English Garden Baby Blanket

06/04/2016 by Dada Filed Under: Crochet baby blanket patterns, Crochet blankets 29 Comments

A long time ago I fell in love with English gardens. The culprit for that was Penelope Hobhouse, a famous British gardener. I enjoyed immensely watching her amazing TV gardening shows, while dreaming of having a beautiful, lush garden of my own. Now, many years after, I still don’t have any garden, let alone an English garden. I live in a flat on the seventh floor… but, I have my beautiful plants on the balcony, my little piece of heaven. There I keep a ginkgo biloba tree, which we brought from Hungary when my son was a little baby, a little olive tree we brought from Corfu island (Greece), a yellow hibiscus, also brought from Greece, a little avocado tree, grown from the seed… along with many others seasonal flowering plants…

So, I decided, if I can’t have an English garden, I can have at least an English Garden Blanket. Now, you can see how much love has been weaved into this blooming blanket.

The blanket is made of 100% cotton yarn “Tango” and “Tango color”, 125m/50g from St. George (manufacturer from Serbia). It measures approximately 83 x 68 cm (32.5″ x 26.5″).

The English Garden Blanket is similar to my Victorian Flower Blanket. Actually, the first 4 rows are the same, but the blankets have different petals, and the last 2 rows are different, too. It seems to me that the English Garden Blanket is lighter, more transparent and has that appealing lacy charm. The borders are completely different, but I think that the English Garden Blanket border would look nice on Victorian Flower Blanket and vice versa.

For this blanket I used 3,5 mm crochet hook (USA – size E-4, UK – size 9). The pattern is written using US crochet terms.

The English Garden Blanket pattern is very detailed with lots of step-by-step photographs. When I write a pattern, I always have in mind that not so long ago I was a complete beginner, not knowing anything about crochet… So I want my patterns to be clear and easy to follow. That’s why this pattern has more than 90 step-by-step photographs, 5 crochet charts and several diagrams.

Norwegian Forest Blanket Pattern

03/03/2016 by Dada Filed Under: Crochet baby blanket patterns 26 Comments

I named this blanket “Norwegian forest” because it reminds me of the pictures of beautiful and powerful Norwegian landscapes my friend sent me when she left to live in Norway. I was fascinated with that endless, icy and serene beauty… minimalistic but powerful!

The blanket measures approximately 86 x 86 cm (34″ x 34″) and it is consisted of 16 granny squares, (20 x 20 cm) joined with single crochet.

For this blanket I chose a yarn I have never worked with before. It’s “Una” from St. George, 115m/50g, 55% acrylic, 40% cotton and 5% metalized polyester. The yarn is breath taking, streaked with silver threads, and I’m very sorry I didn’t manage to show all that beauty in the pictures. The reason why these pictures don’t reflect true beauty of this yarn is because I use only natural light for shooting, and these winter days are so dark and gloomy… Anyway, it was a real pleasure to work with this soft, amazing yarn.

I used 4 mm crochet hook (USA – size G-6, UK – size 8). The pattern is written using US crochet terms.

Like all my patterns, this one is also very detailed. There are step-by-step instruction on how to make the square, as well as how to make the border, with more than 120 step-by-step photographs. I also made crochet charts for square and border, and there are written patterns for square and border, too. I hope that this pattern will be very easy to follow, because I wrote it having in mind that not so long ago I was an inexperienced crocheter (read: beginner) with absolutely no clue about crochet! I remember so well how I appreciated any detailed step-by-step tutorial which I was able to follow with my poor knowledge of crochet!

The pattern has 22 pages! Can you believe it?

The Norwegian Forest Blanket Pattern is now available in Dada’s place shop, (payment options: Credit cards & PayPal).

Guess How Much I Love You Baby Blanket Pattern

Guess how much I love you crochet baby blanket pattern

I’m so happy that my first pattern for 2016. has the word “Love” in its title! So, it seems to me that I started this year in the right direction. I’ve been thinking to add at least one new pattern each month in my shop. That would be my goal for 2016.

I wrote a post about Guess How Much I Love You blanket earlier, but I will give you basic information again. So, here we go, this is a relatively small blanket. It measures approximately 65 x 70 cm (25,6″ x 27,5″), but you can make it bigger, simply by adding more rows of squares. I used my favorite yarn, “Tango”, 100% cotton yarn, 125m/50g, from St. George and 3.5 mm crochet hook. The border is as you can see, very simple. I joined the squares with simple crochet, which is so easy to do.

If you prefer bright colors, maybe you can use this color combination, which I like a lot! Although I didn’t make the whole blanket with these colors, I bet that it would look great and that babies would like it. Babies like bright colors. It seems that bright colors stimulate baby’s eyes. So, if you’d like a baby Einstein, go for bright colors!
