Summer Designer’s Pick: Blog Hop & Bundle Event

I’m super excited this summer to be taking part in the Designer’s pick – summer crochet pattern bundle and blog hop event and I wanted to create a space where I can share with you all that will be happening this June.

There is so much crochet goodness, I don’t want you to to miss out on anything!

Note that you can also purchase this pattern on it’s own from Love Crafts, Etsy, or Ravelry. Visit the pattern page to find out more details about material, sizing and skill level (it’s beginner friendly!).

The Pattern Bundle (available from 31st May 2021)

What’s in the bundle?

The patten bundle includes all 32 crochet patterns included in the blog hop, plus 2 exclusive bonus patterns. Keep reading to see the photo collages and get an advanced look at the beautiful designs on offer.

Plus, if you use one of my links you’ll receive a free PDF copy of the Perceptions shawl (more about that below)

How much is it?

$12.99 (USD) – that works out about £10 in British money.

This breaks down to about 37 cents per pattern or around 29 pence.

That’s 90% off the cost of each pattern if bought separately.

It really is a steal. (Get it here)

Added Dora Does Bonus

As an added bonus, if you purchase the bundle via any of the links on this page (or links I provide in the WiP Tip, or on my social media channels), then you will also receive a free PDF copy of the Perceptions summer shawl.

For full disclosure, and some insight into how these bundles work – the links to purchase the bundle are affiliate links, which means if you purchase via one of my links, I receive a percentage of the sale. I designed the Imperfect Summer vest pattern especially for this event, so this is how I am compensated for my work (where normally it would be through direct pattern sales).

Of course, if you prefer, you can purchase the Imperfect Summer Pattern as a single pattern (from Ravelry, Etsy or Love Crafts), but for a few extra £ or $, you really are getting an amazing deal with this bundle.

Below you can see some of the garment patterns included in the bundle. You can click here to see all the patterns included in the bundle.

The Sponsor

I want to just take a moment to thank We Crochet, who have provided all the yarn free or charge to all the designers involved in this event. All the items you see were made with We Crochet yarn.

This is the first time I have worked with yarn from We Crochet (who are the crochet arm of knit picks). I used Lindy Chain to create the Imperfect Summer vest and I really enjoyed working with it. It’s a fingering weight chainette yarn made from a blend of linen and Pima cotton. Perfect for a summer garment.

The Blog Hop (June 1st to July 2nd)

The blog hop, and this whole event is being co-hosted by Hannah from  Hanjan Crochet and RaeLynn from Itchin for some stitchin. Hannah is hosting from June 1st to 16th and RaeLynn is hosting from June 17th to the end on July 2nd.

How does it work?

Each day you will be able to get a free PDF copy of one of the patterns in the Designer’s Pick Bundle.

Visit the blog hop round-up page (links below) and you will be given a coupon code and a link to that day’s featured designer’s site where you can find out more about the pattern, including a link to download it for free (remember you’ll need the coupon code).

The code to get your free download will only be active for 24 hours only, so you have to be quick!

June 1 – 16 Hanjan Crochet blog hop page

June 17th – July 2nd: Itchin for some stitchin blog hop page

If you miss a pattern, or don’t want to visit all the pages, then you can purchase the whole bundle for the bargain price of $12.99 (I’m going to keep talking about it because it really is a bargain!!)

If you’ve missed the Imperfect Summer vest in the blog hop (it was offered free on the first of June, you can either get it as a stand alone pattern (details on the pattern page here) or as part of the bundle offer.

Here are the accessory patterns you can expect to see in the bundle.

Other FAQs

If you have any questions then just drop a note in the comments.

In the meantime, here’s a few I think might come up!

What if I clicked a different link for the bundle before yours? Will I still get the Perceptions shawl free?

In theory, if you buy by clicking on one of my links, then you should automatically qualify. However, If you clicked another designers link, but want to qualify for the bonus pattern, then clear your cookies in your browser to be safe and reclick on one of the bundle links from my site.

How do I get the Perceptions shawl as my bonus pattern?

If you make the purchase using my link, you will receive an additional link in your email confirmation which will take you directly to the PDF file hosted on Google Drive. You can download this and save it to your device. Any issues with this, just drop me an email.
