I decided to use this stunning and yummy Red Heart Super Saver “Retro Stripes” to revamp my Optical Illusion Baby Blanket. I LOVE my first version… but not everyone wants to change colors THAT many times!!! The Red Heart Stripes worked up beautifully with this design… and with minimal yarn ends to weave in! The entire process of making this blanket was exciting. The color changes are different and unique with each square, preventing me from getting jaded."
One of my favorite crochet projects to work on is the humble and sweet baby blanket. Not only are baby blankets adorable, they're also super quick and easy to make. Also, they mean the world to the parents who receive your beautiful gift and will likely treasure it for years to come. This Cross-Over stitch blanket is super easy to make and like many of my patterns, once you get started, you can practically make it with your eyes closed.
According to the designer, "Ella the Elephant Lovey is cute, cuddly, and loves spinning in circles! The perfect gift for any baby, they'll never forget how cute this free crochet pattern is!"

Who is ready for spring and the warmer weather that comes with it? I know I am! I thought it would be fun to design a spring themed baby blanket. This adorable Baby Bunny Blanket is worked corner to corner (c2c). You can follow the written instructions or the pixel graph. It's a pretty quick project. You won't have too many ends to weave in which is always a bonus! I hope you like it!
In selecting the colours for this throw, I used these lavender bushes as my inspiration. The Lavender Throw is worked (as one piece) in blocks of differing shade of purple, which are further accented by a fisherman's white. It is made with a worsted weight yarn, a great weight for the changing seasons. It is constructed with the moss stitch, a series of single crochet and chain stitches. The bold blocks of colour make for endless colour combinations.
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.
