About this pattern

Get a good night's kip thanks to our easy dreamcatcher tutorial

Originally created by Native Americans to hang over the beds of sleeping children, these history-packed hoops were designed to trap scary nightmares and allow good dreams to pass through. This charming project is a great way to use up those odd habby bits in your sewing room, and it's simple enough for older children to try their hand at, too. Not only will it add a touch of tradition and creativity to any room, but it also carries a meaningful purpose. Just remember to give it a good shake outside to release those negative thoughts when you wake up!
