Olive You Lap Blanket Pattern

Since mother nature decided to drop a nice 8 inches of snow on us instead of the inch we originally suppose to get, I figured it would be a good time to finish this chunky lap blanket! It's so squishy and warm and it's olive! I mean, who doesn't love this color?!


I've been dying to make another blanket using the Bernat Blanket Yarn ever since I made a blanket for my husband with it, the blanket was a total fail but we won't get into that, haha. This yarn works up quick which is nice when making a blanket. I'm not sure about any of you but if a project is taking too long I lose interest, say I'll finish it later but never do..horrible, I know.


This pattern is definitely beginner friendly, you just need to know how to single crochet (sc) and half double crochet (hdc). You'll have a nice cozy blanket in no time.


So let's get started!

You'll need a 10.00 MM (N- 15) crochet hook, 3 skeins of Bernat Blanket Big Ball Yarn (I used the color Olive, but you can use any color you like), scissors and yarn needle.

You're going to start by chaining 72, hdc in the 3rd chain from hook and in every stitch across (70)

Rows 2-3: chain 2, turn, hdc in every stitch across (70)

Row 4: chain 1, turn, sc in every stitch across (70)

Rows 5-7: chain 2, turn, hdc in every stitch across (70)

Row 8: chain 1, turn, sc in every stitch across (70)

Rows 9 - 52: repeat rows 5-8 ( you'll be doing three rows of hdc then one row of sc, ending with a row of sc) 

Then just weave you're ends and you'll be ready to cuddle up with a glass of wine and your dog!


I was trying to get a decent photo of this blanket on the couch, as soon as I put it down this happened..



Haha, look at that side eye! I guess it's her blanket now. Happy crocheting!

Crochet Towel Topper Pattern

When I was a kid, there was always a towel or two hanging from the oven. I never really realized until I got older that the towels had a topper crocheted onto them to make them easier to hang. It's one of those things that you see and it just brings back childhood memories of the house you grew up in. Recently my mom brought me some towels and asked if I knew how to add the topper, I didn't exactly know but I knew that I could figure it out. I was so excited, not only to come up with a pattern that I hadn't done yet but to make something that reminded me of my childhood home. I can't wait to run out and buy myself some new towels so I can add toppers to them, because let's be honest, mine always end up on the floor. Between the dogs, bunnies and a toddler, nothing stays in place long. Materials Needed: Tea Towel Scissors Yarn (weight 4, 100% acrylic or cotton) E/3.50 MM Hook I/5.50 MM Hook 1 Inch Button Yarn Needle Step 1: Cut your towel in ...
