance. If you wish, apply blush to the cheeks. Stiffen the bow legs To keep the bow legs straight and firm, apply a small drop of fabric glue or fabric stiffener to the wrong side of the legs. Attach the bow ties to the bonnet hat This piece can easily be assembled inside out (with the wrong side of the bow facing outward once the hat is worn). To ensure correct positioning, it is recommended to place the bonnet on the Mama Duck’s head first and define the sewing points with the hat already positioned. Using a tapestry needle and a piece of Pink Pepper yarn (Amigurumi Slim #7078), attach the bow ties as follows: · The right tie (when the piece is viewed from the front) should be sewn immediately next to the last sc of Rnd. 4 of the brim, where Marker B was placed, right at the corner formed by the join between the brim and the base. Place the bonnet on the head and then proceed to sew the left tie. · The left tie should be sewn on the opposite side of the bonnet, immediately next to the first sc worked along Rnd. 4 of the brim, where Marker A was placed, right at the corner formed by the join between the brim and the base. Note: The bonnet hat is not intended to be removable, although it can be placed on and taken off the head. THE MAMA DUCK IS READY!
