It's Crochet Pattern Release time!Over the years, I’ve designed blankets specifically for close and extended family and they’ve all been used and loved. This months new release is one I designed for my 3rd daughter. She’s a little farm girl and would move in with my parents if she could just to be on the farm. She loves the cowgirl / country style and I thought this would be perfect for her. Sadly, she didn’t want it because it didn’t have fringe so I started designing a different blanket for her that will be released early next year. Yes, I know I could have added fringe but I loved this one as it was and it all worked out perfectly with a new blanket for her. That's one of the benefits of loving to make blankets! There is always another one waiting to be created and plenty of family and friends and service opportunities to give them to. In the mean time, I’ll set this one aside for another special person. This one is worked bottom up and I chose to work over the strands of yarn on each row so there wouldn't be a ton of ends to weave in at the end (my LEAST favorite part of color changing). Of course, I had to add some texture so the borders were the perfect canvas for that. I've included a chart of the checkered heart at the end of the pattern to help keep track of the rows you're working. It comes in handy! This crochet pattern is an easy to intermedtiate skill level. If' you're familiar with how to crochet post stitches and read patterns, you should be able to work this one. I hope you'll LOVE the Checkmate Heart Throw and can whip one up for someone you care for this month. Be sure to Pin this page and share the link with your crochet friends so they can enjoy it too! It REALLY helps me out when you spread the word about my patterns and I appreciate your help!!!

Wonderful new textured crochet blanket patternFor years, I have absolutely loved the look of the various wheel stitches. Using color to play up the texture brings an amazing accent to any room. Fringe has always been a fun touch to those blankets that are placed across couches or bed. They give that extra feeling of "Hey, Look at me!" This Ropes and Wheels Blanket would be stunning in a single color and is wonderful in many.

Do not use the chain as a stitch.

Just feeling the skein in the store made me clear the shelves (and I'm not joking!). Mind you, the shelves weren't very full of this yarn so I had to keep checking for more each time I went to town. It took some time to get the amount of yarn I wanted for a few different designs but the wait was SO worth it! If you haven't tried Red Heart Amore yet, don't wait any longer. It is so soft and flexible and comfy and feels like butter to work with. ***This post contains Affiliate links through which I may receive a small commission for purchases made at no extra cost to you*** The Wrapped in Ribbon Blanket is great for year round use! Using the Amore yarn, it drapes nicely and is comfy cozy for cool summer evenings. Using other 4ww yarns (as seen below) make this wonderfully warm for winter too.

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

A few words of encouragement before we start. The skill level for this crochet pattern is considered intermediate because of the use of post stitches and a few other stitches that a beginner may not be familiar with. I will be adding photo & video tutorials to help with those stitches so don't be afraid to try it out! It never hurts to try. While I used Yarnspirations Caron Simply Soft Yarn for my pattern swatch, I will be using Premier Yarn's Everyday yarn for my full blanket. It's all about the color for me and it's ok to use something different. This pattern will work well using a variety of yarns. If you enjoy working with thread, consider working 1 section wide of the instructions to create a stunning table runner. If you enjoy working with baby yarn, go for it! If Red Heart Super Saver is your go to, go right ahead! The size of your finished project will vary from mine but that's ok. I'll be giving you instructions to work as close to your desired size as you can. ***This post contains Affiliate links through which I may receive a small commission for purchases at no extra cost to you***
