Lavender Blanket - C2C Blanket - FREE GRAPH

I'm excited to share this next design in my storybook flower series. This design features a Lavender plant- and I can almost smell it through the screen! I plan on planting several lavender plants in my yard when we finally re-landscape it. They are one of my favorite flowers! I hope you enjoy this design!

Rose C2C Blanket - FREE GRAPH

Here is the next design in my flower series. This is the Rose C2C Blanket. This one was also inspired by the storybook cover style and while I wanted to continue with the two-toned design trend, I just loved the depth that the color brings to the rose. I hope you enjoy this design!




And I have also included yarn colors for a WHITE rose variation! Doesn't it look so COOL!

Lily Flower C2C Blanket - FREE GRAPH

I can't believe it's been a YEAR since my last blog post. I am SHOCKED because I have still been crafting plenty, and still coming up with designs, but I just couldn't take anything to the finish line! BUT NOT THIS YEAR! I'm so excited to get back into the saddle and start publishing my patterns again. 

I hope you love this one! This is the Lily C2C Blanket. I was inspired by the style of classic storybook covers and wanted to create designs that featured flowers in that style. So this was born! I have a few more coming out, so be on the look out!

Crochet King Snake - FREE CROCHET PATTERN

I was attending a craft fair earlier this month, and I needed to make a variety of items at reasonable prices. HOWEVER, the market needed a raffle item valued at $25+, and none of my items were priced that high. My items were all smaller plushies priced with kids in mind. So I began searching some crochet groups on Facebook to try and get some ideas. I saw a really cool snake pattern that everyone was commenting on. When I initially attempted the pattern, I found it was just WAY to big for the blanket yarn, and while I needed a larger finished product, I didn't want one THAT large. So I went to work trying different possibilities to make a smaller, BABY snake. Then I needed to decide on color combinations... and I decided to make this one more realistic! I looked up a ton of different snake color combinations to find one that would look amazing in crochet, and I found one- the KING SNAKE!

Autumn Leaves C2C Blanket - FREE GRAPH

This is a gorgeous time of year, when the leaves change color and nature seems to be falling asleep. We don't get a whole lot of color change here in San Diego, but the shorter nights and cooler weather does give us an Autumn vibe. We always get very excited when we drive by a tree that actually changes colors with the seasons! So here you can make your own Autumn themed blanket!

Plush Market Hearts - FREE CROCHET PATTERN

Hearts are a beautiful symbol of love. TEN YEARS AGO ago I crocheted some plush hearts for my girls. They loved them when I made them from worsted weight yarn, because they fit in their hands perfectly. I got a hold of some blanket yarn this summer, and wanted to make some new hearts to sell in my upcoming market. My (now older) kids love these ones just as much as the little ones. The blanket yarn makes them squishy and huggable!

Celestial C2C Blanket - FREE GRAPH

When I was a kid, I loved the stars. I had a telescope and was fascinated by the expanse above us. I loved stars and the constellations. I loved the stories that history passed down to us with zodiacs and the constellations. I loved that navigation was possible using the stars as a compass. I designed this blanket for all those who love celestial beings, the sun, moon and stars! I was able to incorporate the Sun, Moon, and Stars in this design. I loved that I was able to include the phases of the moon. I think it made it look beautiful! I hope you enjoy this design!
