Free Crochet Pattern: Dragonfly Chevron Baby Blanket
Dragonfly Chevron Baby Blanket I can't seem to get enough of these adorable little dragonflies! This blanket features the little critters in a sweet chevron design. I worked it in 4 colors but really it would look great with any number of colors or even in one solid color to show off the texture. I usually work baby blankets in a light worsted, such as Red Heart Soft, but for this one I wanted to try something a little finer and found that this DK weight worked out well. If you prefer … [Read more...] about Free Crochet Pattern: Dragonfly Chevron Baby Blanket

NEW Crochet Pattern – Pearls & Lace Blankie
A few weeks ago I found out that my cousin was having twin baby girls. Well of course that knowledge gave me all the excuse I needed to pull out the pink baby yarn! Â I was inspired by pearls and lace and designed the blanket with rows of "pearls" offset by textured rows and the border adds the lace. For the new twins, I made them the "same" but not exact, by switching up the colors...white pearls for one, pink pearls for the other! Â I love them both and hope the new babies will love them too. … [Read more...] about NEW Crochet Pattern – Pearls & Lace Blankie
