Free Crochet Pattern: Pink Pony Blanket (US Terms)

Published by

Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today I want to share with you my latest crochet pattern. I wanted to create a simple and fun pattern that could tie together any color palette. This piece would be great for a stash buster, or with a planned layout, but if you use DK weight yarn or another weight thinner or thicker than Aran Weight yarn, then you will need to adjust the number of motifs that you make to achieve the same blanket size. Resizing instructions are at the end of the pattern. You’ll love this one! A note about the name, I was looking through Chappell Roan songs (currently obsessed), and thought Pink Pony Club would fit this blanket perfectly. The colors and the vintage, kitschy style of the blanket are well suited to her style I think! Then, I looked up the meaning behind the song, and it says the Pink Pony Club is a metaphor for having a safe space to exist, and I thought that was really beautiful. So Here you are!

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

Published by

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.

It is quite a large piece, but you will enjoy every stitch, especially the mandalas. Happy crafting!

Free Crochet Pattern: Rosalind Blanket (US Terms)

Published by

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. PDF Format The condensed PDF version of this pattern is available for convenient printing on Etsy and Ravelry, and the English Language US Terms and UK Terms versions are included in the purchase.

Free Crochet Pattern: Hearts in Bloom Blanket (US Terms)

Published by

Hello, crafter! This month, I am focusing on Phase 1 of the Artist’s Journey, and the importance of imitation when just starting out in your craft. You can read all about that in Episode 2 of Creative Clarity. I shared a bit about my first phase of designing in that post, but in 2014 while I was still in the beginning stages of crochet design, I saw a heart mandala that I fell in love with and wanted to turn into a blanket motif. I reached out to the designer, Crochet Millan, and asked if I could add on additional rounds to her design, and create a quarter motif and a half motif to make a full blanket. She gave me permission, and I made the additions a freebie on my website. Hearts in Bloom For the accompanying crochet pattern to this month’s Creative Clarity episode, I decided to revisit that pattern, but the original mandala is no longer available as a design online anywhere. This was indeed almost a decade ago! So my updated …
