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.

TagsFour Seasons Blanket
"This fun and colorful Four Seasons crochet blanket is made up of four separate corner to corner (c2c) graphs: winter, spring, summer and fall. After crocheting each graph, you simply sew them together and add a border. It's super easy! You'll need worsted weight yarn in white, blue, green, yellow and orange. You'll also need an I 5.5mm crochet hook, a tapestry needle and supplies (blocking boards, pins and a spray bottle) for blocking your crochet."
Christmas Blanket
"I had so much fun designing and crocheting this corner to corner (c2c) Christmas blanket! From top to bottom and left to right the animals are a llama, sloth, reindeer and a French Bulldog. Which is your favorite? Let me know over on Instagram! I love all of them but I think the reindeer is my favorite. If you're not up to the task of crocheting four animal graphs, you could easily turn any of the c2c crochet blanket graphs into wall art. "
C2c Llama
"If you're looking for corner to corner crochet llama patterns, look no further! This adorable corner to corner (C2C) Llama wearing heart shaped glasses is just one of four llama patterns that I am designing for a corner to corner graphghan. If you're not up to the task of crocheting four llama graphs, you could easily turn this llama into wall art or add a few more rounds of the border for a small baby blanket. These fun and free corner to corner animal graphs are perfect for beginner crocheters who want to learn corner to corner crochet."
Dinosaur Blanket
Our youngest, Mark, is turning 7 this month. Since he loves dinosaurs, I thought it would be fun to make a dinosaur blanket for him and share the pattern with you all. I hope you love it as much as Mark does! You'll need an I/5.5mm crochet hook and worsted weight yarn in gray, two shades of green, a tiny bit of black and orange. My free pattern includes a downloadable PDF pixel graph and written instructions.
There You Go Throw
The There You Go Throw is a two tone join as you go blanket made of 6-inch squares - graphic, eye-catching, and so much fun to crochet! Fans of My Big Fat Greek Wedding might understand the inspiration for the name! When I was trying to come up with a name (always the hardest part!), I was talking to some friends about how it reminded me so much of Greek graphic patterns - especially the colors! - and the movie came up. My friend Terri loves it as much as I do, and we decided to quote the character Gus, who loves to explain how things are Greek (even things that aren’t), and always ends it with ”…there you go!” Much like some of Gus’s explanations, this blanket isn’t Greek, but it is join as you go (aka quick to crochet), based on the basic granny square, and ready to make in any size desired for the perfect gift or personal pick-me-up - so There You Go!
