Hey guys, welcome back to
my blog!
So, my niece is turning 4
this month. I asked her what she wants for her birthday and she told me she
wanted a rainbow dream catcher bigger than her! Apparently, she has very big
scary dreams.

cuteness)
Anyway, I digress. I
decided to design a dreamcatcher big and bold enough to fight off toddler
monsters, check it out!

out of stitches.
Notes:
·
This pattern can work with any size craft ring
you have, just add or take away rows as it seems fit.
16-inch
Ring
Amethyst
Row 1: 10DC into a magic circle, sl st (10)
Row 2: 2DC in each st around, sl st (20)
Soft Navy
Row 3: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next* Repeat around,
sl st (30)
Row 4: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 2 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (40)
Econ Blue
Row 5: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 3 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (50)
Row 6: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 4 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (60)
Paddy Green
Row 7: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 5 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (70)
Row 8: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 6 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (80)
Bright Yellow
Row 9: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 7 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (90)
Row 10: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 8 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (100)
Pumpkin
Row 11: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 9 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (110)
Row 12: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 10 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (120)
Cherry Red
Row 13: *2DC in the first st, 1DC in the next 11 sts* Repeat
around, sl st (130)
From here you should have a circle that looks about one row
to short for your dream catcher. If you are using a different size than adjust
the pattern accordingly so that your circle is still a row shorter than your
ring. Next you are going to single crochet around both your circle and your
craft ring. Once you have single crocheted all the way around, slip stitch and
fasten off.
11-inch Ring
Amethyst
Row 1: 10DC into a magic circle, sl st (10)
Row 2: 2DC in each st around, sl st (20)
Soft
Navy
Row 3: *2DC in the first st, ch 1. Sk a st, 2DC in the next
st* Repeat around, sl st (30)
Econ
Blue
Row 4: *1DC, ch1, sk a st, 2DC* Repeat around, sl st (40)
Paddy
Green
Row 5: *1DC in the next 2 sts, ch 1. Sk a st, 2DC* Repeat
around, sl st (50)
Bright
Yellow
Row 6: *1DC in the next 3 sts, ch 1. Sk a st, 2DC* Repeat
around, sl st (60)
Pumpkin
Row 7: *1DC in the next 4 sts, ch 1. Sk a st, 2DC* Repeat
around, sl st (70)
Cherry
Red
Row 8: *1DC in the next 5 sts, ch 1. Sk a st, 2DC* Repeat
around, sl st (80)
Amethyst
Row 9: *1DC in the next 6 sts, ch 1. Sk a st, 2DC* Repeat around,
sl st (90)
From here, I used Navy to sc around the 11-inch ring (because
that was the next color in the color scheme). Feel free to use amethyst or any
color that pleases you to single crochet around.
3 and 4-inch
Rings
Using Bright Yellow, Pumpkin, and Econ Blue single crochet around
each ring. Finnish off leaving a long LONG
tail. Weave tail in and out around the ring creating a traditional looking dream
catcher.
2.5-inch
Rings
Using amethyst and cherry red, 20DC into a magic circle then
sl st. Sc around ring, finish off and weave in tail.
Putting it Together:
I used 6 beads to attach the first 3 rings
4 beads to attach the next 2 rings
And 3 beads to attach the last 3 rings
Add more beads in between each ring to make the dream catcher taller, take them away to make it shorter
Adding
Fridge
1. Cut 20 strands
of each color yarn about 100 inches long (or twice the size of the dream
catcher)
2. Insert hook
through both loops on the side of the top dream catcher and pull 2 strands of
one color up to create a loop. Thread tails of strands through the loop and pull
until snug.
3. Continue
adding fringe along the side of the dream catcher alternating colors.
For the second, smaller dream catcher repeat steps 1 through
3. During step 1 cut 50 inch strands instead of 100 inch strands.
Trim the fringe along the bottom, matching the edge of the
last dream catcher.
Scallop
Edging
Depending on how much fringe you add, scallop edge all the stitches
that are not being used.
There you have it! Dream catchers are new for me, but I
definitely love them.
Leave a photo in the comments of some of the dream catchers
you guys have made!
