Printed Pattern Pretty Little Things 3 – Garden (Scheepjes)

The printed Pretty Little Things – Garden (Scheepjes) pattern includes three different projects that capture the essence of spring and the charm of the natural world. The first is Wobbly Beetrice, a fun amigurumi bee with a wobble base that you can place on a shelf or gift as a decorative detail. The second is the Blossom Hanger, a hanging decoration with crocheted flowers that combines a handmade feel with a natural touch, ideal for decorating doors, windows or walls. Finally, the pattern features Nico the Gnome, a crocheted gnome with an endearing expression, perfect for bringing life to corners of the home or completing a handmade garden decoration.

These three designs share inspiration from nature, a decorative character and a manageable size, making them ideal projects to complete in one or two sessions. Each has its own technique and rhythm, offering variety and value within a single booklet.

The Pretty Little Things – Garden pattern by Scheepjes is written entirely in English and Dutch, using standard abbreviations and common crochet terminology. There is no official version in other languages, and the printed booklet is only distributed in this format. However, many Spanish-speaking crocheters with basic experience in international patterns can follow it without difficulty thanks to its clear structure.

Each design is explained step by step, with precise directions and assembly suggestions. The full-colour photographs help visualise the finished result, which makes understanding easier even if you are not fully fluent in the language. It is a perfectly viable option for those used to working with English patterns or wishing to start with one at an accessible level.

Pretty Little Things – Garden is designed so it can be used by any crocheter regardless of level. It is structured to be accessible for those with a basic or intermediate crochet background. The stitches used across the three projects are simple and common in standard crochet, such as single crochet, half double crochet and colour changes. In addition, the pattern provides well-organised and visual instructions that help beginners build confidence.

For example, the flower hanger is an excellent project for beginners, as it allows practice with basic shapes and assembling small pieces. The wobbling bee may require a little more skill when building the internal structure (with pipe cleaners and a washer), but it is still suitable for a basic level. The gnome involves a bit more assembly, but does not use complex techniques or advanced decreases.

This printed pattern is therefore perfect for those who want to learn by doing, but also for more experienced crocheters seeking quick, relaxing and visually attractive projects.

All the designs in Pretty Little Things – Garden (Scheepjes) are made using Catona yarn, a mercerised cotton of light weight (fingering) that is ideal for this type of creation. The advantage of working with Catona is its wide variety of colours, allowing maximum personalisation of each piece. In addition to yarn, you will need a 2.5 mm crochet hook, stuffing for the amigurumi, and small accessories that give character and structure to the projects.

For the bee, you will need a metal washer to allow it to wobble, as well as pipe cleaners to shape the wings. The floral hanger is mounted on a natural branch and hung with thin cord, giving it a very decorative rustic touch. For the gnome, pipe cleaners, stuffing and a stitch marker are also needed to correctly follow the construction of the body and accessories.

The pattern details all the materials separately for each design, allowing you to plan each project in advance or adapt it to what you already have available.

Yes, one of the great strengths of the printed Pretty Little Things – Garden pattern is its versatility when it comes to customisation. Although the booklet provides colour and material combinations suggested by the designers, each project can be easily adapted to your preferences, to the yarns you already have at home, or to the décor of the space where you plan to place them.

For example, you can create a bee with pastel stripes, use brightly coloured flowers in the hanger for a more summery feel, or transform the gnome into a Christmas or themed figure by changing its outfit. You can also experiment with sizes by using thicker or finer yarns to vary the proportions. This flexibility makes the pattern not only creative but also functional for different seasons and styles.

Absolutely. The Pretty Little Things – Garden pattern is an ideal gift for anyone who enjoys crochet, especially if they are just starting out or looking for relaxed, pretty and well-presented projects. Its printed format makes it perfect to wrap or include in a creative basket along with Catona skeins, a 2.5 mm hook and some accessories.

In addition, the content is varied and thematic, making it suitable for both younger and adult crocheters. As it is written with clear and visual instructions and contains three different designs, it offers great value in a compact space. It is also a good choice as a treat for workshops, crochet clubs or exchanges among crafters.

Yes. The Pretty Little Things – Garden pattern is number 03 in the official Pretty Little Things collection by Scheepjes, a series of printed booklets published periodically with a carefully curated selection of three themed projects. Each issue combines amigurumi, accessories or decorations with accessible techniques and original designs, in a compact format designed for collecting or gifting.

This collection is highly appreciated both by beginners and by experienced crocheters who are looking for quick or portable projects.
