Okay. This is not crocheted – BUT…. one of the best gifts my mother ever made for any of my brothers was the year she made them log carriers. She sewed the ones she made. BUT… why not crochet one? It would not be difficult and I don’t think you’d even need a pattern. Very much like a sturdy tote – only open-sided. If the guy you need a gift for has a fireplace, this is what he needs, right? However, should you decide to buy him one instead of making it, feel free to order this one for $225.00.

These are really cute Christmas gift bags. I go through these really fast – I mean using them. I need to make a bunch. Pattern here .

These little stars can be used for a multitude of things. Package toppers. Appliques. Earrings. Garlands. Ornaments. I just love them! Don’t limit yourself to the colorway shown here. Use some sparkly yarn or thread and a cute brass button. Crochet them with black thread and glue a couple Swarovski crystals in the middle. Use packing twine and shirt buttons for a homespun look. Work them up in chunky yarn, spray with glue and glitter, and hang on the tree. Can I stop now or do you want me to keep going? I bet you get the idea. Make lots. Get the pattern here .

Absolutely EVERYONE will want one of these! Too cute! Get the pattern here .

After all this crocheting, you need to make something for yourself. So, crochet this little number, draw a bubble bath, light a couple candles, and soak yourself nicely. You’re worth it – or you know someone who is!

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.
