Mix and Match Modern Crochet Blankets

August 13, 2024 by Shellie Wilson

Create your own personalized striped blankets with a modern twist using “Mix and Match Modern Crochet Blankets.” With 100 crochet strip patterns at your fingertips, the design possibilities are endless, allowing you to mix and match to your heart’s content.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on granny squares, this book introduces a fresh approach by crocheting individual strips. This method offers a more contemporary look, with variations in pattern, color, and texture that can be tailored to match your unique style. Plus, working in a modular way makes the process portable, enjoyable, and eliminates the need for long starting chains.

Each pattern is presented in US crochet terms, complete with written instructions and charts for creating standard throw-blanket-width strips. You’ll also find tips on adjusting the width of the strips to fit smaller or larger blankets.

Explore chapters dedicated to Classic Stitches, Tapestry Crochet, Mosaic Crochet, Texture, Cables and Ribs, and Embellishments, offering endless inspiration for your creations. Additionally, the book includes five example blankets showcasing different strip combinations, along with ideas for using the strips in scarves, bags, and other homeware projects.

Discover the joy of creating unique and beautiful striped blankets that reflect your personal style with “Mix and Match Modern Crochet Blankets.”

Crochet Baby Beanie – A Sweet Beginner-Friendly Hat Pattern for Baby Showers and Handmade Gifts

This Crochet Baby Beanie is one of those simple little patterns that makes a really lovely handmade gift. It uses soft Bernat Softee Baby yarn for the hat, a fluffy Pipsqueak edging, and an optional crochet flower on the side, giving it that cute baby-shower-ready finish.

What makes this one appealing is that the shape is worked in easy rounds, starting with a magic circle and increasing up to 48 stitches before moving into the textured post-stitch section. The fluffy edging softens the whole look, and the added flower gives it a sweet decorative touch without making the project feel too fussy.

I also like that it feels like a pattern you could easily customize. You could skip the flower for a simpler baby beanie, change the colors for a more modern look, or keep the pink-and-white version for a classic handmade baby gift. It has that practical “quick weekend project” feel, which is always handy when a baby shower sneaks up on you.

If you’re looking for an easy crochet baby hat pattern with a soft, cozy finish, this one is definitely worth a look. It’s cute, giftable, and the fluffy trim gives it a little extra charm.
