I don't know about you, but the color of seafoam is so relaxing to me. It brings to mind a beautiful summer day on a sunny beach with waves foaming on the sand. The smell of the fresh water and sound of waves and birds chirping....Ahhhh
Enjoy the refreshing summer breeze in your home with the beautiful Sea Breeze Home Decor crochet pattern collection.

Free Sea Breeze Pillow crochet patterns

***This post contains affiliate links for which I may receive a small commission for purchases at no extra cost to you**

I'm thrilled to bring you a new home decor collection for spring and summer!
Back in 2016, I submitted a design to a magazine for the first time. I was so excited when they accepted it and purchased the pattern. The Sea Breeze Throw was published in the June 2017 issue of Crochet World Magazine along with many other fun and summery projects.

When I decided to do a complete home decor collection for each of my siblings for Christmas 2018, I wasn't sure I would have enough time to complete them all (Read more about that HERE). I still had a sample of the Sea Breeze Throw that I worked up for the magazine and thought it would be nice to design coordinating pillows. I contacted Annie's to see if they would give me permission to use the afghan for more photos and thankfully they agreed.

Sea Breeze Home Decor Crochet Pattern Collection

This was the final piece to my Handmade Christmas project and was gifted to my parents. I thought it only fitting that my mom receive this blanket since she taught me to crochet. I had a 2nd sample that I made and was able to give that one to my grandma who passed her talent to me.

To carry on this gift, I've decided to release each of the Sea Breeze Pillow patterns for free here on my blog. You can still purchase the digital copy of the magazine with the Sea Breeze Throw pattern HERE: Anniescatalog.com
