Helloooo and welcome to my first blog post! Let me explain a bit about why I'm even starting this page 🀭 On June 14th 2025 I published my first free pattern on my Instagram page (@crochet_witheli), The Basic Beret, and since then I've been thinking about making a blog for my patterns. 🀭 So far there's only one pattern, but I just finished the draft of a second pattern. (Spoiler: it's inspired by Totoro πŸƒ) Basically the plan is to make this a free collection of my future patterns and maybe share some of my pattern tests (which I do quite a lot of πŸ˜…). I am a bit afraid that having somewhere else to post regularly will overwhelm me, so I'm not putting any pressure on myself, but just doing this for fun πŸ’–πŸ«£ Thank you so much for being here and reading my first post! Love  Eli πŸ’–
