I’m a little bit addicted to making c2c (corner 2 corner) blankets but I think you guys already know that lol. I’ve worked with the baby boucle yarn before for a cardigan pattern (the cozy boyfriend cardigan) and knew that It would be perfect for a teddy bear design. The teddy bear crochet blanket!
This blanket is a bit smaller than my other recent c2c’s and I think it’s the perfect size for baby or toddler! I think it would be an awesome handmade baby shower gift as well. The chunky yarn and smaller size makes it work up pretty quickly and only took me a couple weeks on and off to complete. Check out my other free c2c patterns- The Covered In Cats Afghan, The Draped In Dogs Afghan and Unicorn Dreams Afghan.
I uses Lion Brand Color Made Easy for the main blanket and Baby Soft Boucle for the teddy bear. The Baby Soft Boucle is held double stranded. You won’t want to skip out on that part so be sure you hold 2 strands at once or the bear wont be big enough.
I also think it works great as a floor mat for babies and toddlers! The bulky yarn makes it extra squishy and soft. It’s definitely on the thicker side for a blanket! Like I said, perfect baby shower gift. 😉
I’m super excited to be bringing you guys the new and improved Coffeeshop Cardigan! This pattern was one of my very first designs and was always a huge hit + top seller. It definitely needed a little face lift and some larger sizes added to it. It’s crazy how much you learn as a designer in just a couple of short years!
I’ve added more sizes to the design so now it goes from XS all the way to 5X! I also updated the construction of this sweater so there is a lot less seaming and sewing pieces together. Now, there is only 2 small sections up the side to seam. YAY! The sleeves have NO seaming!
The Coffeeshop Cardigan was inspired by all things cozy. It’s the perfect housecoat to throw on over leggings and an oversized tee. The homespun yarn gives it the perfect amount of rustic handmade feel. The pattern uses half double crochet throughout for easy stitching.

Have you ever tried Landscapes yarn by Lion Brand? I remember buying some a few years ago to make a hat but never designed anything on a bigger scale with it. I’m so excited to finally share the Skyscape Shrug with you all! Its very simple. If you can make a rectangle then you can make this sweater! It’s the perfect project to work on while binging your favorite show on Netflix because you repeat the same few rows over and over! It is also super easy to customize. You can make it longer by starting with more foundation single crochet stitches. If you want a shorter wingspan, just take out a row repeat!

I’m super excited to release this pattern and check another wip off of my list! I wanted to make a simple tank top but also didn’t want it to be too boring. You’ll be working through the back loops only throughout the pattern to give it a little flair! I used Lion Brand Merino Silk Cotton for this pattern and really liked it. It’s considered a weight of (1) but I honestly think it passes as more of a Sport/Dk (2 or 3). You should be able to meet gauge with a heavier weight yarn, so be sure to check!
If you make one, tag me on Instagram so I can share your work! 🙂

I was recently given the chance to try out some new yarn and I love it! It’s a gorgeous 100% baby alpaca light weight yarn. The Andeansun website has so many pretty yarns to try out so be sure to take a look! I decided on the color “sunset”. It’s a beautiful yellow color and when you look up close it has small flecks of green. I wanted to make something fun with a simple stitch so that the yarn could really shine in this project. A while back I made my “basic chunky slouch” beanie and thought that a re-make of the pattern with a lighter yarn would be perfect for it!
This beanie is very customizable size wise. Simply make the starting foundation row as long as you want it. The longer the row the more “slouch” your beanie will have. Work as many rows as you need for the hat to fit around your head. I’ll include a rough estimate for amount of rows needed but you can easily adjust it.
Materials:
- Light (3) weight yarn. I used Andeansun baby alpaca in the color “sunset” Approximately 70(90,120,150,190) grams.
- 4.00mm crochet hook
- yarn needle

My friends over at Becozi sent me this really cool jumbo tube yarn! This is my first time using a yarn this big and I loved it. I ended up using my hands/arms to crochet the floor pouf instead of a hook. If you would rather use a hook instead, a 30.00mm size should work perfectly! This pouf works up super quickly…like 20 minutes quickly. It’s also easy to customize for a larger pouf. 🙂
Materials:
- Chunky Cotton Tube Yarn from BecoziÂ
- 30.00mm Crochet Hook or larger if you can find one. (or 2 hands)
- Poly-Fil
