The 2022 VVCAL will begin March 4th, and run through July 15th. It is a slow-paced CAL with 20 weeks.

This is a pattern bundle with 5 easy crochet blankets that are perfect for beginners!

Linen Stitch is such a versatile stitch, and I have used it on several blankets in the past. I loved it so much, I decided to make a series with Linen Stitch Blankets!

THIS LISTING IS A HUGE BUNDLE

In January, I decided to create a series of blanket patterns that were designed with an air of peacefulness and tranquility. I’ve been saying lately: Crochet is meant to de-stress you, not re-stress you. The high strung and tightly wound among you will undoubtedly want to frustratedly obsess over every pattern element.

Hello

This blanket is created with gorgeous mandala motif and a clever join that puts the motifs in a staggered hexagon layout. An afterthought zero-waste border is the perfect finish!

Panel pattern can also be used to make a scarf! Photos included

19 lovely crochet borders to add to any blanket. Now all of my blanket borders are in one place across 2 volumes collections!

The Gumball blanket is a fun pattern with a circle to square motif. This updated version now includes a detailed continuous join as you go instruction! After the blanket body is created, a simple border completes the piece. Any border can be substituted, but I believe the bright colored spots call for simplicity. Working from stash? Try holding...

The Chevronnie Crochet Blanket in Scheepjes Chunky Monkey is an idea that I had years ago. My goal was to create a chevron linen stitch blanket that would be worked up in join as you go panels. Read on for a little throwback photo of the first rendition of what would later become the Chevronnie Blanket. The final outcome is superb! Read on to s...

The Runway Square is perfect for when you need a lacy motif that is not too delicate. There is a lot of integrity in the square, and yet it retains that open look. To create something engaging and still simple, I have kept the more complex portions at the center of the square, and the outer rounds can be worked while watching your favorite show...

Equinox is a bold floral square that is perfect for any season. You’re sure to enjoy the fun petals at the center and the leafy final border rounds are so simple and satisfying. I enjoyed designing this one, and I hope you love making it!

All yarn info and weekly CAL info, and any other variety extras have been removed from this page to make the...

I have been working on this shawlette for a little while and have really enjoyed making something that’s quasi-blanketarian, but a smaller and faster project. It’s like a small half blanket and just as engaging and lovely. I mentioned this once or thrice, but expect more shawl patterns in my future!

After you work up the Sierra Blanket, it will become your go-to project any time you need a piece made quickly. The clever construction starts with large striped triangles and then the stripes continue in a deep chevron pattern until desired length is reached. Finally, the top edge is squared off, and a simple border is added for the perfect fi...

First in a series of six “Relaxghans”, Unbothered (named for the completely haphazard color choices and square orientation) is a stash buster and a remnant eater made of five different square patterns, all joined as you go. A super simple, no-waste border edges the piece, and when it’s all finished, you’ll have a soft and cozy reminder of the p...

Indigo Blossom is a piece that celebrates the gorgeous photos that Jessica Wilkinson (@VanillaLemonCake on Instagram) shares of her garden flowers laid with careful intention upon a dyed indigo handkerchief. The juxtaposition of bright colorful flowers mixed with striking indigo is a delight.

The Hundred Chain Scarf is a lovely on-the-bias wearable that incorporates fan and V stitch, linen stitch, and the ultimate comfort: granny stitch. It’s the perfect piece for the holidays, with a gorgeous and cozy feel, as well as a fast making process for last minute gifting.

Big Leaf Border looks like a row of cute leaves around your project – perfect for those Spring or Fall items! Set off with the always neat and tidy Reverse Single Crochet, this edging is sure to be your go-to wide border choice.

Autumn Blues is a decidedly moody piece that will lead you gracefully from the bright light of summer into the contemplative atmosphere of the fall season. Autumn is the season of change, and it’s the perfect time to gear up for those upcoming resolutions. Get cozy and settle into yourself. Meditate inwardly as you accept the things you cannot ...

Island Wildflower is a simple design using elements of crochet that you have probably used in the past, such as sunburst squares and granny stitch, and combining them in a new way. The result is a unique and opulent piece that will garner endless compliments. Use any favorite color combination as this beauty will make your stash yarn look great...

Row by Row JAYG is a method for joining granny squares for a blanket. It is a simplified alternative to the continuous join-as-you-go, because it is worked in horizontal rows, then in vertical rows, until the entire blanket is joined. Because the joins are worked to and fro, I have nicknamed this the “Boomerang Join.”

One Love is a free granny square pattern to celebrate Granny Square Day 2017! Enjoy!

Seaglass is a unique piece that takes two classic elements of crochet, the granny square and chevron ripple, and combines them with breezy ocean colors for a nautical look. The combo of different stitches will keep your interest, and you may learn some new techniques along the way!

Flowers and stripes combine in this amazing asymmetric design. By Rachele Carmona. Pretty flower motifs in green, petrol blue and dusky mauve adorn one end of this scarf, while bold, coastal-themed blue and white stripes blaze down the other half, creating a unique and contemporary shawl like no other. Wear with pride.

Namaste Chunky is a beautiful mandala design that you can make if you have several super bulky weight yarns on hand. It will make your remnants look beautiful, especially if you’ve been wondering what to do with all that chunky yarn. I have pulled several yarns from my stash for this project, including some DK weight yarns which I have used hel...

Hearthside is a cozy, colorful piece that will put a smile on your face every time you snuggle underneath. No hearth required, but it will definitely enhance the coze factor. Made in Scheepjes Secret Garden, this blanket is as delightful to make as it is to wrap up in. Have fun using all of the solid colors and three coordinating multis for two...

Rebecca Möbius Scarf is the perfect project if you’re trying to make something for that special hipster in your life. Picky? No problem! This scarf will be appreciated by anyone, and there is an alternate version without the beads to widen the wearability even more. Here, I’ve used Scheepjes Whirl in Blueberry Bambam, alternating from the cente...

Gemma is a sweet and stylish geometric baby blanket made in chunky Stone Washed XL. I named her Gemma after the diamond shapes, but coincidentally, all of the colors of Stone Washed are named for gemstones. It was meant to be! If you need a fast baby blanket, one option is to use thicker yarn, but the end result can be a boxy and bulky piece. B...

Cottontail Blanket is a super squishy bulky yarn worked up into a cute and simple piece featuring rows of plush bobbles that look like little bunny tails.

Named for its resemblance to moon boots and for those outlandish bobbles, Moon Landing is a unique hexagon blanket that you can make using three different yarn types of a similar weight. Of course the same yarn can also be used throughout. This piece is perfect for any space from a newborn’s crib to a college dorm room. With clever color choice...

Hexagon Burst is a riff on the classic Starburst pattern, with half-motifs to fill in the edges, and a squared-off border. The personality of this piece will change wildly depending on the chosen color palette. Perfect for a stash buster to give life back to your yarn remnants! Included are joining and border instruction.

**** Please note!! I have decided to retain this original listing as Wildflower Blanket.

Celtic Lace Join is very popular! I have made these two thinner versions (not so wide) for y’all to enjoy. These versions are great for smaller size squares. Note: Regular celtic lace join is great for larger squares as it is very wide.

Offset Circles just might be my favorite design yet! I made it with a size H hook in my beloved Stylecraft Special DK Lucy Pack - perfect!! I can’t wait to make it in neutral, sandy tones with pale blues… Luuushh!

Polka Dot is a great way to add a fresh breeze to any room décor. I have included three different sizes of hexagon, and the smaller the hex, the more polka dots will fit in your blanket size. I just adore this pattern and will be making it in a variety of colors! Anything will work! Check pattern for ideas to brainstorm.
