Special Edition Autumn Coastline Sunburst Hexie Blanket Pattern
The weather’s starting to turn in my part of the world and that means I’m totally ready to be snuggled up in a blanket, making blankets and buying ALL THE YARN. While I love the original Coastline Sunburst Hexie Blanket Pattern— this super chunky version has my heart singing! Just like last years Special Edition Island Time Blanket, this one is quick to work up-the colour combinations are endless, and the result is a giant blanket my entire family can curl up under. Movie night…here we come :)
Because of the success and love for last years Special Edition Blankets; Steph (@thecreativeknitter) and I decided that this blanket needed to be a crochet-a-long (CAL). What’s more fun than the squishiest blanket I can think of and building community!? I can think of nothing. I hope you all join us for this years CAL and share our beautiful makes together with the hashtag: #autumncoastlineCAL on INSTAGRAM.
Follow Steph (@thecreativeknitter) and I (@nautikrallcrochet) as well as #autumncoastlineCAL on Instagram for all the updates! We will both be doing another blanket throughout the CAL because-why not, right!?!?!? I’ll have my yarn and colour options listed below and will be posting updates on Instagram throughout. Can’t wait to see all your beautiful makes!!!

Special Edition Basic Sunburst Pillow Pattern
Something I get asked often is: “Do I have to use JAYG (join as you go) or CJAYG (continuous join as you go) to join my squares?” The answer? -No! Of course not, there are many beautiful ways to join squares! This pillow pattern is meant to encourage those who haven’t made a pillow yet to try (because the above-mentioned methods may seem intimidating to first time crocheters). 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— just like the timeless granny squares Nan used to make :)
