Free Crochet Pattern: Sugarfrost Blanket (US Terms)

Published by

Sugarfrost Blanket Hello, friend! It’s been a long while since my last post, because I took some time away from creating new work to focus on my family.

Garden Walk Blanket: Free Crochet Pattern

Hello, lovely! I have a surprise pattern drop for you today! This is my much anticipated Garden Walk Crochet Blanket Pattern. It features a traditional and solid granny as well as a fun and preppy half-striped square. This pattern was offered as a free promo by Interweave Press during the promotion of my book, The Art of Crochet Blankets. Now my book has switched hands to Penguin Random House, and the free promo is no longer offered, so I begged and pleaded to have the copyright returned to me so that I could share it with you all!

Free Crochet Pattern: Namaste Hula Hoop Mandala (Aran Wt.)

Published by

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 …
