Mini Hexies Blanket: A Free Demo for My 7-Step Guide to Multicolor Motif Blankets

Hello, gorgeous crafter! I recently shared everything I know about creating multicolor motif blankets, or scrappy blankets, or however you would like to call it when you organize all of your remnants and make a blanket. Knowing how to make something out of nothing like this is a very good skill to have – and I say skill because it definitely is a learned skill! But once you get the feel for it, you can effortlessly whip up remnant motifs after each project, and once you have enough piled up, you can create a thing of beauty. Head to my “All those ends!” post, so you can read all of my tips and tricks for making a multicolor motif blanket.

They tie up nicely in a neat bow in my VVCAL Mega Pack which you can find on Etsy or Ravelry. For the 2022 VVCAL, I wanted to do something different, so I decided to change the game with hexagon motifs. This 2024 VVCAL will be hexagons as well, and they will mix and match with the 2022 motifs. This is going to be a very exciting make, as I know many of you are very interested in making a hexagon blanket, but are looking for new ways to create the layout or start joining them.

Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL: Bonus Pattern (Dutch Translation)

Hello lovely crafter! I can’t believe the Colour Lab CAL is already over, but there is a way to ride the wave for a little while longer. With every Scheepjes CAL there is a small bonus pattern, and today I want to share mine with you. I wrote the Rosalind Motif just for you all, and I hope you enjoy it! This motif is a great way to use up leftover remnants of your Scrumptious Kit if you got one, or just add it to your pattern collection as a freebie on me. The name comes from British chemist and X-ray crystallographer, Rosalind Franklin, whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA. Unfortunately, her discovery of the structure of DNA went largely unrecognized during her life, as others took credit for her works. Note: I made a full blanket with this motif! That FO Post will be live next Wednesday for you to check out! More Free Pattern Versions PDF Format Coming soon! The condensed PDF version of this pattern is available for convenient …
