ONE FOR MOM (or yourself)

April 22, 2011 by jd wolfe

Do you know that I love felting?  Well, I do.  There is something about the entire process of turning wool yarn into a piece of fabric that needs no hemming, won’t fray, can be cut and sewn (or glued) into any number of items that really appeals to me.

This little project would make a perfect gift for Mother’s Day – or as a little treat for yourself.  It’s so simple and charming that I plan to make several!  The free pattern is available here .

Also, for an especially handy and inexpensive pair of scissors, look into the Fiskars school scissors.  They are very sharp and have a blunt safety point, making them safe and useful for the crocheter of any needleartist.  Here’s what they look like.

You can find them for $2 or less at Target and similar stores.

Free Crochet Flower Square Blanket Pattern

There’s something so timeless about a floral crochet square—and this free Flower Square Blanket pattern from HiCrochet has totally captured my heart. It’s a beautiful blend of vintage charm and fresh, modern layout, with each square showcasing a bold, blooming flower at its center. Whether you’re creating a full-size blanket or just want to experiment with the squares for cushions or smaller projects, this pattern is super versatile—and totally free.

If you’re a fan of colorful motifs and modular projects, this one’s going to be a joy to stitch. I love how each flower square feels like its own little work of art, and putting them all together really makes the whole blanket pop. It’s the kind of pattern you’ll keep coming back to—easy to customize, beginner-friendly, and endlessly satisfying. Grab your favorite yarn colors, start stitching, and let those flowers bloom!
