Giraffe Security Blanket (free pattern)

It's been a while since I've written or shared a free pattern. I'm feeling a little guilty about it as I know I've created lots of little gems to share over the past few months but I either didn't write notes as I was making them (rookie mistake) or haven't had the time to write…

Fluffy Sheep Security Blanket

I made this little lovey for my colleague at work. It was nice and simple to make and it is lovely and fluffy, even with basic DK yarn. This pattern perfect for those of you who may not have tried popcorn stitch or puff stitch before. You can download the pattern in my Etsy store.

Loopy the Lion Security Blanket

This pattern is great for beginners who want to learn a new stitch or pattern such as loop stitch or virus crochet. I actually learnt loop stitch while designing this pattern as it worked so beautifully for the lion's mane. You can download the pattern in my Etsy store.

Turtle Security Blanket

My friend asked for a gift for a new born baby and I thought I would do something a little different. The blanket is a bit more lacy than my previous makes. I think it looks a little like water at the edges as it becomes wavy. It measures about 50cm in diameter and is…

Whale Security Blanket (free pattern)

Rainbow Unicorn Security Blanket

I wanted to try out some Jacob's ladder crochet, so I just had to do it in multicoloured stripes...and then a unicorn was born. It measures about 50cm in diameter and is suitable for beginner to intermediate crochet-ers. The pattern is available to purchase from my Etsy store. I hope you enjoy making it as…

Frog Security Blanket (free pattern)

This little frog on a lily pad is a quick and easy pattern. As I was putting together the lily pad, I ended up frogging it (ironically) a few times, so please let me know if it doesn't come out as you expect and I can update the pattern. I apologise that there are not…
