Limited Edition Hygge Burst Granny Square Blanket Pattern

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.
