Big Bloom Blanket

The Big Bloom Blanket is cozy, casual, and creates a simple, modern floral afghan with an easy to memorize repeat! And it's a free crochet pattern featuring Caron Simply Soft, on Moogly! The Big Bloom Blanket features a stitch pattern that I used on some holiday patterns in the past - and it's a reader request! However, I've updated it this round, making it even easier to crochet, and adding more texture, with fewer color changes. This makes this pattern a great one to relax with, and gives it a great floral look! While I designed the Big Bloom Blanket to use just 2 skeins each of 3 colors of Caron Simply Soft, this pattern can keep growing as long as you keep crocheting! It's also a great scrapghan pattern - be sure to read the Notes in the pattern for more sizing info!

This sweet blankie in the pictures below is made using Bernat Blanket yarn and it's so wintry, lofty and incredibly comfy! The colors are so vivid and cheerful. In other words, great for brightening up your home and the gloomy and grey days a bit more sunny.

Samantha’s Blankie

• Designed by Ann Saglimbene

This cute, delicate blankie on the pictures below was made by Ann Saglimbene and it has the sweetest hearts in the center of each square. What's more, the edging looks so vintage and rustic! In other words, if you're looking for a classic baby blankie, this one might be the one for you!

Sleepy Blocks Blankie

The Sleepy Blocks Blankie is a cute and cuddly free baby blanket pattern worked up using colorful variegated yarn. The dynamic stitch pattern and bulky yarn result in an extra squishy blanket that is perfect for playtime and newborn photos. Using half double crochet stitches, this pattern results in a tight weave fabric, which reduces the risk of babies getting their little fingers stuck in the yarn. Since this pattern uses a variegated, chunky yarn and a simple 2-row repeat for a quick pattern that will fly right off the hook!

Bahama Waves Free Crochet Pattern

• Designed by Lisa Rollins

This great, repetitive blankie is such great project, that you can do without even thinking about it! In other words, it's perfect to take your mind off things, and the wavy pattern is very eye pleasing and soothing, so great for a baby blankie.

HBC Grey-Scale Inspired Blanket

The Hudson's Bay Company was founded in Canada in the 1600's and still endures today. With its iconic colours (and its more modern, turn of the new millennium, grey-scale) it's "stripe spotting" branding is known worldwide. For my blanket I opted to use the grey-scale as it fits nicely with the colour scheme I plan to use in my little boys room. The pattern would also look wonderful in the vintage HBC colours! Give it a go!!! If you make one please share a picture; I would love to see it!
