Afghans and Blankets
Here we are again with the next instalment to the Yarn Stash Series. I have a seriously large yarn stash and I know lots of you do too so my mission is to make tutorials and patterns for you to enjoy. The Granny Block Blanket is a classic that anyone can tackle. All you need is a bunch of your favourite colour yarns from your stash and you're away. The stitch uses a simple repeat so is perfect for beginners to practise technique and tension or a mindless project for the more experienced to enjoy in front of the sofa.

Sofa Sweet Sofa
Afghans and Blankets
Use this free crochet blanket pattern to make a fun couch blanket for everyone in the family to enjoy!
From the blogger:"Sofa Sweet Sofa is a cozy crochet sofa throw that is quick to make and oh-so luxurious to use. This blanket is great to nap under, and it can also be shared. The yarn is soft and fluffy, thus making the throw warm and comfy. The giant shells give it a fun look and also make it quick to crochet. In addition, it's perfect for cuddling under with Amir the Elephant, whom I shared with you a few weeks ago!"
Stitch Away Stress Lemon Blanket Square
Afghans and Blankets
Warm Up America! is a charity which accepts blanket squares or "sections" that volunteers seam together into blankets. Crochet this lemon section to donate! Each April, the Craft Yarn Council in conjunction with Warm Up America! invites you to Stitch Away Stress. Crochet, as you know, is such a wonderfully soothing activity. Lemons have become the emblem for this promotion because the first pattern designed for Stitch Away Stress was a cute lemon stress ball! This cheery motif is wonderful for lemon lovers to work up year-round. Section together your own beautiful lemon afghan, or donate these sections to a wonderful cause.

Ripple Afghan For Beginners
Afghans and Blankets
This ripple (chevron) afghan is a classic and was created specifically for beginners. My grandmother (and many others, I'm sure!) created afghans like this and this pattern was created in remembrance of her. Wrap yourself in your very own ripple throw blanket with this easy, beginner friendly pattern. You will need to know how to single crochet, double crochet and change colors. You will also need to know how to "dc3tog" (double crochet three together. Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull through stitch. Yarn over, pull through two loops on hook- two loops on hook. Repeat two more times until four loops are on hook. Yarn over, pull through all four loops.) Yarn used in this pattern is Lion Brand Pound of Love in medium (4) weight. Pattern is easy to follow once started and works up quickly.
