Looking to winter and Christmas this year has been all about the men for me, which is what got me thinking about the stag placemat.
Note: this post may contain affiliate links.
Stags are universal – men, women and children like stags and your colour choices can really give your creation a completely different vibe. As I am focussing on trying to produce more patterns for men this year I went with the black and red which definitely ooze the masculine feels!
This one stag placemat has led to a lot of matching patterns here at Sunflower – we have 2 different sized afghans waiting in the wings, a throw pillow, a coffee cozy that uses buffalo check in back and red to name a few.
I used the same stag head silhouette design to pull this collection together.
The smaller Stag afghan can be found as a bonus pattern in our Just for Him Bundle. You can find out more about that event and the bundle here.
There are some as yet unreleased patterns in there too!

This pattern uses tapestry crochet (single crochet in US terms, double crochet in UK terms). There are not a lot of ends to sew in which is one of the things I love about this design! This means that you can make that set without having nightmares about the ends!
I made this one with dishy cotton from WeCrochet. I love working with this cotton and there are is a great selection of colours available too.
Using sc as your gauge stitch, 2’’x 2’’ is 9 stitches x 11 rows
Finished size is approx. 16’’ wide by 12’’ high. You can use a bigger hook or thicker cotton with an appropriate sized hook to create a bigger version.
Written in US terms – to be worked in rows using single crochet.
Chain 1 does not count as a stitch if you use a ch1 to turn.
There are no special stitches used in this pattern.
This is a side to side graph and is worked left to right on the right side (odd numbered rows) and right to left on the wrong side (even numbered rows) and from the bottom to the top.
Remember to crochet over any yarn you carry as this is a reversible pattern.
Color charts with stitch totals are listed under the chart below.
The PDF version also includes written instructions, color block instructions and larger charts.

The Halloween Pumpkin Placemat is actually one that I designed well over a year ago. Tested last year, I felt we were cutting it a little fine to release for Halloween. So I waited until this year.
And the timing worked out perfectly! I get to release this pattern as part of a mini Halloween CAL event hosted by CAL Central.
If you would like to be kept up to date with all of the events and CALs we are involved in you can join either of our mailing lists. The general one is our weekly newsletter. Usually this is sent on a Wednesday which our official release day for patterns, video tutorials etc. However, occasionally we may do a quick second email if we are in an event with a new pattern that I think you guys would love to know about!
There is also our Events and CALs email. This one is sent whenever there is an event or CAL going on to let you know what is happening or what patterns are available for you that day.

However, to work out how much yarn you will need you will need to do a sample swatch and then measure how much yarn you used per stitch multiplying that by the number of stitches of that color and adding some for the tails to be worked in at the end.

Do you agree with me that the Ava Table Runner is just gorgeous? It’s one of the reasons why I named it after one of my nieces. She might only be almost 5 but she was so proud when I told her I had named …
I needed a handy storage basket so why not write it up as a free pattern? We had recently had a log burner put in and I needed something pretty to keep the logs in. I had also just gotten my first order of Hoooked …
Can I say ‘Introducing the Bee Pillow’? Who doesn’t love bees? They have such an important role in our lives but sometimes I think it is way too easy to forget just how much they do for us!
This pattern is actually reminding me that Spring is just around the corner! It’s been such a cold January here that it feels like it will last forever!
This pattern was actually designed for a guest post over at E’Claire Makery in July 2020 and the pattern is available in our shops, but we haven’t been able to tell you about it here …. until now! So it has been ‘out there somewhere’ but we are going to treat this one as a new release!
When I was approved to be a guest designer on E’Claire Makery’s blog I was thrilled! She asked for something home dec and I was inspired by her love of bees and that recent pattern she had designed with the bees around the yoke. It was gorgeous! So I knew I was safe with bees as my theme.
I wanted a pattern that was quite simple, not too time consuming and a great pattern for all experience levels. I sat down to draft some designs and the bee pillow just came to me!
This bee pillow is a great accessory for your home or garden. It also makes a great gift for any occasion – birthdays, Christmas, a housewarming or simply just because!
This pillow is actually made using the intarsia technique – Claire told me, I just thought it was tapestry crochet lol. Sometime soon I will check into exactly what the difference is and let you guys know!
So basically, this pillow is made using single crochets and carrying the yarn appropriately making sure you work over it and picking up the colours when you need them.

I love what our testers did with the backs of their bee pillows! Most of them had never worked a sc graph before but you can see how they had fun adding their own touches to the back panel. You can check out their photos below and see how different they all are! I would love to see what you do with yours!
Assembly:
Step 1: Take your front and back panels and place wrong sides together (this means that the right sides will be facing outwards).
Step 2: SC around three sides of your bee pillow ensuring that you sc through both the front and the back panels (see photo below). At each corner (sc, ch1, sc). Do NOT work the last side yet.
Step 3: Insert pillow form into pillow cover and then continue to sc along the last side. This might be a little trickier as you have the pillow form to work around too. Slip stitch to the first stitch you made. Do not fasten off yet!
Step 4: Crab stitch in each sc and ch1 space around.

We hope that you have enjoyed this bee pillow pattern as much as we enjoyed creating and testing it! In fact, we loved it so much we currently have the matching corner to corner afghan waiting in the wings that should be released very soon! Well, we couldn’t not! It’s such a cute design.
