Hello, gorgeous crafter! Let me tell you a story. One day I became absolutely obsessed with the idea of turning printed tessellation designs into crochet blankets and a few sketches later, this blanket design was born!

Hey, you! Thanks so much for stopping in. Today I want to share another project that I have in the works: My own hula hoop mandala! First, let’s look back at my inspiration: The Trinity Mandalas. Remembering the Trinity Mandala MAL If you remember my recent post regarding hula hoop mandalas, I am completely obsessed. It all started with the Trinity Mandala MAL hosted by Scheepjes – genius pattern by Esther of It’s All in a Nutshell. I made six hula hoops with that mandala pattern. The original pattern called for Catona* which is a thin cotton, but I resized the pattern by using 3 strands of Colour Crafter* (check out how I get 3 strands from just 1 ball of yarn). I basically worked the mandala pattern until it reached the size I needed to stretch it over my hula hoop. New Yarn Arrival! Okay, so needless to say, after making Esther’s mandala into a hula hoop decoration, I knew I had to make a pattern of my own for this purpose. Enter Scheepjes …

It’s a great way for a beginner to make some super neat work with an easy and free pattern. Doesn’t it look so neat and clean? I do love a cozy traditional granny – I wrote a blog post about 7 fun ways to granny! – but sometimes a clean look is what you’re after. I used a whip stitch join to make such straight seams, and very flat too. Plus, the whip stitch uses the tails, so fewer ends to weave! My preference is to work through both loops …

Gemma is a sweet and stylish geometric baby blanket made in chunky Stone Washed XL. I named her Gemma after the diamond shapes, but coincidentally, all of the colors of Stone Washed are named for gemstones. It was meant to be! If you need a fast baby blanket, one option is to use thicker yarn, but the end result can be a boxy and bulky piece. By mixing thick motifs with thinner yarn for the join and border, you can turn a good blanket into a great blanket. Try this pattern for your next gifty make! My fast and furious week-long Gemma journey has its own blog post! But now it’s done, and I’m truly proud of the result. It was an utter joy to work with the new and favorite colors of Scheepjes – Stone Washed XL, and the original Stone Washed. See my review of these yarns and where to find them near you!
