Tried and True Beginner Blanket
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.
Primrose Crochet Blanket
The primrose blanket is a floral design, perfect for cooling summer evenings but also great as a crib blanket or stroller blanket. Its made out of a slowly variegating yarn and a constant colour, used for joining and bordering. The variegating yarn will make each flower unique, and together they form a summery blanket! This pattern calls for 5 skeins of Scheepjeswol Invicta colour, and 4 skeins of Invicta extra. It is worked with a 3,0 mm crochet needle. The pattern is join-as-you-go, so you can choose to work up a few motives first, but if thats not your cup of tea you can also choose to add new motives to the growing blanket immediately. The choice is yours! The finished blanket measures 80 x 120 cm. However, with a couple of extra skeins you can easily make a large blanket. The joining and border are both modular and will accomodate every size. So no worries!
Touch of Southern Warmth
You'll love how easy it really is to make the Touch of Southern Warmth blanket! The Bernat Blanket yarn is simply amazing and you'll be surprised at how quick the project actually grows. While I designed this project with a "guy" in mind, simply changing the colors will totally make it a girly project too! Just pick out your yarn and get started! It would make a great housewarming gift, Christmas Present, or even something to keep for yourself!
Magnolia, A Lace "Granny" Square Pattern
It's easy to crochet a beautiful, lace "granny" square afghan with this flower-inspired crochet pattern! Post stitches create the outline of a Magnolia blossom in the center of the square, while clusters and puffs create a lacy border. Granny squares can be used to crochet your own unique blanket, and they are quick and easy projects that you can take anywhere in your project bag. The Magnolia square will give you a warm, but lacy looking afghan when you sew it together, and with a lace boarder it will have a vintage/heirloom feel.
