Patchwork Crochet Sampler Blanket ~ Repost


Hello! 

I am Nutmeg, Crochet Kitty Inspector!

If you have clicked on our blog from other social media 

because you are interested in how we made 

this pink and gray Patchwork Blanket,  

you will find the start of this blanket ... 


Patchwork Sampler Blanket ~ Started Here in 2022


The large squares were all made from the 

Afghan Crochet Sampler Crochet Along @ Inspired by Wren


Then we made smaller rectangular and square blocks to add to the fun.

All of these were free patterns that we found online 

and links made be found in posts that are labeled  " Squares Crochet Sampler" 

or "Patchwork Crochet."


We completed this
in May, 2022.

I do share is blanket with my sister kitties.  


We love this blanket.

We hope you will enjoy making and snuggling in your blanket, too.

Happy Crocheting! 



2024 ~ A Year of Crochet


 2024 was the year I renewed my love of crochet.

It started with this spring blanket

which was a crochet along on TikTok.


This is Nutmeg's favorite blanket,
although she happily snuggles in whatever 
I am currently working on.


Then I started the summer crochet along blanket.


I spent the summer in my adirondack rocker on the back porch 
and made this long summer shawl in cotton yarn.


This probably my personal favorite. 


I added a long fringe to this one. 


I enjoyed these colors and stitches so much
 that I made a second blanket in acrylic worsted weight yarn
 and gifted it to one of my sons for his reading room. 


I had some leftover yarn so I made this baby/throw size blanket 
as a donation to a silent auction fundraiser for a local youth camp. 


Then I sat in my porch rocker as summer waned in September
 and made this autumn star blanket.
This is the 6 Day Star Blanket by Betty McKnit
although I did not complete it in six days.
It took me three weeks but I also started a new crochet along blanket.


I completed this Halloween blanket in time for the witching hour. 


In November I started this Christmas themed blanket 
on my own and designed it as I crocheted.
I call this my "Ugly Christmas Sweater Blanket." 


My kitties and I are enjoying the soft and snuggly blankets
and are starting a new year of crochet. 

My sewing machine has mostly been sitting idle.
I do hope to finish a quilt project of two this year.

May you and yours have a happy, healthy, prosperous 2025!
