Namaste Chunky pattern

Published by

Pattern is now available! On Ravelry, Craftsy, and LoveKnitting (coming soon!)  See the blog post for this design for more info on the backstory of the name, and the recommended yarns. All yarns that I used for the sample are listed in the pattern.  Enjoy making this 5ft mandala blanket and meditating in the center! Perfection! Oooh the issue of exercise and weight and food and body image and wrinkly tummy skin and junk in the proverbial trunk. We all go through these struggles in one way or another, and Namaste Chunky is my way of saying I accept and love my body and all its curves. It’s like “so are you doing yoga to lose weight?” – “Umm, Namaste Chunky – I just love yoga.” 😁  And I do love yoga! Doing Yoga with Adriene at night has been a life changer. If you really listen to what she says and balance, and actually “focus on your breathing” and lay on the floor when you’re done, just staring at the ceiling, I promise you …

Kitty Hexagon Blanket: Free Pattern

Published by

Follow this pattern to make a Hello Kitty silhouette hexagon to mix in with your Geometric Lace pattern hexes. (What a creative and fresh way to use this pattern!) Make it in Scheepjes Colour Crafter for a wide variety of colors and a super snuggly blanket. Since this is a hexagon adaptation of the Hello Kitty Granny Square Chart, you will need to reference that pattern online. You can search “Hello Kitty Crochet Chart” online, and find the chart on several blogs, or for quick reference, I have saved it below.. Here is my cat face 🙂  For the hexagon addition to work, you need to be sure you have 4 “forehead” stitches, and 6 stitches total for each ear – 3 “up the ear” and 3 “across the ear.” Locate the stitch to the right of the four “forehead” stitches. My hook is through that stitch in the photo below. Attach yarn and (SC, Chain 2, Treble, Chain 1, DC) all in that stitch. DC in 4 “forehead” stitches, and all in next stitch: …

Cottage Quilt: NEW Pattern

Published by

See pattern in my Etsy Shop and on Ravelry Pattern includes: Motif and half-motif (flower hexagon) How to join hexagons using my method Striped corner Lace border Instructions to increase blanket size from 28×34″ to any dimensions I’ve always had a huge love for hexagons, but the Cottage Quilt pattern idea came about when three thought paths crossed each other in my mind.: 1) I started getting obsessed with making half-hexagon motifs. 2) Designing crochet blankets that resemble quilts was a big creative outlet for me. 3) The incredible @sewrayme (sewrayme.co.uk) Instagram feed made me fall in love with floral fabric paired with stripes. <3 So, this design was born! It took me about a year to finally put it all together and it went through a lot of back-to-the-drawing-board phases before I could really write the pattern. Now, all I want to do is add a striped corner on all my hex designs! This pattern will show you how to add a striped corner to any hexagon blanket if you make the “corner cutout” using …
