I know I’m not the only mushroom fan around here. If you’ve been to literally any store in the past year I’m sure you’ve seen cute little mushrooms on mugs, wall decor, pillows… I could go on and on! Who doesn’t love a cute whimsical mushroom?! The Mushroom Medley Throw is perfect to add to your mushroom collection or give to a mushroom fan! (how many times can I say mushroom haha)
If you guys have been following me for a while you know that I am a C2C crochet fan. I like to make at least 2 c2c crochet blankets every year. The Mushroom Medley Throw is my third this year! I designed The Daisy Day, The Squeeze The Day and now The Mushroom Medley! Be sure to check out all my other c2c patterns if you’re a fan too!
If you are new to C2C I recommend practicing with a smaller swatch before beginning a blanket! Once you understand how to make the basic squares it really is easy! You just repeat squares to grow your blanket, and decrease when you reach the corners!
You guys already know I have a slight addiction to making fun C2C crochet patterns. Well, here’s another one for ya… The Squeeze The Day Throw crochet pattern! What’s better than bright happy lemons on a beautiful frosty background? I just love how it turned out so much! It totally reminds me of warm summer days in the middle of July. Perfect timing, right?!
This one has a similar style to The Daisy Day Throw. That one was a HUGE hit. My top performing pattern of the last few months, that’s for sure! You guys loved it so much and I hope you love this one too! Once again, I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn to make it. And I can attest to the fact that it really is anti-pilling! My blanket was stuck in some prickers that I had to carefully pull off and then had to wash some dirt off. It definitely is anti-pilling to say the least!
This blanket is Corner 2 Corner (C2C) style. If you’ve never heard of that, it’s exactly what it sounds like! You work from the bottom right corner to the top left corner to create this blanket! Each block on the graph below is made up of a square. Each Sq is a Ch 3 and 3 Dc. I have the full written pattern down below as well as the graph. I always recommend cross referencing the graph if you think you made a mistake. The graph is EXACTLY how your blanket should look. If you think you have 1 too many yellow squares in a row, look at the graph, then look at your blanket! Do they match? If not you can go back and pull out your mistake!
If you need a little extra help with this blanket or your new to C2C I recommend checking out my video tutorial to get going! Once you learn the basics of the squares it’s easy breezy from there on out. If you need some extra help learning how to organize your yarn or keep it from tangling there are a ton of helpful videos and blog posts out there!
I hope you guys enjoy this pattern and I can’t wait to see all of your Squeeze The Day Throws!
The Hello Sunshine Afghan is finally here! I wanted this blanket to have old school retro vibes to it. I was super excited to find the exact colors I wanted in the Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn. There are so many different color combinations you can go with though so i’m excited to see crocheters make this pattern there own!
I think some purples would be so pretty in this pattern. Maybe even light pastel colors as a baby blanket!
I’m a big fan of using C2C to work up different graphs. I have multiple blanket patterns available free on my blog as well as for purchase! A couple favorites are- Covered In Cats and Draped In Dogs!
Unicorns are a big craze right now with little girls, don’t you agree? I’m sure most people know somebody who is a unicorn lover! My girls inspired me to create the ultimate unicorn blanket and I’m so happy I did.
The Unicorn Dreams Afghan was a blast to make and actually works up pretty quickly for a blanket. The bulky yarn makes it extra squishy and soft. I held the Terryspun yarn double stranded for the unicorn. This is something you will want to do as well! It’s not thick enough on it’s own so be sure to hold 2 strands of yarn at the same time.
