Intro:

It all began with my favourite yarn: Wool of the Andes Tweed by WeCrochet (affiliate link) . I’ve been hoarding-no, “collecting”….this yarn for years. Ever since a friend of mine told me about it-I’ve been in love. You may think-but Mal, there’s a lot of yarn out there…why this one? -I’m not sure, really. I just love the warmth of the tweedy flecks, the colours have always been amazing, and it works up beautifully! What’s not to love, really?

One night while nursing a sore throat and a hot lemon tea I decided to play a game on Instagram. I was bored and tired of coming up with colour combos (if I’m being entirely honest). So I put it out there that anyone on my Instagram could pick a colour combo and I’d make up the square. The response was immediate and wonderful.

This quickly turned into a thing and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. While only a quarter of the squares for this blanket were combinations thought up by the wonderful crafting community, I knew I wanted to share the pattern for free with everyone. So here we are. The final push needed to finally get this website up and running. Welcome: The Hygge Burst Blanket Pattern.

Hygge (pronouced “Hue-guh”) is a Scandinavian word meaning everything that is cozy, happy, special, warm and nice. It’s used as a noun, a verb and an adjective! I fell in love with the idea of hygge after reading The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking. For me, this blanket encompasses all the warmth, coziness and happiness that you can get from a blanket. I hope you all feel the same too.

ch-sp- chain space
sl st- slip stitch
rnd- round
YO- yarn over
SC- single crochet
HDC- half double crochet
DC- double crochet
tr- treble crochet

How to puff stitch (puff): YO and insert hook into st, YO and pull up a loop (pull up to about the height of a DC). Repeat this 2 more times. There should be 7 loops on the hook. YO and pull through all 7 loops.

How to 4 DC cl: YO and insert hook into sp, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2. Repeat 3 more times. There should be 5 loops on the hook. YO and pull through all 5 loops.

Pattern Notes

Ch 2 will count as DC throughout.
Ch 3 will count as tr throughout.
Gauge will affect yarn quantities. If your squares are larger than 4.75” inches square, you will require more yarn, please adjust hook size to meet gauge.
Blanket is constructed using CJAYG: where each sunburst is turned into a square while attaching to the previous square. IF you wish to join using a different method-please note you will require more yarn.
Please follow the written pattern for the sunburst granny square (rather than the tutorial). The tutorial was filmed long before I started writing patterns and is only meant to be a visual guide. There may be differences in the amount of chaining that occurs in the corners and beginning of rounds.
I did my absolute best to use up every inch of yarn in most of the skeins. For those indicated above with the full skein used –I usually had about a 6-20” tail of yarn leftover. Keep this in mind when ordering.
Don’t forget to share your makes on Instagram and Facebook! I always love seeing what you’ve all worked up. Tag me on Instagram @nautikrallcrochet or Facebook @nautikrall_crochet or use the hashtag #hyggeburstblanket

***Please see the YouTube video tutorial below on how to make Sunburst Granny Squares:

Assembling Blanket Squares (CJAYG):

With RS of squares face up, lay out all squares in the arrangement from the colour graph above.
Using colour Picket Fence, start in top right-hand corner to join squares across the rows.
Example: First row will be joined from square number 8 across to square number 1. The second row will start with square number 16 and be worked across to square number 9.
Following along with the video tutorial, crochet squares together until blanket is complete.
Once back to the start of the blanket (in the top right-hand corner)- DO NOT FASTEN OFF.
