Zig Zag Baby Blanket: A Vibrant Delight for Little Ones Beginner Crochet Blanket Kit

by

I recently purchased the Zig Zag Baby Blanket kit from Mary Maxim, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. This vibrant and bold blanket is the perfect addition to any nursery, adding a burst of color and warmth.

The kit includes Mary Maxim Twinkle yarn and a well-detailed pattern, making it an ideal project for those with intermediate crochet skills. The yarn’s quality is exceptional, providing a soft and cozy feel that is gentle on a baby’s delicate skin. The color palette used in the Zig Zag design is eye-catching, making it a standout piece in any baby’s room.

The crochet pattern is well-crafted, with clear instructions that make the project enjoyable and achievable for those with some crochet experience. The finished blanket measures 32″ x 35″, making it a versatile size for various uses – from tummy time to stroller rides.

The Zig Zag Baby Blanket is not only a delightful project to work on but also makes for a thoughtful and cherished gift. The kit is reasonably priced, especially considering the high-quality materials included. I was so pleased with my purchase that I also added Mary Maxim Twinkle Baby Yarn in Pink to my order, creating a harmonious color scheme.

Overall, I highly recommend the Zig Zag Baby Blanket kit for anyone looking to create a handmade, beautiful, and practical gift for a little one. Mary Maxim has once again delivered a top-notch product that combines quality materials with a well-designed pattern, ensuring a rewarding and enjoyable crochet experience.

Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket TOGETHER

We’re kicking off June 1st (plenty of time to order your kit and hide it from your cat/kids/overzealous cleaning habits). Every Saturday, we’ll tackle a new chunk of the pattern together—with plenty of moral support for when your yarn does that weird loopy thing (you know the one).

Let’s Make the Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket

Here’s How This Works:

Week 1 (June 1-7):

  •  Procrastinator’s Shopping Spree
    “Wait, I need what size hook?!” – Check your kit (or raid your stash)
    “But what if I pick the wrong color?!” – Post your yarn options in the comments and let us vote!

Week 2 (June 8-14):

  •  The “Oh God, Why Is My Edge So Wobbly?” Phase
    I’ll go live on Instagram to demo how to fix the classic beginner blunders (and yes, we’ll laugh about it afterward).

Week 3 (June 15-21):

  •  Mid-CAL Crisis Support Group
    Hit a wall? Post a photo of your blanket-in-progress with your beverage of choice (wine counts as a “beverage”). Best “I Need More Coffee” face wins a surprise yarny gift!

Week 4 (June 22-30):

  •  Ta-Dah! Party
    Show off your finished blanket—even if one corner looks suspiciously trapezoid-shaped. We’re here for the vibes, not geometry.

Why You Should Join:

  •  No perfection allowed (This is a judge-free zone)
  •  Real-time help (I’ll be stalking the hashtag #LowinkCAL daily)
  •  Sneaky giveaways (Because who doesn’t love free hooks?)

Comment “I’m in!” below—and tell me:
Are you using the kit yarn or going rogue with your stash?
 What’s your crochet nemesis? (Mine is counting stitches after row 10…)

P.S. Tag that friend who “doesn’t have time” to learn crochet. We’ll change their minds!
