From baby blankets to throws to huge blankets, this bundle has every pattern you could ever need for this Blanket Prep Season.

This is the season where I can crochet a blanket and use it to keep me warm in the evenings while I work on it.

frog nap buddyIf you have a toddler in your life, the bundle includes my Frog Nap Buddy Crochet Pattern.

Froggy extends his tongue to catch a fly. Guess what he caught? A toddler at naptime! The frog’s tongue extends to become a toddler blanket, then rolls back up and zips into the frog to be a friendly frog plush toy the rest of the day. Your little one will love taking this frog everywhere they go. Also a great idea for back to school for kindergarten. Easy crochet pattern with YouTube tutorial links.

See it in action here: https://youtube.com/shorts/3AwJCxKLHUM

Finished blanket measures approximately 36″ long by 32” wide. When blanket is rolled up inside, the

frog measures approximately 16” long by 16” wide.

Celebrate and enjoy the Blanket Season with us and grab your bundle here:

Lover’s Eye Necklace Crochet Pattern

lover's eye necklace

In 1785, Prince George or Wales commissioned a tiny portrait of his eye and sent it to his beloved, Maria Anne Fitzherbert, to convince her to marry him. It worked, and they were married shortly thereafter. The Prince then commissioned a portrait of Fitzherbert’s eye so that he might have her with him all the time. The tiny portraits became popular in England in the late 18th century. Some commissioned them as a token of affection for their lover, and others used them as a memento of a departed family member.

These necklaces have gained a new popularity with the show Bridgerton. If you follow the show, you have likely noticed that Marina wears a lover’s eye necklace on a strand of pearls.

You can crochet your own lover’s eye for a necklace or brooch. This simple pattern takes only an evening to complete and measures approximately 2” wide by 1.25” tall.

Is everyone ready for the cold weather that is about to sweep over most of the United States? My pantry is stocked, and I have plenty of firewood, so I’m ready for some cozy crochet time. It’s February, so it’s time to work on Valentine’s Day gifts.

I used acrylic yarn, but feel free to use up your stash of Valentine colors. Stay warm everyone!
