A Dreamcatcher is supposed to snare nightmares in its net and let good dreams pass through the holes to find you. Some people say they work the other way around by letting the nightmares pass by and catching the good dreams to send down to you. Whichever way you think about it both ideas mean good dreams in and bad dreams out. I’ve been a vivid dreamer my whole life so this is an idea I like.
A Dreamcatcher should be personal to the dreamer. So, when I set about making mine, I decided to knit as much of it as possible. This pattern is more of a recipe than a pattern as there are a lot of non-knitting steps. Pictures are included to help you along the way. The great thing about this project is that you can personalize it any way you want. Choose your own yarn (great stash buster) and beads or buttons. I knit little leaves to hang from my Dreamcatcher, but maybe you prefer flowers. In that case, look around for flower patterns to adapt. Have fun and let me know if you have any questions. Happy Dreaming!
