I think I must be the only adult on the planet who has not seen this movie or even heard the entire song that every little princess (and some princes too) is singing.  But, I am aware that the movie Frozen has been an amazing smash hit and that its impact among children of a certain age (could that be all of us?) have fallen under its spell.

Laura has created this Princess Anna inspired pattern and is offering it to all of us for free!  So, if you have been asked, begged, or cajoled to make something – anything – Frozen for your little ones, this is it.  It’s such a pretty hat that even an un-Frozen princess might like it too.  Ahemmmm.  Me, for instance?

Check out Laura’s blog and get this pattern today.

With the release of the second Frozen movie everything crochet Elsa, Ana and Frozen is going to be crazy popular again. These crochet patterns are sure to be a big hit with your little Frozen fan. Have you seen the second Frozen movie yet? Maybe you haven’t even seen the first Frozen movie?   You may want to take some tissues to the 2nd movie as it gets a little sad at times.

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.
