Bright Star, a free crochet pattern for you to enjoy.

Bright Star is a sweet and quick-to-make little crochet star created specially for my brilliant sister-in-law Xandra; because she asked if I had a pattern for a star so I made one for her.

The pattern is my gift to you which is free to download on my website.  Click the image to be taken straight there.

Wishing you lots of enjoyment making these.

New release of my cross stitch design called A Gentle Yuletide Evening


Introducing A Gentle Yuletide Evening my new cross stitch design in preparation for and in celebration of Yule.  

I loved creating this piece, and all the while I was imaging what it might be like sitting inside the cosy little cabin while the world outside is whisper-quiet in the snow.  What would you imagine the inside is like while you stitch?  Please tell me in the comments below. 

I didn’t have plans to add a reindeer but he just appeared and I’m very happy about that because he’s so adorable.  


The chart is available for purchase and instant download in my shop now www.weediflowercreations.com/shop

Happy stitching,
Love Karen

December 2023 is here


This time of year can be difficult for some and certainly for me this year it will be one of some emotional rememberances because it is the first December since my Mum's passing which is also her birthday month (and mine too). 

Be gentle and kind with yourself at this time of year.  Allow the little moments of magic and warmth to lift your spirits where it can.

Lots of love, Karen x

Christmas in Summer Cross Stitch New Release


Hello friends.
 
I thought I’d pop in today with a little update. Thank you so much for all the lovely messages I’ve received after the passing of my Mum a few weeks ago.  I’m doing okay, taking one day at a time, and keeping busy with gardening, stitching and creating some new things.
 
I’m excited to introduce my latest cross stitch design called 'Christmas in Summer' which is specially created for stitchers in the Southern Hemisphere for their Christmas stitching and decorating.  It’s also perfect for anyone spending their December holidays in a summer location.
 
The chart-pack is available for purchase and instant download in my shop.  The chart-pack contains A4 sized charts in both colour and black and white.
 
Keep well.

A Festive Welcome - Free Cross Stitch Chart

 

Free Cross Stitch Pattern
 

 

I have a love for fancy and unusual doorways and can often been seen taking photographs of them on my travels around the countryside.  As a result i've had this little design idea floating around in my mind for months and this weekend I finally got to settle down and put it into a chart for you.  I'm so delighted with how this festive bauble design turned out and hope you enjoy stitching it for your seasonal decorating.  You'll find it ready for download over on my website www.weediflowercreations.com

The model is shown as stitched on white 14 count Aida,  43x44 Stitches, (7.8 x 8.0 cm) (3.1 x 3.1 inches).  If stitching on 16 count Aida the measurements are 43x44 Stitches (6.8 x 7.0 cm) (2.7 x 2.8 inches).

 I'd love to see your completed work and final finish so please tag me if you share a picture online.

Snowflake Crochet Motif

I had such fun working on this Snowflake pattern this week and I hope you have lots of fun making them too.  I'm looking forward to making a whole blizzard of them each night while I watch television to decorate the house and tree with this winter - which might also help me to stop nibbling on mince pies quite so much.  

I would really appreciate it and love it if you would help me to keep making and offering these free patterns by making a small donation on my Ko-fi account if you have used any of my patterns or just like my blog or Instagram.  I don't receive yarn or supplies from sponsors so this would enable me to purchase yarn for new projects.   

Love, Karen x

Felt Gingerbread House



Ta dah!  Here it is and i'm really pleased with it and hope you enjoy making lots of them in all sorts of colours and themes.

I have called it a Gingerbread House but really you can make it into a Beach Hut or Country Cottage - whatever takes your fancy.

If you make some please send me some photos so I can have a look and i'll put them up on the blog gallery if you would be happy for me to do so.

Use the tag #karenwiederholddesigns on Instagram and Facebook.












Here's the template.  Make sure to print it so that it fills an A4 size sheet of paper.
