Keep your dreams safe with this colourful dreamcatcher! Saskia made it with the beautiful gradient yarn Lang Yarns Mille Colori Socks & Lace Luxe. This gorgeous yarn with subtle glitter gives this dreamcatcher some extra shine. For the crochet pattern she used popcorn stitches, an elegant stitch that gives a bobbly shape to your work.

The bobbly effect of the stitch combined with the warm colours of the yarn is the perfect match for this beautiful doily. Decorate the metal ring with different kinds of ribbons or scraps of yarn to make its look complete!

Crochet Dreamcatcher

Materials:
- 1 ball Mille Colori Socks & Lace Luxe colour 53
- 1 ball Yarn and Colors Must-Have Minis colour 34
- Metal ring Ø 45cm
- Crochet hook 4mm
- Leftovers of ribbon or scraps of yarn in different colours

Special stitch:

Popcorn stitch: Dc. 5, remove your hook from the loop, insert it in the loop of the first dc. Put the other loop back on your hook and draw through the first loop.

Tip: To make sure your dreamcatcher remains round you need to increase stitches in a different place each round. Increase 6 popcorn stitches each round.

Tip: When your work tends to get lumpy then stop the increases and work one round without increasing. Then in the next round start increasing again. When your work still is lumpy then work another round without increasing.
