Inspired by quilts and the Scandinavian Nordic Star motif which is so popular in knitting and yoke sweaters. I wanted one for myself so put the crochet spin on it!

The Succulents Yarn Subscription is a set of 12 new surprise colour ways from Hue Loco Yarn. From it, I used the 12 colours to make up the main squares for the Succulents Granny Square CAL blanket design. Each month a surprise skein of yarn will show up in the mail and from it you make the squares for the blanket. At the end of the year, the blanket is joined up. The blanket construction is made up of two squares: sunburst granny squares and solid granny squares in an alternating pattern. Each month you make 10 squares according to the schedule listed in the pattern below…

a kind of patchwork effect. It’s subtle, and focuses more on the art of beautiful hand dyed yarns rather than a quilted effect. However, it still shines through just a bit. —And you know just how much I love a quilt inspired blanket :)

Adding yet another addition to the Hygge Burst Family of patterns! I adore this scarf. Originally, I had planned on making a shawl—and maybe I still will….but I’m super glad I switched to scarf at the last minute. I’m definitely more of a scarf girlie and this one is totally scrumptious. I made this one out of sock weight yarn in Hue Loco’s newest Rosé Collection. The colours are beautifully wearable, the drape is incredible… and I can tell this will be a go-to piece in my wardrobe for the remainder of the Autumn and Winter season.

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 scarf encompasses all the warmth, coziness and happiness that you can get. I hope you all feel the same too.

A beginner friendly, easy crochet pattern for those wanting to dip their toes into the art of pillow making :) These squares are just slip stitched together and the result is a perfectly squishy pillow you can feel good about. Not only are the colour options endless-the sunburst squares always fill me with joy. Work them up solid coloured for an easy, carefree crochet experience OR change up the colours each round and create a multicolored masterpiece…
