Just like the original Island Time Blanket Pattern, but baby sized. I used Comfy Worsted from WeCrochet to work up this baby blanket pattern and absolutely love it. It’s a cotton/acrylic blend that is oh-so soft and easy to care for. Happy crocheting!!

When I started thinking about making another Island Time Shawl….I knew I wanted it to be a bit smaller (and more wearable with a heavy winter coat), solid coloured and well….I quickly realized I didn’t want a shawl. What I wanted, was a scarf! Hence, the last free pattern of the year: The Island Time Scarf Pattern. It’s wide enough for full coverage, long enough to wrap twice, and finished off with the sweetest triangular bottom and pom. It’s all about the details :) I chose to make mine monochrome—but the colour options are endless. It’s definitely a pattern I’ll be coming back to again and again.

So, grab your favourite DK weight yarn and lets get started!!

One of my favourite things to do, is take a favourite pattern of mine and put a chunky spin on it. I love creating these chunky yarn blankets because they’re very quick to work up, simple and stunning! Wool Ease Thick & Quick is my favourite super chunky yarn but you can use any yarn that you prefer! This blanket is an absolute joy to work up. Only 2 round squares that go by so fast. The result is a blanket the whole family can curl up under and I’ve provided 9 additional colour charts to help you find the perfect match!

To make this years plaid blanket pattern, I had to really simplify an old favourite. Last years Winter Plaid Blanket pattern…

Pick your favourite 10 colours and let the fun begin. This pattern is easily adapted to make a fade, ombre, rainbow or whatever combination makes your heart sing. It’s put together in such a way that the first and last row match up creating the perfect balance. I hope you all have as much fun as I did playing with colour!

When I opened up the Scenic Route Collection from Hue Loco I knew I wanted to make it into another Island Time Blanket Pattern. I just love the cool tones of this collection-it’s quite the departure from their usual style and I’m here for it! This collection screams “made for Mallory” because I absolutely love every colour in it. Blues and Greens are my favourite and I couldn’t be happier with the way this blanket turned out :)

For the border on this one—I wanted to keep the attention and focus on the beautiful colours of the motifs with this yarn—so I went with a really straight forward and classic single crochet border with picot edging. It cleans up the border beautifully while still remaining delicate and delightful. I hope you love it.

Happy Crocheting Everyone :)

This is one of those blankets that just makes me smile. I’ve always wanted a sunflower blanket but wasn’t in love with the way sunflowers were traditionally crocheted. My goal was to create a sunflower that looks perfectly imperfect (the way nature intended), while being simple to crochet and work up quickly. So without further adieu- The Autumn Sunflower Blanket Pattern, by yours truly. I hope you love it as much as I do. :)

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 :)

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…

We all have them…they add up pretty fast….and yet, what to do with them all? You know what I’m talking about—scraps. Scraps and those random skeins you just “had to have” but had no real purpose for. Well, I’ve just the thing!! The Solid Scrappy Granny Pillow is just as fun to make, as it is to look at. The combinations are endless- use up all those tiny scraps OR plan a gorgeous pillow with skeins from your stash. Mix them up randomly, or plan a “plaid like” looking pillow. Tonal, variegated, self striping-you name it! It all works with this pillow and I absolutely cannot wait to see all your creativity on this one.

Hi everyone! I’m just over here checking all the things off the list! Since forever you’ve been asking for the “half” sunburst tutorial or the Triangle Sunburst. I’ve wanted to create a simple sunburst shawl for some time—and since the Island Time Blanket pattern is a current favourite it seemed like the perfect time to make the sister pattern….

It’s bright, it’s colourful, it’s made with dreamy yarn…

The Winters are grey here in Canada-but not from where I’m sitting! A blanket so cheerful it’s bound to remind you of tropical getaways and warmer, sunnier days ahead….

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.
