sneak peek.

Bernat Blanket is a super bulky yarn with the texture of chenille, so everyone that comes into my house not only oohs and ahhs, but they immediately have to go over and touch this super soft and chunky throw...

The pattern for this trendy chevron throw is almost done, so it won't be long until you are able to crochet one up for yourself!

quatrefoil throw - new crochet pattern by tara schreyer.

 

Skill Level: Easy

The quatrefoil is a geometric design that I am in love with. In this design, I’ve incorporated it with another one of my loves, that of filet crochet. Puts a modern spin on an old classic!

I chose to create this throw in a cotton blend, which gave it beautiful drape and some weight although done in a finer fiber. You can easily switch up its look and create a larger blanket by working it up in a heavier yarn. I can’t wait to see some of your projects!!

The pattern calls for 30 balls (3300 yards) of Knit Picks Shine Sport which is a fingering (2) weight but any comparable yarn can be substituted.

The throw measures 56” (142 cm) wide x 76” (193 cm) length.

The pattern consists of a chart of the quatrefoil design along with a few written instructions to get you started and written instructions for the border.

This blanket has been in the works for quite some time, but as we finish up these winter months, and head into beautiful spring this seemed like the perfect time of year to release it!!!  It is made with a blended cotton, so lighter than your average throw, but still warm and cozy.

This afghan is made using the popular filet crochet technique but done with a modern twist. I'm hard at work and hoping to release the pattern very soon.

new crochet pattern - basket of owls baby blanket by kim miller.

 

Basket of Owls Baby Blanket by Kim Miller

Skill Level: Intermediate

This gorgeous, cabled baby blanket is full of texture, and will make a timeless gift that is sure be enjoyed and treasured for years.

This crochet baby blanket, featuring a border of 16 cabled owls, is worked from the center out. The owls buttons eyes are attached as you go, making it safer for baby. Also, the textured stitches hide the join at the end of each round, so other than the last few rounds of the owl panel (as shown in the last picture) the border is barely noticeable.

This crochet pattern includes lots of colour pictures to help you to successfully complete your project, but please note that the pattern is written in a condensed manner, so good pattern reading skills is recommended. The pattern calls for 4½ skeins of Berroco Vintage worsted weight yarn [100 g (3.5 oz)/200 meters (217 yards) per skein], and 32 – 16 mm (5/8”) buttons. The pattern uses the following stitches and techniques: adjustable ring, ch, sc, hdc, dc, fpdc, bpdc, fptr and picot and cluster. Instructions for the latter 5 stitches are included.

Finished Size: Unblocked = 68.6 cm (27”) by 68.6 cm (27”). Blocked = 71 cm (28”) by 71 cm (28”). Please note that the size is approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of yarn.

sneak peek.

The crochet pattern for this baby blanket was inspired by a very dear and sweet customer. It just so happens that as I was pondering a design for a square baby blanket, one of our customers contacted us, and suggested designing a pattern for a square baby blanket with a cabled owl border. I was immediately inspired and spent the rest of the day looking at stitch dictionaries and researching yarn.

 

Working from the center out presented all sorts of design challenges! After much frustration and tearing out, I'm so pleased with the finished results and happy to share with you a sneak peek.....

 

 

Just a few details to work out and the pattern for the "Basket of Owls Baby Blanket" will be ready for publication.
