✨ New Retro Poncho Drop + Cozy Winter Makes!
|
Hey friends! I’ve got something super fun for you this week, and if you’re into those scrappy vintage granny vibes, you’re gonna love it. I just released a FREE Retro Granny Stripe Crochet Poncho Pattern, and honestly… I’m obsessed with how it turned out. It’s bright, funky, changes colors every round, and it gives off major “cool grandma but make it fashion” energy. This poncho is beginner-friendly, works up fast, and is one of those rhythmic, zone-out-and-crochet projects we all need right now. And yes—there’s a free color chart so you can follow my exact retro palette or go full scrappy chaos. You do you. If you prefer to print patterns or keep them saved on your tablet, I also dropped the digital PDF version in my shop. No ads, clean layout, easy to follow. As always, thanks for being part of my cozy little corner of the internet. I love sharing these patterns with you, and it makes my day every time you tag me in your makes. Keep sending those pics—I want to see your poncho colors! Need to buy new yarn? Here's a 15% off discount code for Crochet.com. It's a great online shop for yarns, hooks and other accessories.

Hi there, I’ve got two new quilting posts up on the blog this week that I think you’ll find really helpful. The first post is all about Choosing the Best Color Thread for Quilting.

The second post breaks down Precuts vs. Yardage for Quilting If you’ve ever stood in the fabric store deciding between a jelly roll, layer cake,...
Hi Friend, I’ve got two cozy projects waiting for you this week and they are both so good. First up is the Reverse Blanket Stitch Lap Blanket. This one has big, bold chunks of color with a simple granny stripe border. It’s an easy repeat (multiples of 4!) and works up beautifully in just two large skeins. If you’re more in a quilting mood, my new Ohio Stars Quilt Pattern is a classic block with an modern update. This quilt uses an blocks turned on point and then made into squares with strip...
