Afghans and Blankets
The Serenity Blanket is a beautiful summery throw style blanket! Use this blanket as decor in your home or take it out for a picnic at the park! The Serenity Blanket crochet pattern is made using cotton worsted (#4) weight yarn in up to 6 different colors of your choice. I used I Love This Cotton! from Hobby Lobby. It's a nice soft cotton and a true worsted weight. You will need approximately 1,710 yards total. For the main color you'll need around 360 yards, and for each contrasting color you'll need around 270 yards. The throw is approximately 58″ x 42″, but the pattern comes with the multiples used to create a blanket in any size you prefer. This pattern is rated Easy in pattern difficulty. It is a very repetitive and simple stitch combo.

Afghans and Blankets
The Granny Square Kid’s picnic blanket is just the pattern to create a cute, snuggly blanket that you can use so many ways. Toss it over the back of an armchair for decorative purposes, bring it out for a picnic, or, like the name says - give it to your kids. You make this pattern by working in squares, which makes it a fun project to take with you on the go. You don't have to carry the whole blanket with you, but can carry it in squares until you're ready to work all the squares together into the finished project.
Tried and True Beginner Blanket
Afghans and Blankets
I have been teaching beginners (read: novice/first time crocheters) to crochet for a couple of years. My favorite projects are any that include a super bulky yarn and a 15 mm hook. Why? These projects can be started and finished in one class and the beginner can leave with a hat on their head (or a cowl around their neck). I designed this blanket with the true beginner in mind. Maybe you took a class, or a friend taught you the single crochet. You’ve made a stack of hats, but you want more! This is the project for you. You will learn the four basic stitches and how to work in rows (working in rows is a beginner skill, but I don't like teaching it for a first time crocheter). I have added notes here and there to help guide you and give you an understanding on the basics of pattern-reading. I have also included a full photo tutorial for each stitch to help you along your way.
Easy Waves Crochet Blanket Pattern

The Easy Waves Crochet Blanket Pattern provides a repetitive pattern while relaxing. This piece of fabric is textured with a fun and easy pattern. You can made it a more fun modern piece by using a fun, bold color of yarn. This blanket sample is made in a baby size, although we have made it easy to adjust sizes with the multiples given below. As a little refresher, multiples are used for example as many groups of 2 chain stitch to your desired length plus 1 for the turning chain or any even/odd number you desire.
Katie Baby Blanket
Afghans and Blankets
The Katie Baby Blanket is a beautiful and dainty blanket project that will make a lovely gift for a new baby! I used Paintbox Yarns Simply DK yarn in the colorway Ballet Pink to create the baby blanket. This yarn is one of my favorite DK (#3) weight yarns. The crochet pattern is rated Easy in pattern difficulty. This baby blanket pattern uses basic stitch combos to create this light lacy look to it! The blanket measures 32" x 32", but the pattern also comes with multiples to adjust the sizing.
