I finished a mini blanket using Mayhem & Majesty's heart square. I used an H hook. I made these squares when I made the ones used in the large afghan but these came out larger and I didn't want to mix them. I joined them and added the white border. I am pleased with how it came out.
Finished size is about 23" square.
Happy crocheting!

Here's an afghan that is NOT from my stash. LOL I've been wanting to make a few of these squares from Mayhem & Majesty's 2025 CAL so I bit the bullet and bought yarn specifically for this. I had a deadline in mind so I wanted a few squares I could do quickly without following the filet design so I added the white ones and just added one row of filet top and bottom.
You can get the patterns for free on the blog as they come out or you can opt to purchase the ebook with all the patterns. The information on the CAL can be found here. It's a double CAL with both a filet and a mosaic pattern.
Finished size is about 55" x 61". Each rectangle is about 18" x 20".
Happy crocheting!

Another afghan made from stash yarn. This one uses #3 weight. Paintbox simply dk and others. I used an H hook. Finished size is about 40" x 44".
Pattern is straight dc. 87 rows. Wide strips are ch 52. Narrow strip is ch 27. The border is one round of double crochet followed by one round of (sc, ch 2, 2 dc, sk 2).
While this is not my favorite project it's certainly serviceable and will keep one warm. My stash is getting smaller and my yarn choices are not as great as at the beginning.
Happy crocheting!

Apparently granny square cardigans are the thing. Look at Jason Momoa and Jack Black wearing theirs, made by Tosha Marie Treat Yo Self Crochet. Visit her Etsy shop.
I also saw this cute thing at the same site.
Here's what I've been working on. About 42" square blanket. H hook. DK #3 weight yarn in pastel colors. No pattern. I just worked a few rows in different stitches. Most of the yarn is Stylecraft Special DK or Paintbox Simply DK.
Happy crocheting!

My hubby kindly picked up the yarn I needed to finish the little heart blanket and the larger one.
Here's the blue one. Finished size is about 29" x 32". I used the birthday hook (shown in this entry) for all squares.
Here's the larger one. 43" x 48". The black border is I Love This Yarn. The rest are leftovers from my stash. Do you see the error? I didn't see it until someone pointed it out to me.
Happy crocheting!
