Today part 2 of the Anniversary CAL is published. You can find it on Ravelry and LoveCrochet.
Part 2 has a new motif – a large one! And it is included in this mini cushion I made:
As you can see the 2 motifs work together well, I designed the sizes so that they did! Part 2 of the pattern includes a suggested layout if you’d like to make a blanket or throw with just these 2 styles of motif, but there are plenty of other options available – just use your imagination (and maybe a little maths!).
If you haven’t already joined in the CAL, please do – I love seeing what everyone makes with the motifs.
When I photographed it on the bench I realised that I would make a sturdy outdoor blanket, so I expect plenty of use from it this spring.
The final part of the pattern for you is the border I used. But of course you may use any border you like.
The Border
I made the border a couple of weeks ago, in fact I made 3 borders. At first I tried a simple one, but I didn’t like it. Then I tried something more substantial, but that looked odd. So I had to frog it all back twice. I realised one of the reasons I didn’t like the border was the colours I used – originally blue and orange. The orange worked well next to the squares but the blue was totally wrong. So I looked at my remaining yarn scraps, chose some colours I preferred then ordered more yarn – no good trying to make do with what I had.
My border used a just under 4 balls of Drops Nepal (aran weight, 75m per 50g ball) – I used 2 of Goldenrod (yellow), 1 of Orange and 1 of Green.
Here’s the pattern:
ABBREVIATIONS
The pattern is written in English crochet terms.
St = stitch
Ch = chain
Tr = treble (US dc)
Htr = half treble (US hdc)
Dtr = double treble (US tr)
Ss = slip stitch
Sp = space
Ch-sp = chain space
Round 1 – using Orange, starting one stitch to the right of a corner, ss in the back loop of each stitch around, join the round with a ss. This gives a nice firm and crisp edge to work the rest of the border from.
Round 2 – again you should start this round one stitch to the right of a corner and ensure you work through the ss from round 1 and the back loop of each square for a good firm finish, *(1htr, 2ch) in this st, (1dtr, 2ch) in next st, then work (1htr, 1ch, miss 1 st) repeated along the side edge to the stitch just before the next corner; repeat from * until end of round, join the round with a ss to the top of your first st, break yarn and fasten off. NOTE: I had 85 htr and 84 1ch-sps along each side and (2ch-sp, 1dtr, 2ch-sp) in each corner.
Round 3 – using Yellow, work 1htr in each stitch around (counting each htr and ch as a st and working into the ch not the ch-sp), in the corners I worked (1tr, 2ch, 1tr) in the corner dtr st, join the round with a ss, break yarn and fasten off. (NOTE: I had 175 sts along each side and a 2ch-sp in each corner, ideally you should have a multiple of 6 sts plus 1 along each side).
Round 4 – using Green, start in the tr just to the right of a 2ch-sp corner, 1dc in tr, *(2tr, 2ch, 2tr) in 2ch-sp, 1dc in next tr, [miss 2 sts, (2tr, 2ch, 2tr) in next st, miss 2 sts, 1dc in next st] repeated to next corner 2ch-sp; repeat from * until end of round, join the round with a ss, break yarn and fasten off.
Round 5 – using Yellow, work (2tr, 2ch, 2tr) in each dc and 1 dc in each 2ch-sp around, join the round with a ss, break yarn and fasten off. Sew in all loose ends.
I blocked my blanket, taking up the most of the floor space in the spare room for a couple of days! With the border (which is about 6cm/2.5″), it ended up at about 140cm/55″ square.
I hope you have enjoyed this CAL. I have enjoyed sharing it with you 🙂
For me, most of the pleasure is in seeing your finished blanket, so please share a photo.
The long Easter weekend is almost upon us and here in the UK we have some wet and windy weather forecast. So I think crocheters in the UK may well have plenty of hooking time this weekend, much better to be inside with a hook than outside battling the weather! So pull up a chair, get out your hook and your blanket CAL and start on the last square, plan your layout from the 2 options below and start to join your blanket. Yes, this is a bumper post today – with plenty to help keep you occupied 😉
Here is square number 6, it’s a large version of square number 2, so you should be able to complete it with ease.
