Free Dream Catcher Pattern – Somnium

Download PDF here

I have chosen to use some glitter thread along with the Shamrock yarns 100% mercerised cotton, to add a little something extra.

Shamrock yarn is really nice to work with. It is soft while also being strong and thick. There is a wide selection of colours to choose from, so you can get exactly the colour you want.

Measurements

The dream catcher measures 15cm in diameter, and you can make the strands whichever length you want. For this dream catcher, I have used strands of 30cm and cut it a little bit. 

Materials

• Crochet hook size 2.50mm
• Darning needle for finishing
• Possibly stitch markers and row counter
• 35 grams Shamrock yarns 132 Petrol
• 10 grams Shamrock yarns 114 Navy Blue
• 2 rolls Gütermann Metallic Effect Thread 483 Petrol
• 1 Metal Ring 15cm

Abbreviations

dc - double crochet stitch

ch - chain stitch

sl st - slip stitch

Inc - increase (2 stitches in the same stitch)

Tr - Treble

Instructions

Start by making 10 ch, and join the chain stitch row with an sl st.

 

Make 3 ch and then 26 tr in the ch ring.

  

Begin each round with 3 ch and finish with an sl st in 3 ch.

• 1 tr in the same stitch as the 3 ch, skip 1 stitch, 3 ch
• 2 tr, 3 ch – the rest of the round

• 1 tr in the next stitch, 5 ch
• 2 tr in the tr from the previous round – the rest of the round

• 1 tr in the next stitch, 7 ch
• 2 tr in the tr from the previous round – the rest of the round

• 1 tr in the next stitch, 9 ch
• 2 tr in the tr from the previous round – the rest of the round

• 1 tr in the next stitch, 11 ch
• 2 tr in the tr from the previous round – the rest of the round

Make dc around the metal ring and finish with sl st, so the ends are joined. Leave one of the ends long so you can make a loop – weave in the ends.

  

  

You now attach the dream catcher to the ring. Use stitch markers to place it evenly, and then sew it on securely. Lead the yarn through the double crochet stitches around the ring – so they won’t be visible.

Cut a bunch of long strands of yarn with glitter thread and tie them onto the bottom of the dream catcher. You can use the same colour, with or without glitter, or you can choose to add a different colour.
