Pip the lemon is here.YAY!

I’m so excited to be sharing my very first crochet pattern with you all for free on here 😄 without tutorials on YouTube on how to crochet I don’t think I would’ve ever learnt how to, @bellacococrochet tutorials have been a massive help to me over the years and still are 😊 so this is my way of saying thank you.

Thank you so much to my lovely testers for helping me on making Pip’s pattern just right 😊 you can see their cute versions of Pip at the very end of this post 🍋

If you do crochet your very own Pip, please do tag me so that I can see your happy Pip 🍋

If you’d like to get the PDF version of this pattern you can find it in my Etsy shop too.

Happy Amigurumay 🐸

I had the pleasure of testing Hugo the hungry frog for @irenestrange, he’s a fun pattern to crochet 🧶 I love his silly character.

Happy birthday celebrations to @pracowniablask and his new pattern release Buddy, who is free to crochet 😄

I had so much fun testing this pattern for Kuba. My favourite part is the different hat toppings Buddy has, I think my personal favourite is the cherry one 🍒

My first pattern test of the year is this little shroom by @stitchesforswitch. I had so much fun testing this pattern, it’s a lovely beginner friendly pattern to have a go at 😊

Thank you again to @stitchesforswitch for letting me test shroom for you 🍄

I love seeing where people get their inspiration from for their creations. I didn’t actually realise that Pip the Lemon was inspired by my Zest Friends print ☺️

Now, do we think little Pip needs his best friend Zest to be made? 🍋‍🟩

I loved what I made last year, even if I didn’t capture it half the time 😂

This was a little trip down memory lane putting this together 😊 can you relate to anything I’ve mentioned?

If you want to give Pip a try, you can find his pattern for free on my Instagram. His pattern is pinned on my page, so he’s easy to find 😊 will you be crocheting your own Pip this year?

Please do tag me if you do crochet your very own Pip, I’d love to see your version of him 🍋 and if you have any questions about Pip’s pattern, please do pop me a message 😊

You don’t realise how much you can make over the course of a year, until you go back through your photos.

The one thing I was proud of last year was designing my very first pattern 🍋 what were you most proud of in 2025? I’d love to know.

I also got to test some lovely patterns by @blossommooncrafts @crochetbyjanina @knotstocuties @nyna.elaine.crochets @daydreaming_maker @moon.crochet.41, who are fab crocheters 😊

Before we say goodbye to 2025, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who’s supported my little shop this year.

I know I haven’t been very active on here, but every sale I’ve received has meant so much.

These products have been some firm favourites this year. Have you had any favourite products this year? I’d love to know ☺️

I hope you all have a lovely finish to 2025 and I’ll see you all in the New Year 😊
