Rolling Plains Crochet Blanket Pattern, From My Book, The Art of Crochet Blankets

Hello, friend! Today I want to share another crochet pattern from my blanket design book, The Art of Crochet Blankets. Lately I have been getting some questions about the book, because the blankets are inspired by non-crochet artists. Yes, six artists are featured in the book, and their crafts range from digital art to cement tile, and more. I set the book up that way to show how the fusion of inspiration from non-crochet arts with our crochet craft can propel crochet forward and allow it to evolve.

A Plaid-tastic Blanket Design in Progress

Hey, lovely! Today I want to reveal a WIP that I have had in the works since 2014. Mind you, my design career started in 2012, so this puppy has been waiting since the beginning of my designer days. I was just a fledgling designer! But I had a seed of an idea… And that seed grew into a colorful and versatile plaid blanket. In this post, I’ll go over all of the behind the scenes progress that has gone into making this piece, from the initial idea and development, to the color layout and composition, and down to naming the design. Of course I have a lot of progress photos to show you as well. First let’s talk about how I planted the seed for this blanket, and how it finally sprouted seven years later. Read to the end to take a peek at my Chunky Monkey stash Autumn mantel decoration!

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 – …
