This blanket was inspired by the bright, interactive illustrations of Herve Tullet. A blanket coupled with a board book makes a great baby gift. Instructions are given for using scrap yarn to complete the project while still achieving the color-blending look. The pattern is easily adjusted to be bigger or smaller using the circle-in-a-square granny square motif. The blanket as written measures 34" square and uses about 750 yards of yarn in six different bright colors.
My love for making crochet afghans has grown a lot over the past year. I released a variety of styles in 2019, but I hadn't made a hexagon afghan before so I thought that should be next on my list of projects. The Succulent Spring Hexagon Afghan was designed while traveling to visit crochet friends a couple months ago. It ended up being the perfect project for the airport and plane rides as I didn't have to carry around a half finished afghan all at once. I packed the finished hexagons in my luggage and kept the pieces I was working on in my carry-on.
The Bobble Ripple Baby Blanket is absolutely adorable and i can't wait for you to try it out! Years ago i made a bobble ripple baby blanket and released it on an old crochet blog but i have revamped it and made it with two strands of Stylecraft Special DK so it has now become a chunky blanket and it is so cute! I found making it chunkier the bobbles really pop and it made it even more quicker to crochet. You may recognize this stitch as i made a shawl out of it a while ago called the Bobble Ripple Shawl and this shawl has been very popular with Truly Crochet readers. The PDF paid version of this pattern features the multiples so you can crochet this blanket in whatever size you would like and in whatever weight yarn that you like!

This crochet fireside throw blanket will look so beautiful this fall. The colors remind me of an autumn sunset or a warm fire burning in the fireplace. I love to use crochet items that are useful to help bring the colors of the season into my home decor. Have you ever stood in the yarn store or in your yarn stash and let your yarn tell you what your next project will be? I do that often. Sometimes, I will have a project that I plan on doing; look through my yarn stash, and end up making something completely different. Seems crazy, right? At times, when digging through the yarn, a color combination will jump out at me and gives me inspiration. This blanket is made using the block stitch that has been slightly modified. In the past, when I have crocheted the block stitch, alternating the yarn colors every other row left a ton of yarn ends to be weaved in. Therefore, while I love the look of the block stitch, the sewing in of the yarn ends made me veer away from this beautiful stitch. Carry the Yarn up the Side of the Blanket! Yup, no more weaving in tons of yarn with each color change. It was not easy to figure out.

The Rorschach Square is a fun design that got its name from the feature of Palm Trees…Or a snowflake…Or a water fountain…Or Angels…what do YOU see? Just like the Rorschach test, the design changes with the person. This is a 6 inch square when worked up in Worsted weight yarn, but it can be worked up in any weight yarn to change its size. I think shrinking it down and making earrings could be so fun!
