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… Continue reading Giraffe Security Blanket (free pattern)

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… Continue reading Turtle Security Blanket

I hope you enjoy making it as… Continue reading Rainbow Unicorn Security Blanket

I apologise that there are not… Continue reading Frog Security Blanket (free pattern)
