Hi, my name is Maria!

I’m the maker and designer behind Pukapuka, a brand that took its name from an atoll in French Polynesia.

I studied geography at the Warsaw University (Poland), and at that time I fell in love with crochet.

Today I design crochet maps and other easy to follow crochet patterns. I invite you to join me in this adventure, using my patterns – either free, here on the blog, or (many more!) printable pdfs available on Etsy, Ravelry and Lovecrafts.

I suggest you make this Spring Kerchief for all the girls in your life.

Are you ready for sailing season? ⚓
Make sure to take the Dutch tiles Bag with you to carry all your essentials. The bag features sailing ship on one side and a lighthouse on another, is crocheted from corner to corner (C2C) in two colors.
.
It was inspired by Dutch tiles from Delft. One day, while visiting a palace near Warsaw, I looked at one wall of those tiles and thought: there must be a way to turn them into a crochet piece.

I have to admit that I'm a huge fan of Instagram. I read complaints about social media quite often, but to me it's really an inspiring place, full of content I love.
.
It's here where I first found @cornishware pottery, I totally could own it all😍. And one day I stepped into my local thrift store and on the shelf with mugs (my fave shelf!) I saw... a Cornishware set💙💙💙. A tiny one, but still.
.
Now I'm a happy owner, let's call it start of a collection 😜.
.
It pairs perfectly with my flag of Cornwall - another flag featuring st George's cross (do you remember other flags with the cross???).
.
So my #FlagChallenge26 continues. Join me, free patterns are waiting for you!

Following pope Francis' funeral, the conclave star

Following pope Francis' funeral, the conclave starts tomorrow. Let's see how long we'll wait for the white smoke 🤔.

I made this Vatican City flag to my collection. Did you know there are just two square flags? Do you know which country is the second one?

May is here, April is over. I owe you my monthly report: in #FlagChallenge26 I declared the need of making at least 17 flags a month.
.
In April I completed 19: some European, some American (including Caribbean country!), a few African, some Asian and some Oceanian too! See them all in the reel. Did you know any of them?
.
Not all patterns are in my shops yet (forgive me, I crochet faster than I write patterns!), if any of them is special for you and you need it urgently, let me know, I will prioritize it!

I crocheted this World Atlas several years ago and I am still very proud of it (the construction!).
If you want your kids to be familiar with the shapes of continents, make one for them. Definitely.
.
I've written a few more words about the Atlas, find it on my blog 👉 pukapuka.pl.
.
I used my favorite Drops Safran @dropsdesign as it's always in my stash, and 3 mm hook. You can replace it with any cotton yarn.
.
Pattern is in all my shops (see links in stories and in my bio).

I had this kerchief in my mind for so long, it was definitely the time to write it down and publish.
.
Head to my blog for the free pattern. I hope you will like it and make one for every girl in your life!
.
Just about 200m of sport weight cotton and 3mm hook is needed to complete one of those cuties.
I used Drops Safran @dropsdesign , well, this yarn is always in my stash 😁

With over 50 flags now I came up with a game and forced my family to play.
Rules are simple: two teams, each team has equal number of flags. They need to group them in continents where they belong to.
There's one point for each correct continent and one negative point for wrong continent. Next, one point if they name each flag correctly. No negative points here.
.
They were amazing as teams! A few mistakes in continents (like: Botswana in Oceania 🤷) and just a few flags they couldn't name (Mauritius, Armenia, Dominican Republic). It was fun to see the youngest team member being 100% sure and convincing others he knows the flag of Georgia 🇬🇪
.
Also, there was some confusion regarding the Netherlands/Russia.
.
Just me, as a referee, didn't pass the exam, I miscounted points and everyone was a winner 🏆😅
.
Will you join my #FlagChallenge26 ???

I decided it's time for #FlagChallenge26.
Last year I started making flags and I love it as it's quick, easy, pretty and educational! I decided I want to make all the flags (and more)!
.
Now I know I need to be ready with 206 flags by the end of January '26 (you'll find out why in January '26 😁). When I counted what I already have I realized I need to make 17 flags a month starting APRIL 🤪. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
.
From now on there will be a hashtag #flagchallenge26 every time I post a flag.
.
I wanted to invite you to join me: I'm adding new flags to my shops every week. I'm aware you might not be interested in all the flags, but why not 3 or 15? They make a nice bunting already!
.
Also: whenever you make at least two flags a month, DM their pictures to me and I'll send you a flag pattern of your choice for free!
.
And don't forget to post them here, use #flagchallenge26 and tag me.
.
Who's in???

United in passion! If you and/or your uncles, husbands, brothers (sisters??), children play football (soccer? 😁) I have a hat for you in four sizes 🥳. From baby to adult 😏 and I'm quite proud of it 🏵️.
.
Spring is here, time for more outdoor activities ⚽⚽⚽🥅🏟️.
.
It's made of sport weight cotton yarn (I used Drops Safran @dropsdesign ), so it's rather decorative, not warm. Perfect to wear on chilly spring days.

Time to face the truth 😮‍💨. I've been making flags for a year now, I was convinced I've made many. Today I decided I need to count them all. And it looks like there are just 50 (Union Jack is missing, as I gifted it to someone and haven't remade yet).
.
As I need all of them, not only UN recognized nations, but also those who are members of the International Olympic Committee, it's not even one third 🤷. Time to speed up I guess 😉
.
Can you spot your flag here? Which one is it?

If you like tulips, this reel is for you 🌷. Otherwise you might be bored 🥱.
Last weekend I went with my little daughter to see all those amazingly beautiful flowers on a special exhibition and it was great time together! Inspiring for both of us.
.
And I realized that I've crocheted a tulip before! A folk version of it, inspired by Kashubian embroidery. I love how it turned out (wasn't easy at first!). I'll write a post soon with some explanation, so you're not discouraged, as I'm sure you can crochet it too - with my instructions 👍. You know, it usually like that: it's easy once the pattern is written 🥰.
