Modern Double Crochet V-Stitch Chunky Blanket
This modern double crochet v-stitch chunky blanket is a wedding gift. I have had this Caron One Pound yarn in my stash for a while now. Thought it was time to get something made with it. The blanket had to be large enough to cover a queen sized bed. As you can see from the photo, it is large enough. Not too large though so that one or two people can snuggle under it. Additionally, this had to be warm enough to be the go-to blanket on our cold winter nights. Using two strands of yarn makes this a fun and chunky blanket. It also makes for a very warm blanket. I will miss having this cover me up while crocheting when it is below zero here this week. Brrrr. The double crochet stitch is a quick stitch to master and once the pattern is started, there is really little need to count. For me, this makes for a great crochet pattern to work on while watching movies. I think this is a great beginner stitch once you have mastered the double crochet stitch. It is always easy to see where you need to insert your hook in the previous row.
Vivis Color Block Ripple Afghan
Vivi's Color Block Ripple Afghan is a fantastic baby blanket pattern that would be great for a baby boy or girl. The ripple pattern has great texture and the blanket has no holey parts. My wonderful friend and neighbor just had a beautiful baby girl and of course, I had to make her a blanket! She fell in love with Vivi's Color Block Ripple Afghan the moment she saw it. It was just what she wanted for her sweet baby girl and it is definitely something I know she will cherish forever. I am so excited to share this pattern with you. I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!
Ombre Arrows Afghan
An easy crochet afghan that is also modern, this Ombre Arrows Afghan will make the perfect DIY home decoration. Whether you want a stylish DIY throw or a lightweight crochet blanket for all seasons, this afghan has got you covered.
From the Blogger: "The Ombre Arrows Afghan is extremely stretchy and remarkably lightweight, so this crochet blanket is perfect for transitioning between seasons. You can cozy up with it during summer or use it as an extra layer of warmth during the cold weather months. No matter what type of climate you live in, this crochet pattern is fun and functional. The gradient colors of this pattern come together to make a delightful ombre effect. Ombre is very on trend right now and the white stitches produce a visually appealing arrow pattern. Use this crochet pattern as a fun throw or proudly display it on your bed.
Unicorn Character Afghan
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.
Snowdrifts Afghan
Lion Brand put together an amazing collection of patterns for the 12 Weeks of Christmas - and one of those patterns is the Snowdrifts Afghan! The Snowdrifts Afghan features a stitch pattern I started using last Christmas season - but this time I've paired it with squishy sparkly Wool-Ease Thick and Quick! The two colorways used - Mystical and Celebration - both feature a gorgeous and eye-catching metallic thread. It's not easy to capture on camera, but in person, it gives this blanket a lot of oomph!
