by

If you’re a fan of crochet and looking for a way to add a personal touch to life’s special moments, 19 Easy Crochet Gnome Patterns by Mariia Ermolova is a must-have for your crafting collection! This delightful book offers 19 unique gnome patterns, each perfect for celebrating different occasions, from birthdays and baby showers to graduations, retirements, and housewarmings.

One of the things that makes this book stand out is how approachable it is for crocheters of all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, the step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it simple to create these adorable gnomes. The patterns are well-explained, and you’ll appreciate how the book provides all the essential details, from the required tools and yarn to instructions on gauge and tension, ensuring you get the best results.

The finished gnomes range in size from 10 to 28 cm (4 to 11.5 inches), making them the perfect size for display or gifting. The tight fabric created by using a smaller crochet hook helps ensure that the stuffing stays inside and doesn’t show through the stitches, which is a fantastic tip for creating plush, durable toys.

These gnomes are more than just crochet projects—they’re heartfelt gifts that can add warmth and personality to any celebration. Whether you’re making them for a birthday or a housewarming party, each gnome brings a personal touch that will make the occasion feel extra special.

Shock Wave Free Crochet Lap Blanket Pattern

This Free Shock Wave Crochet Lap Blanket Pattern from Mary Maxim looks like one of those wonderfully satisfying projects that gives big cozy payoff without fiddly detail. Mary Maxim lists it as a free download, designed as a crochet afghan/lap blanket, with a finished size of 45 x 50 inches.

What immediately stands out is the yarn choice. The pattern is made with Bernat Blanket Extra Thick, using 5 skeins, and calls for a U.S. U/50 (25 mm) crochet hook. That is gloriously chunky territory, which usually means fast progress and lots of squishy texture. If you are in the mood for a project that feels substantial in your hands and grows quickly row by row, this one definitely has that appeal.

Mary Maxim describes the blanket as having a beautifully textured, plush, soft finish and suggests it as a project for home décor or gifting. Based on the materials and oversized hook alone, that sounds about right. This feels like the sort of blanket you make for curling up on the couch, draping over a chair, or giving as a practical handmade gift that will actually get used instead of folded away “for best.”

The pattern is marked Easy, and the listed stitch requirements are straightforward: chain, repeat, double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch. That makes it sound approachable for confident beginners and very appealing for anyone who wants a relaxing crochet project without too much counting drama.

I also think the lap blanket size is a smart one. Not every crochet blanket needs to become a giant commitment that takes over the lounge room and your will to live. A 45 x 50 inch blanket is a useful, manageable size for gifting, for wheelchairs or reading nooks, or just for keeping on hand for chilly evenings. That practicality gives this pattern extra appeal. The usability point is my own take based on the finished dimensions Mary Maxim provides.

At the moment, the pattern page shows no reviews, so there is not much customer feedback to go on yet. Still, if you enjoy easy crochet blanket patterns, super chunky crochet throws, or quick lap blanket projects, this one looks like a solid freebie to save.

My overall take? This looks like a fast, cozy, beginner-friendly crochet blanket pattern with plenty of texture and instant-gratification energy. Very much the sort of project you start because it looks easy, then keep going because the yarn feels ridiculously soft.