Square number 6
This photo shows number 6 joined into the blanket, look closely and you will see it has one large square above and below but 2 smaller squares to either side. This gives you a clue to one of the layouts below 🙂
Here’s the pattern:

Break yarn and fasten off, leaving a long tail of about 6m for sewing or crocheting together later.
You should have 31tr along each side and a 2ch-sp at each corner.
I made 5 of these in varying colours, but you may make as many as you like. However, for the layouts below you will need a total of 48 small squares and 13 large squares.
Before thinking of joining, you need to see the layouts and decide which you want. So here are the 2 options:
OPTION 1
OPTION 2
Both these options use the same number of large and small squares.
Option 1 is the layout I used, and it includes the colours I used as well as the square numbers. If you choose this option then the best way to join is by sewing or slip stitching together the way I did in the Christmas CAL here. If you try a different join (such as double crocheting together) the width of the joining seam of 2 small squares makes them too big to join neatly against a large square.
If you choose option 2 then first join 4 small squares by slip stitch or sewing together and then treat them all as large squares. Using this option you can use more fancy joining – from double crochet to braids.
Before you join your squares, have a play with the different colours and patterns until you find a layout/colour scheme you like – it doesn’t have to be the same as mine!
As usual please share progress, either here in the comments or on the Ravelry forum here.
As promised here is the 5th square in the series of 6 for this CAL. This is another large one:
Square number 5
Look closely and you will see the first 4 rounds are a normal granny square, so this should be a quick one for you to make.

I made my squares from one colour throughout, but if you want to change colours then simply join your new colour at the point you do a ss on each new round. Foundation: Make a 4ch foundation ch and join into a ring with a ss Round 1: 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), (3tr, 2ch) 3 times into the ring, 2tr into the ring, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.

Break yarn and fasten off, leaving a long tail of about 6m for sewing or crocheting together later.
You should have 31tr along each side and a 2ch-sp at each corner.
I made 3 of these in different colours, but you could do 4 or 5 if you prefer.
Next weekend is Easter, and many of you will have some spare time. So I will publish the last square and give you 2 layouts, so if you do have the time you can crochet away for the whole weekend! And as it is Easter maybe I will post it a day early 🙂
Last week I promised you something a little different, well maybe it is different but then again maybe it isn’t!
Here it is:
Number 4
Firstly, you will have noticed it is bigger. It is designed to be 4 times the size of squares 1 to 3, or twice the width and depth. This will make the design more interesting, as you need to fit both sizes of square into your blanket.
Second is is very similar to square number 3, but it has more rounds.
This is the pattern:
ABBREVIATIONS
The pattern is written in English crochet terms.
St = stitch
Ch = chain
Tr = treble (US dc)
Ss = slip stitch
Sp = space
Ch-sp =chain space
Foundation: Make a 4ch foundation ch and join into a ring with a ss
Round 1: 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), (1tr, 1ch, 1tr, 2ch) 3 times into the ring, (1tr, 1ch) into the ring, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.
Round 2: ss into 2ch-sp, (note for this and each subsequent round: this ss is to position the start of the round in the right place) 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), 2tr into the same 2ch-sp, *1tr in next st, 1tr in 1ch-sp, 1tr in next st, (2tr, 2ch, 2tr) in next 2ch-sp; repeat from * another 2 times, 1tr in next st, 1tr in 1ch-sp, 1tr in next st, 1tr into first 2ch-sp, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.
Round 3: ss into 2ch-sp, 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), 1tr into the same 2ch-sp, 1ch, *(1tr in next st, 1ch, miss 1 st) 4 times, (1tr, 2ch, 1tr, 1ch) in next 2ch-sp; repeat from * another 2 times, (1tr in next st, 1ch, miss 1 st) 4 times, 1tr into the first 2ch-sp, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.
