This Way to Rows of Posies: Two New Blankets!

This Way...

...to see Rows of Posies...

Rows of Posiet Blanket Crochet Pattern by Felted Button

Can you believe I've got two new blanket designs ready for you? I posted pictures of both of these on my Facebook page asking which you wanted to have available first, and it was pretty much a tie. So I decided to release them together. Let me tell you about them...

Both designs call for I Love This Cotton by Hobby Lobby which is a favorite of mine--mostly because it has some beautiful colors to choose from, is super soft, and very affordable!

But you could use any yarn you want--even busting your stash! I particularly think my This Way Blanket would look pretty in a solid color--really highlighting the wonderful texture. And Rows of Posies would be fabulous in neutral rows of flowers with a colorful variegated in between. Actually, I tried that when I was playing with the stitch pattern here...

The sample Rows of Posies uses this totally terrific variegated yarn from Yarn Bee (Hobby Lobby, too) called Mimic. It has a little glimmery shimmery shine to it which makes the blanket look a tad fancy, but it is still washable. And although I'm not a super huge fan of short-run variegated yarns, I think this design makes fabulous use of the short color changes as the colors don't blend and "muddy".

These are both written as good-sized crib blankets, but they include instructions for changing up the sizes using the included multiple--easy peasy. I say, bust that stash!

If you want more details about the yarn, quantities, skill levels, etc, head to my Etsy shop and read more about them. And don't forget the discount--use code ESAVE3 at checkout on Etsy to save $3 if you spend $16.50.

You can also find both of these patterns in my shops:

I've got another pattern rolling off my hook--and the colors for it make me super duper happy! But color has a way of doing that. How about you?
