Crochet: Throw
For many of us, as soon as we learn the art of crochet, we want to make a granny square blanket. For me, this has been very frustrating! My squares never came out square, and joining them was very confusing.
Crochet: Baby Blanket
Don’t let this blanket fool you! The squares look woven, but they are crocheted. And it may look like squares sewn together, but they are not - the whole blanket is made in one piece. To top it all off, the blanket is reversible!

This is such an easy project to make, even an adventurous beginner will finish it in no time. And your pet will love you for it - whenever I start on a new one, my cats climb in as soon as they see the doughnut taking shape - most of the time I have to finish it around them, as they refuse to get out! I have made a few as gifts for friends with...

This is such an easy blanket to make! The pattern uses only double crochet, single crochet and chain stitches, so this is perfect for beginners ready to try something a little different. It has a lovely texture, not too dense and not too many lacy holes either!
Crochet: Throw
This blanket has a super easy, two stitch repeat for the body of the blanket that creates a texture that looks like dots and dashes in the front. The back looks completely different with a woven-like texture that almost looks a bit like knitting. However, no weaving or knitting required! Just 2 basic crochet stitches and a normal, turn-after-ev...
Crochet: Throw
This blanket will be a lovely accent piece in your bedroom or your sitting room. Use up all your scrap pieces of yarn for the centre of each square (8g yarn per centre) and two skeins of 100g each for the main colour of the blanket (this is for a 6 x 5 square blanket). However, you can determine your own size by adding or eliminating squares.

The bean stitch creates a lovely thick texture that works splendidly to keep your coffee warm. It works up really fast, so this is an excellent last-minute gift to make!
Knitting: Throw
This is such an easy blanket to make! If you can knit and purl, you can make this blanket. The pattern creates a lovely texture that looks almost like a cable pattern, but rest assured, no cable techniques are used! It is simply made up of knit and purl stitches.
Crochet: Baby Blanket
This is such a versatile baby blanket - you can start working on the blanket in a neutral colour as soon as you hear about the pregnancy, no need to wait until you know if it is a boy or a girl. Simply add the colour accent later when you choose the ribbon. Now it will fit perfectly in the newly painted nursery room!

Alternating linen stitch and star stitch creates beautiful textured stripes in this blanket pattern (stripes created with star stitch, i.e. Stars & Stripes!). More texture is added with a pinstripe-look border.

Crochet: Throw
The first time I made this blanket, I was very curious to get some feedback from fellow yarn crafters in our community. I got a very interesting response - absolutely no-one could figure out how it was made! So when our Hobby-X convention came up, I had it out and asked people to guess whether it was crocheted or knitted. The answers were all o...

This is the perfect way to keep your neck warm this winter without adding bulk to your outfit!
Crochet: Throw