Round 4: ss into 2ch-sp, 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), 2tr into the same 2ch-sp, 1tr into each st and 1ch-sp around, (2tr, 2ch, 2tr) into each 2ch-sp, and work a final 1tr into the first 2ch-sp, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.
Round 5: ss into 2ch-sp, 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), 1tr into the same 2ch-sp, 1ch, *(1tr in next st, 1ch, miss 1 st) 8 times, (1tr, 2ch, 1tr, 1ch) in next 2ch-sp; repeat from * another 2 times, (1tr in next st, 1ch, miss 1 st) 8 times, 1tr into the first 2ch-sp, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.
Round 6: as Round 4.
Round 7: ss into 2ch-sp, 5ch (counts as 1tr, 2ch), 1tr into the same 2ch-sp, 1ch, *(1tr in next st, 1ch, miss 1 st) 12 times, (1tr, 2ch, 1tr, 1ch) in next 2ch-sp; repeat from * another 2 times, (1tr in next st, 1ch, miss 1 st) 12 times, 1tr into the first 2ch-sp, join to 3rd st of starting 5ch with a ss.
Round 8: as Round 4.
Break yarn and fasten off, leaving a long tail of about 6m for sewing or crocheting together later.
You should have 31tr along each side and a 2ch-sp at each corner.
I made a total of 5 of these in various colours. If you want to add some multi coloured squares into your blanket this would be a good choice – I recommend changing colour every 2 rounds
I love this square; it has a regularity that pleases my eye and it has lots of possibilities. You can carry on increasing the rounds until you make one huge blanket or you could stop at a cushion size (maybe you could make a cushion to match your final blanket?). However, for this blanket I stopped at 8 rounds – just enough to make the design a little more challenging without being difficult to crochet 🙂
Thinking ahead, some of you may think this larger square could pose a few joining problems, because if you join with a wide seam you may find 4 joined smaller squares end up a little bigger than one larger square. But do not worry I have 2 layouts for you and a solution if you want wide seams.
A week has passed since I published the first square and I know some of you have already made plenty of them in varying colour schemes. So I know you are ready for number 2 – here it is:
Number 2
This is all one colour, but I have made another in pastel colours so you can see what each round looks like a little more clearly:

Please join in the discussion and share your progress on my Ravelry forum here.
Last week I posted a few photos from the Christmas Blanket CAL with a hint of a new CAL to come. Today I am launching that CAL.
This is the Blog Blanket CAL 2015, and I’m launching it now because I know some people have decided to have a ‘stash down’ for Lent, using yarn in their stash for the whole of Lent. This blanket is a great stash buster, if you join in you will find that your stash diminishes quickly – freeing up space in your yarn cupboard for when you next go shopping!
So what type of blanket is it?
It’s made of square motifs, variations on the granny square. If you can make a granny square then you can make this blanket and if you are an experienced crocheter you will find it a quick and relaxing make. (If you want something challenging, then maybe this isn’t for you.)
There are no complicated stitches – it uses chain, treble (US double crochet) and slip stitch, and for the border maybe a few other stitches like double crochet and half treble.
There are 6 styles of square – each will be published at weekly intervals. You can use as many of the styles as you like.
I am making mine in one colour per square, but you can use lots of colours if you like.
I will publish 2 types of layout towards the end of the CAL, but you can follow any layout you like and make it as big or small as you like.
I am using aran weight yarn but you can use any yarn provided you use a suitable hook size.
The finished size of mine will be about 1.2m (4ft) square but I haven’t decided what I will be doing for the border yet, so it may be a bit bigger.
This is what I am using:
Yummy yarn!
For the main blanket I am using 21 balls of Drops Nepal, 75% wool/25% alpaca, 50g/75m per ball in 7 different colours. The border will need more yarn – maybe another 3 balls.
And I am using a 4.5mm crochet hook.
Next week I will publish the first square, I hope this gives you enough time to gather your thoughts and your stash!
