Free Pattern Friday – Snuggle Blankie

This week, our Free Pattern Friday offering is the Snuggle Blankie, designed by Rachel Brockman. Made in Universal Yarn Maman, this blanket is exactly as squishable as it looks.

Knitting for a friend who’s expecting a new baby? Or maybe for yourself, since the Snuggle Blankie can be for anyone. I personally think this would be an excellent blanket to wrap up in while reading a good book, or while giving some belly rubs to my corgi!

Maman shows off the stitch definition of this labyrinth pattern beautifully, and with the self striping effect, you’ll impress everyone with what looks complex, but is actually super easy!

You could choose to make this in a solid color as well, since Maman has both wonderful options. Maman is 100% acrylic, making it an easy care choice, and it’s soft and buttery smooth to the touch. It’s also on sale 20% off through Sunday, February 22nd, so snag enough for your new Snuggle Blankie today – and maybe one for a friend, too!

Enjoy every stitch!

Free Pattern Friday – The Kobuk Cowl

Today, the Kobuk Cowl (pattern link here).

This is a fun and fast project that you can work up in a matter of hours! Using our super chunky Be Wool and Be Wool Multis always leads to full, soft, and quick work.

I recommend this as a great beginner crochet project! This cowl features V stitches, and a faux ribbing created using front and back post work. If you haven’t tried these stitch techniques a go before, definitely jump in. They are easy-peasy but look somewhat complex. It will be sure to have your friends asking the fun question “Oh my gosh, did you make that!?”

The Kobuk Cowl is named after the Kobuk Valley National Park in Alaska. The natural colors featured in this design reminded us of the cool blue waters, arctic chill, and rusted golden landscape seen in this majestic place. The second I tried in on I, was itching for some colder weather adventure. Granted, I may not make it all the way to Alaska this season, but I’ll be dreaming about it when I hike around the beautiful mountains in North Carolina!

Well there you have it! Have you ever been out to a National Park? Which one? I’d love to hear about your experience!
That’s all for now,
Happy Stitching!
