Mermaid Tail Blanket

Afghans and Blankets

Children of all ages enjoy playing dress up and imagining that they are someone else, and if they can become a magical character that only makes the activity more fun. This blanket is not only beautiful, but also allows the person wearing it to transform themselves into a mermaid complete with a fin that they can swish around. The pattern has instructions for three sizes so you can make this mermaid tail to fit a small child or an adult with a childlike imagination.

Rainbow Mermaid Tail Blanket  Scarf

Mermaids are mythical, magical creatures that always bring a smile to your face. Perhaps the only thing more likely to do is a rainbow-combine the two and you've got a practically perfect pattern!

This crochet pattern uses a shell stitch that looks a lot like the scales of a mermaid. In addition to crochet shell stitch, this pattern uses post stitches as well as basic stitches, including double crochet.

What's really neat about this crochet pattern is that it's designed as a classic mermaid tail blanket, but it can also be adapted to wear as a scarf.

Unicorn Character Afghan

Afghans and Blankets

I am so excited to share that my Unicorn Character Afghan is finally done! I had so much fun with the entire process; from designing the pixel graphs to crocheting and watching each graph look more and more like each unicorn character. My free pattern includes a pixel graph and a written pattern for each of the four unicorn characters: llamacorn, unicorn, caticorn and puppycorn. I used worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Super Saver) and an H/5mm size crochet hook.
