Crochet Cat’s Cradle Blanket: Easy 2 Row Repeat (I made it for under $30!)

I love the little twist this stitch makes!  This yarn has beautiful, soft colors that gradually change, making it look striped. It’s a 2 row repeat, just sc and hdc slip stitch, explained in the pattern and on the video. I used Premier Puzzle bulky 5 weight yarn in the color Cat’s Cradle.   I used less than 5 skeins and at the time I’m writing this, it was still $5.99 a skein at Walmart!  So,…

Christmas Tree Skirt

I tried several combinations of stitches and this is the easiest pattern I could come up with that still has texture and interest. I also wanted it to be circular, with no zig zags or ruffles. It’s very easy to follow and works up pretty quickly.   You can add buttons to the edge if you like.  The stitches are loose enough to act as button holes. Most tree skirts are anywhere from 36” across…

Crochet Mini Bean Stitch Blanket

This blanket is crazy soft and has great texture thanks to the mini bean stitch.  I chose this over the bean stitch because this yarn is nice and thick and it saves yarn!   The mini bean stitch is a 1 row repeat pattern.  It works up quickly and this yarn is a pleasure to work with.  My husband couldn’t believe how fast I made it.   This would be a great gift or a keeper!  I’m going to use it…
