Free Crochet Pattern: Tiny Garden Blanket (UK Terms)

Hello, fabulous crafter! In an effort to provide a free version of all of my (60-ish!) self-published full blanket patterns, I am striving to release a free pattern weekly. Side note: There are about 30 more blankets I have designed which are not self-published, so I can’t release freebies of those, but I wish I could! Tiny Garden Blanket A few years back, I became obsessed with the creative endeavors of a talented and lovely lady named Jessica Wilkinson. She has since left social media, but her nature flatlays and video trips around her garden were absolutely inspiring to me. I designed five blankets inspired by her drawings, her flatlays, and her tiny porch potted plant garden. The materials for Jessica’s floral photography come from a few modest potted plants on her patio. From that tiny garden come the gorgeous and colorful flatlays that inspired this blanket. Below, you will find the free UK Terms pattern, and you can find the US Terms version here! There is a yarn kit available for Tiny Garden – …

Final Reveal: Crochet Nesting Baskets with Wooden Base

Hey, gorgeous crafter! Remember this WIP from a couple of weeks ago? I have been working on these crochet nesting baskets for a little while and have really enjoyed making something completely different from a blanket, but still a small and quick project. Also as a side note, every time I’m chugging along on a project, I’m jotting improvements in my notebook. So, I already have a few more ideas to make crochet nesting basket sets using these wooden bag bottoms. And I did get many messages asking about these bag bottoms and where to find them. I just might start selling them along with some kits for baskets once I get the design just right.
