Follow this blog for free patterns (that I create) and updates on my current projects :) I love crocheting and it is a great hobby for me. I aim to make crocheting more accessible for people (which includes free access to content)
Here’s an update on my current project. It’s a blanket for my sister. I got the pattern from Daisy Cottage Designs but I modified it with yarn that my sister picked.
It’s a really easy pattern to work up, which is a nice change of pace from my previous project. Each Cluster V Stitch takes 18 inches of yarn though so I had to roll up so many 1lb balls of yarn in preparation.
I also made the original chain v long because I wanted to make sure it would fit the bed. And boy does it fit...so looks like I might have a queen sized blanket

I am almost done my first ever graphghan (even though it’s honestly more of a lap throw?)
It’s been a really great learning experience. This is my first project ever using bobbins (mainly due to the billions of color changes) and I’ve enjoyed it! The project moves quicker than a C2C and I like how each row has the same number of stitches (unlike a C2C) but I wish the stitches were bigger.
I will post soon with an image of the finished project, the graph, and the written pattern!

* I bought a Lion Pound of Love yarn in pumpkin but I only used 1/3 of it for this project
This is the finished product of my Shamrock C2C blanket! I messed up on a couple of tiles/squares, which you might be able to tell. But overall, I am very happy with the outcome! It is approximately one Me tall and one Me wide, so about 5ft by 5ft :D
Stay tuned for a picture of the graph and a pdf of the written pattern!
So I’ve been working on a C2C blanket for my mom. I am on the back half of hte blanket, so I decrease at the end of every single row. This part of the blanket is flying by, especially because there are long stretches of one color so I can really find my groove.
Place your yarn so the short end is on the left side and the long end is on the right.
Step 2: Make a loop
Bring the long end of the yarn up and over so it lays on top of the short end of the yarn. You should also form a circle with the yarn.
Step 3: Cross the Circle
Carefully pick up the loop you just made and lay the long end of the yarn underneath the loop. Lay the yarn so it is in a straight line and so it cuts the loop in half.
Step 4: Insert your hook
Insert your crochet hook. It should go over the far left side of the loop, under the long end that bisects the loop, and over the far right side of the loop. Over, under, over. This way, the hook should only have one piece of yarn over top of it.
Step 5: Adjust your yarn
Adjust the yarn so the long and short ends are below the hook. Be careful to not move the yarn that is already on the hook.
Step 6: Pull
Now that the yarn is below the hook, grab both the long and short end with your hands and pull tightly. It should create a knot below the hook. Pull on the long end of yarn to tighten the knot so it is closer to the hook. Pull on the short end to loosen the knot and create more space between the knot and the hook.

This photo may look confusing, but it depicts how to make a rectangle. If you notice, one side is shorter than the other. Once you reach the top left corner, you need to start decreasing at the beginning rows in order to create the flat top. For example, row 5 starts with a decrease stitch.
Likewise, the pattern extends another row before the bottom right corner is reached and the opposite side can begin decreasing. So, row 4 and 6 would be a decrease.
This is important to notice because you will see that row 4 will start with an increase stitch but end with a decrease stitch. And then row 5 and 6 will decrease at the beginning and the end.
Patterns that are squares are easier to manage for the decrease because the length and width of the blanket grow and shrink at the same time. So you will always increase or always decrease at the beginning and end of each row.
To follow a C2C pattern, do as the name implies. If you’re a leftie, you’ll go from bottom left corner and finish at the top right corner. If you’re a rightie, you’ll start with the bottom right corner and finish with the top left corner.
You read the patterns on the diagonal. I am a leftie. Odd rows go down on the diagonal and even rows go up. So you snake back and forth in order to read the pattern.
The top part of the photo shows what the graph looks like. I like to cross out my rows as I finish them. I will continue a diagonal line and add an arrow head at the end of each color change to mark where I am in the row.
The bottom part of the photo shows what the written pattern looks like. The downside to only using a written pattern is that it is harder to visualize when to start decreasing rows.
Hello! I am 20 years old, I love to crochet, and I also hate capitalism. So this blog is dedicated to sharing my patterns with the world (for free)! I typically crochet corner-to-corner (C2C) patterns, which are made with a grid. So please, come stay awhile, and share your work-in-progresses (WIP)!
