I truly hope you enjoy this relaxing make. It’s based on the original Coastline Sunburst Hexie Blanket Pattern I released last year-but with a twist! I’ve included half hexies for the top and bottom of the blanket for a really finished look.

With a smaller selection of colours, no colour changes and motifs that are packable—this project promises to be the bring-a-long staple. Join them all up later with a continuous join as you go for hexagons and you’ve got yourself the perfect project to ring in the summer with. Happy Crocheting :)

While I love the “classic” Navy and White stripe “Nautical” look—I also think this blanket would be adorable with a variety of different colours. Keep the cream coloured base and add a coral colour for a fun and fresh vibe, or change out the navy with a subtle green or taupe for a more neutral and soft look—or simply replace Navy with a soft pink or purple for a stunning baby girl blanket. The options are truly endless and the Shine Worsted yarn used for this blanket has a wide variety of shades suitable to your every need. Colours I’ve got my eye on include: Clarity, Pistachio, Grapefruit, Blush, Hydrangea, Wisteria and Platinum!

It may just be the squishiest, softest baby blanket in existence… If you need a quick make-this one’s for you! I made this baby blanket in 2 days flat (ok, ok, no mortal can crochet as fast as that, if it’s not their full time job…but I promise it is a quickie)!! Had I planned on writing a pattern for it? No, absolutely not. But then I thought…why not, right!? The more free content, the merrier!

Why did I choose this one?? Because a favourite of mine will always be the large sunburst granny square. It makes such an impact and truly is a delight to crochet. I keep coming back to it, over and over again, for good reason!!

For those of you who are hesitant to start a granny square project (for whatever the reason)—I wanted to create a blanket for you to ease into. It starts with an adorable motif, chunky (think: “quick!”), and less squares to make in the end. This blanket has a total of 16 centres all worked in a solid colour so you need not be afraid of all those colour changes. It’s fun, it’s bold, it’s soft & quick. What’s not to love?!

I get asked a lot for this blanket. It was never intended to be a pattern—but here she is anyway! Hope you all love her as much as I do. -M.