Do you remember the Christmas CAL 2014? It was a spontaneous CAL, I did not plan it in advance it just happened. And I enjoyed it so much!
My mind is now turning to blanket CALs again, and I am planning another. But before I share my plans with you I thought it would be good to show you some of the blankets that were made in the last CAL.
Here is Charita’s blanket. I love the subtle blue colour scheme. I love also the flower embellishments!
Charita’s blanket
And this is Nona’s blanket. I love the bright zingy colours, and I was astonished to discover this was her first blanket!
Nona’s blanket
This is Jen’s blanket. Some lovely soft colours in this one and she made it in only 9 days! Well done Jen!
Jen’s blanket
And this one is Vicky’s. She chose lovely autumnal colours.
Vicky’s blanket
And remember I did a very simple edging on my blanket? Well Vicky chose to do something prettier. Here’s her edge.
Vicky’s edge
What I love the most about this sort of CAL is, even though we all start with the same design, the colours, layouts and all types of variations mean no-one has an identical blanket. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone’s progress and final blankets. And I look forward to a similar experience soon!
Thank you Charita, Nona, Jen and Vicky for letting me share your photos.
Happy New Year! I hope you celebrated the turn of the old year in suitable style.
Today is the big reveal!
First I will explain my edging. I wanted something simple. In fact when I had joined my motifs I liked the look of the blanket so much that I almost didn’t do an edging. But not doing an edging is a crochet sin! All blankets need something firm along the edge to hold the whole shape.
I experimented with several ideas and settled for the simplest. I expect you think I did a double crochet edging, this is simple isn’t it? Well I didn’t. The simplest edging is slip stitch, and I did 2 rounds of slip stitch.
To maintain the same effect that I achieved with the joining of the motifs, the slip stitch edging was done into the back loop only. This leaves the front loop of each motif to ‘frame’ the motif. So the first edging round was done into the back loop of every stitch along the sides (that works out at 25 per motif edge).
Edging first round
Once you have completed the first round you will find the blanket has a nice firm edge. Actually I think this simple round give a good finish, but I wanted a little more.
The second round went into the back loop of the first round. When the second round is complete you’ll see that only the front loop of the first round is showing. So choose your colours carefully as the second round is the predominant colour.
Edging second round
I didn’t do any extra stitches in the corners, I don’t think it necessary when it is just 2 rounds of slip stitch. And it creates a gentle curve at the corner.
Edging corner
Nicely edged
And this is the final blanket in it’s glory, being inspected by @yarnaddictcat :
@yarnaddictcat inspection
No little embellishment have been added (yet!).
If you look very closely you may notice that I didn’t quite follow the layout plan. The colours are the same but the motifs are slightly off plan. This is because, as I mentioned in part 4, I was running out of some colours so adjusted the order of motifs I made a little bit.
Now I’ve shown you mine – please show me yours!
Happy crocheting xxxx
Now for the legal stuff – I designed this, it’s all my own work and is copyright. Please feel free to make as many as you like, but not for commercial purposes, and please credit me with the design. Thank you!
I have finished my blanket now, but I will save the big reveal until New Year’s Day. Today I am sharing my little embellishment.
If you have been reading this blog for the last week or so you will know that I had my idea for the little embellishment only a few days ago. I thought a small flower would look lovely in the centre of some of the squares:
Embellishment
Regular blog readers may recognise this flower, it is the Anniversary Crochet Flower that I designed and published here. I used one colour for the first 2 rounds, then swapped to a different colour for the last round. I think it is perfect as a little embellishment.
Embellishment 2
What do you think? Maybe you should wait until your blanket is joined and edged before making these, as you don’t want to run out of yarn! But you can practice on some scraps, as these little flowers don’t use too much yarn.
Flower field
I still haven’t decided whether to add them to my blanket (hence the long tails haven’t been cut off yet as they will be needed for sewing on), I think my blanket zings already………..decisions, decisions…….
Tune in tomorrow for the final part and THE BIG REVEAL!
