Over a year ago, my dear friend Mandy found out that her colon cancer returned and not in good places. It decided to take up residence in her liver, spleen, and lungs. So, I did what a crocheter does, and made her a blanket.

Hello, Hannah here, I had a lot of leftover colors from my colorful velvet twist headbands, so I decided to make a fun colorful baby blanket! When I first posted a work in progress shot of this blanket on Instagram someone said it reminded them of a chandelier and we couldn't think of a better name for it, so that's what we're calling it!
I love making this pattern so much! I first learned it five or six years ago and named it a Modern Granny since the little clusters are diamond shape and seemed modern-looking to me. I had no idea at the time that so many of you would love it too.
Neutral colors and a timeless design come together to create Nana's Favorite Baby Blanket. This classic crochet afghan pattern is a perfect crochet pattern to make for any new mom, including yourself! It's essentially a very large, multicolored granny square, so its construction is simple. The size of this particular baby blanket is classified as a "lovey," which means it's pretty small (it's approximately an 18 inch square), but it's super easy to adjust the pattern to make it into a larger blanket by simply continuing to work around the square.
Bust through your yarn stash with this Mindless Crochet Scrapghan pattern. The repetitive nature of this particular crochet afghan pattern makes it the perfect project to work on as you sit and catch up on your favorite TV program. You'll need 4-5 skeins of worsted weight yarn in a single color to complete the pattern, plus a lot of scrap yarn in various colors too add some contrast. Fringe is an optional finishing touch.
How pretty is this crochet throw in the pictures below, right? It's made by Allybobbless and I'm amazed at how intricate and detailed it is. It really looks like stained glass and I'm living for it! If you want to decorate your living room of bed, this project will do more than fine!
