It takes a lot for me to really, really love and be excited over my blanket designs, luckily this one definitely nails it for me. The Hazel Ridge Throw crochet pattern was SO fun to design and to make.
I knew when I ordered the yarn that I wanted to find a combination of colors that went beautifully together. I already had somewhat of a picture in my mind of what I wanted for this design. I knew that I wanted to play with different stitches and repeat them throughout. I just love a design that keeps you interested as you go and isn’t boring! Check out the Lion Brand kit here if you want the same yarn as me!
I remember working with Landscapes yarn many years ago, so when Lion Brand released Landscapes Renewed, I knew I had to try it! Dare I say I like this one better than normal Landscapes?! I immediately got to work on The Strata Sunrise Throw crochet pattern.
I gravitated towards the orange color right away. It reminds me of southern Utah and all the beautiful rock formations in the deep reds and oranges you see! If you have ever been, you know exactly what I am talking about! I knew I had to get it.
The Echoes Cardigan was one of my top patterns of 2024! I knew that I wanted to make a pullover version of it this year and I’m so glad I had time to sneak it in this winter! The Echoes Pullover is the perfect sister design to the cardigan and I hope you all love it as much as I do!
I thought about using a different Mandala color for the Echoes Pullover crochet pattern but there is just something about the “warlock” color that draws me in! I ended up going with the same color and I’m glad I did! There are however, a lot of beautiful colors to choose from! If you are purchasing the kit you can swap out your color choice and you get a free copy of the printable PDF download of the pattern.
When I saw Lion Brands new Botanic yarn I knew I had to design something summery, delicate and romantic. I wanted some sort of lace stitches incorporated but also wanted this top to be functional. I ended up with The Summer Blush Tank Crochet Pattern!
This was such a blast to make. My favorite part is the neckline. I was a little worried when I started the design on how to achieve the cinched in sweetheart look for it. But surprisingly, it came together almost immediately with only 1 rework to get it right. It’s kind of amazing what can be done with just a few minor adjustments!
It’s also crocheted from the top down and is very easy to customize to your liking. You can add or remove as many rows to the upper half of your top. Every body is different so you may need a little more or less coverage than the suggested amount in the pattern. Once you move onto the lace rows you can also add or remove as many rows in multiples of 2 that you would like. So if you want a longer tank just add more! If you want a cute cropped look, remove some rows! You can’t mess it up!
I have a full video tutorial available if you are a visual learner and a lion brand kit if you plan on purchasing yarn. The botanic yarn has a bunch of pretty colors available.
