"My husband and my youngest, both named Mark, are big Godzilla fans. Mark had been asking me to make a Godzilla blanket for him so I designed the graphs and got started. That was well over a year ago. I kept taking breaks to design patterns for my blog. Mark kept checking in on my progress so I finally decided to give myself a deadline. I told him that he would have his blanket by his birthday (August 20th). Thankfully, I finished it in time and he loves it! "

"I simply love when you can use a simple crochet stitch and put a twist on it. This creates a beautiful new stitch that looks so much different by just changing a small thing. That is exactly what the Tunisian crochet cross stitch is. Simply put, you work two Tunisian simple stitches but crossed over. It is a super simple technique suitable for beginners. I have used this beautifully textured stitch for a simple afghan block. It would look lovely as part of a Tunisian stitch sampler blanket or cushion cover. You can also make this square with a 100% cotton yarn and use it as a washcloth or a facecloth."

"Sunflowers are a classic end-of summer decorating staple. This beautiful 12" crochet afghan block is just the pattern you need to crochet a blanket for fall as cooler weather is just around the corner. It features a floral design in the center and smaller sunflowers in the corners. You will need up to 4 colors of #4 worsted weight yarn for this project. You can follow my color scheme or come up with your own!"

"This is Madison. Madison is a 12-inch Afghan Square that is crocheted using a dropped double crochet technique. This pattern is easy and each row is worked in a single color of yarn. You only need to know how to crochet single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), chain stitches (ch) and slip stitches (sl st) to make this square. I have provided round by round photos and a video tutorial is also available. This afghan square is crocheted with Red Heart with Love Solids and a 6 mm (J) hook. Madison is one of the 2019 Moogly CAL squares."

"This 7-Hour Crochet Soft Bassinet Blanket works up quick and is soft and comfy too. Just imagine a newborn snuggled in their bassinet sleeping soundly in something you lovingly made. A wonderful project for both beginner and expert alike, this blanket has a repeating rhythm of stitches. Once you get beyond the first row, this pattern works up very quickly without much counting.When crocheting the first row, I tugged a bit on the beginning chain stitches to see where to insert my crochet hook for the next set of stitches. Make sure that you have good lighting for this first row. Once this row is complete, it is easy to see right where to insert your hook as it is between to double crochet stitches."

"The Sweet Summer Ruana is a great garment to use to make a cute summer dress even cuter or to spice up your bathing suit when used as a cover up. Designed with a lovely granny square motif that is joined as you work each square, it creates a gorgeous lace ruana that is just stunning! The pattern has directions to make 3 sizes of ruana that are suitable for sizes small to 3XL. (bust measurements 32” to 55” The sample is made with Paintbox yarns Cotton DK, which is a weight 3 DK cotton yarn. Some suitable substitutes are Lion Brand Coboo or Comfy Cotton, Knit Picks Cotlin, and Novita Cotton Soft. Any weight 3 yarn would work for this project, but I think cotton is preferable to acrylic or wool since it is a summer item."
