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 – …

Hello, lovely! I have a surprise pattern drop for you today! This is my much anticipated Garden Walk Crochet Blanket Pattern.

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

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).
