Portia created this unique ‘statement’ necklace using some links of metal chain and simple crochet stitches.  Isn’t it cool?  I can think of a number of ways to use this technique to embellish my crochet.  I think the statement necklace would be very interesting composed of graduated lengths of chain to create a V shape.  I also think this design would be a cool addition to a tote bag, like an applique.  Same for a jacket lapel, only smaller.  A brooch can be made instead of the necklace shown.  Any way you can think to use the idea, Portia has given us this free pattern and a very helpful picture tutorial so we can each create our own unique piece.

Heartwarming Patterns for Precious Memories

Ellie Cook’s Crochet Baby Blanket: A Collection of 13 Baby Blanket Patterns is a treasure trove of cozy inspiration. This Kindle edition offers something truly special: the chance to create timeless baby blankets that are as practical as they are heartfelt.

The variety of designs ensures that there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner picking up your hook for the first time or a seasoned crocheter seeking a fun and creative challenge. The instructions are clear, with step-by-step guidance that helps even the most intricate designs feel achievable.

One standout pattern for me was the [insert your favorite pattern here, e.g., “textured ripple blanket”]. It struck the perfect balance of being visually striking while still maintaining that soft, baby-friendly texture.

The language throughout the book is warm and encouraging, making it feel like Ellie is right there beside you, cheering you on with every stitch. I also appreciated the tips sprinkled throughout, especially the advice on selecting the right yarns to ensure durability and softness.

While this book is only available on certain Kindle devices and apps, it’s worth checking compatibility because the high-quality images and formatting make the patterns easy to follow.
