Stardust Melodies

Welcome to the main hub for all information about the Stardust Melodies Collection.

This site is still under construction, so some of the links on this page currently lead nowhere. We’re working hard to fix that, so please bear with us and keep checking back!

Stardust Melodies is a crochet pattern collection of 24 texture blocks and 2 borders, half of which are totally free. Each pattern is made in a single color and highly textured for a truly unique effect. Each block is inspired by a classic song that will have you humming along as you crochet. The patterns were originally released as a crochet along event in 2017, but are now available as an ebook and here on my website.

Get the patterns

The ebook contains all 24 texture block patterns and 2 border options in a printable, ad-free PDF format.

But there’s so much more! You also get:

Charts! Each pattern includes a non-traditional chart (don’t worry, instructions for reading the charts are included) that were a hit with crochet along participants. Many used only the charts to create their blocks because they were so easy to read.

Exclusive tips and tricks for each pattern, plus all the notes and tips found here on my website in one convenient package.

All the color and planning information found here on my website, organized in one printable package.

All the information on joining options with links to the YouTube tutorials.

Links to full video tutorials for all 26 patterns.
