Seaside Crochet Blanket

I'm so happy to be able to share my latest blanket pattern with you.  I've been working on the blanket and pattern off and on since late last year.  This blanket is perfect for beginners because the only stitches used are chains and trebles.  

The colour palette here was inspired by seaside colours, however the design lends itself well to a whole host of colour combinations.

Wishing you loads of fun working on this design, and if you do change the colours i'd love to see a photo of your completed blanket.

Coming Soon: Gemstone Blanket 'Energised'

Hello there! 

There is a new project on my hook and all will be revealed soon.

I'm so excited to share this with you.  It's going to be the first in a series of blankets inspired by my love of gemstones and crystals.

Another Alternative use for the Sunny Sunflowers Motif.

Do you love my Sunny Sunflower crochet square pattern that I released two weeks ago but you don't want to make a blanket?

Here's another fun idea!  Make the central part of the motif, fold in half and stitch a portion of the edges together where they meet, forming a wedge shaped napkin and cutlery holder.

A lovely addition to your autumnal table settings for Weddings, Halloween, Autumn or any other celebration.

I love finding the versatility within my projects while designing them.

You'll find the pattern at www.weediflowercreations.com

PS - Take a look in the post below for another alternative idea.

Crocheted Granny Stripe Blanket

By Karen Wiederhold

Nothing like a stripey granny crochet blanket to snuggle up with on a chilly evening. 

I made this a few years ago to fit our king-size bed so as you can image it's large and heavy. It was especially so while it was piled up on my lap during sessions of hooking.

The yarn used is Stylecraft Special Double Knit yarn, crocheted with a 3.5mm hook. 

I didn't write out a pattern as its a simple foundation row, followed by rows of granny stitches.











Disclosure:  Yarn purchased by me.  This is not a sponsored or subsidised pattern or blogpost. 


Style craft DK yarn purchased by me from Wool Warehouse.

I joined the motifs together by working single crochet on the outward facing edges to form a defined border between each square.

First I joined five squares together at a time, then when I had five strips, I joined these together.  The finishing edge around the whole piece is worked in double crochet stitches.

To make a cushion: Make two pieces as shown in the photo above, or make one piece as shown above and a second one as a single large Granny Square.

Place the pieces together with the right sides facing out and crochet three of the sides together using Double Crochet stitches.  Place the cushion pad inside and crochet the final side together.
