new design with you. Good news for those who enjoyed the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/archway-square" target="_blank">Archway Square</a>, as the
new pattern is also a large brioche square which can be turned into an infinity
stitch pattern. I named it <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blomma-square" target="_blank">Blomma</a>, as it reminds me of the flower. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4_TQMf3M8IQ2noq7ivUSVufQwFnygQ72uSw0HCP8Q99zLAPBh_uoh6G3DynUhoNrRC47nZhQMNlJLTErTMCMXO2ubX81j_8y5hyphenhyphenNK0UaIPEpsFlynt_zat-sWZARV4wG9-fbVyncnZV1gIU8Ku9F1ujkPWGYWPpDPfC2a7P5b455FhxV3BFGESyQjPg/s1600/005-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4_TQMf3M8IQ2noq7ivUSVufQwFnygQ72uSw0HCP8Q99zLAPBh_uoh6G3DynUhoNrRC47nZhQMNlJLTErTMCMXO2ubX81j_8y5hyphenhyphenNK0UaIPEpsFlynt_zat-sWZARV4wG9-fbVyncnZV1gIU8Ku9F1ujkPWGYWPpDPfC2a7P5b455FhxV3BFGESyQjPg/s1600/005-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p><b>Blomma Square

time I start working on a new project, I say to myself it should be a beginner-friendly one. Not in the way it looks or how it is constructed, but in a way how
the stitch pattern flows, and how this is reflected in the written instructions.</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p></p><p>It means that the crochet design which looks intricate would necessarily be
difficult to make. I sometimes get messages from the beginning designers asking
about my own designing process. Of course, everything (and always) starts with
inspiration. In a burnt-out mode, it is not easy to design something unique and
appealing. </p><p>Basically, the easier the design process goes, the more chances are
that the result will be great. And if you are stuck from the beginning, it often
means something is wrong and creative spirit is blocked at some point. And then
it is better to leave the idea aside and create something else. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV4dL51KcVhAWn1S7puZEs1aP0wRxZ4gNk8p_IUUGKh1o7nompV7CLLJII7GZ609J9pmeUZaKfvE0-0cXbkD8cWixy5077WI1hbnkLW_mZZwZ7QGFFfSd8fem6YjYGbrkC0sXFznHEl0ZwLPEP2awRmE_5yekJwVRvnmdJ59dWz0MjeyWoSHFQCKAdyw/s1600/001-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV4dL51KcVhAWn1S7puZEs1aP0wRxZ4gNk8p_IUUGKh1o7nompV7CLLJII7GZ609J9pmeUZaKfvE0-0cXbkD8cWixy5077WI1hbnkLW_mZZwZ7QGFFfSd8fem6YjYGbrkC0sXFznHEl0ZwLPEP2awRmE_5yekJwVRvnmdJ59dWz0MjeyWoSHFQCKAdyw/s1600/001-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>I never draw
sketches beforehand. Usually there is a rough idea inside my head, but I prefer
to draw with yarn right away. So, the beginning of every design of mine always
starts with a ball of yarn and a hook, late in the evening, in front of the TV. </p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>Somehow the first rows or rounds with simple stitches bring in a certain mood,
and slowly after each new round the idea becomes clearer. The designing process
does involve lots of frogging and remaking. It would be ambitious to think that
genius stitch patterns come to the world on the first try. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7CZsK963taDJDSiCinaBdlHD2ShtPzz5HIC43jcgtW9WguYXTtb4zJK1_8N1kLijOgM-70xePE48b1Lom-9OBk3ScBrk337AP1OxYj4lknXDT_BeyTOpvf5Yw4ZAU_GeOsvkb-tvfCph_1OK3rbIzoka7gHQ8ScoBCnLQbCzVaVFP4JjJMIudKzMB7A/s1600/015-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7CZsK963taDJDSiCinaBdlHD2ShtPzz5HIC43jcgtW9WguYXTtb4zJK1_8N1kLijOgM-70xePE48b1Lom-9OBk3ScBrk337AP1OxYj4lknXDT_BeyTOpvf5Yw4ZAU_GeOsvkb-tvfCph_1OK3rbIzoka7gHQ8ScoBCnLQbCzVaVFP4JjJMIudKzMB7A/s1600/015-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p>And when I say
genius, I mean the stitch patterns which are perfect regarding maths, with
perfect stitch counts and repeats, which are easy to write down. And the last is
probably the most important in the crochet design, for me at least. Which makes
the pattern doable for crocheters with different skill levels.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI19MS2uK6mbUBEBFDrXmR58LmLaPIgfGOeWZsjCc1Acu6ztYQ63Q8GUF7CxyXSaBCGW8YiqfMgpcdEQPb8qMcSI1sCB1qqzhkfVgHOn6pwOmdUikyRkrSp7xyM9MrE79l8opcPjQFXNS-Pjg5umkrBqjOlFxyhse89VLhfepyLWedb6BdYYKh19NC_g/s1600/009-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI19MS2uK6mbUBEBFDrXmR58LmLaPIgfGOeWZsjCc1Acu6ztYQ63Q8GUF7CxyXSaBCGW8YiqfMgpcdEQPb8qMcSI1sCB1qqzhkfVgHOn6pwOmdUikyRkrSp7xyM9MrE79l8opcPjQFXNS-Pjg5umkrBqjOlFxyhse89VLhfepyLWedb6BdYYKh19NC_g/s1600/009-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>Of course, not
all my crochet designs are “genius” in that way, but with every new project I am
trying to get closer to this ideal and make written instructions as easy to
follow as possible. Brioche crochet is one of those techniques which look
extremely intricate, and not even doable. </p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>But Archway Square proved that
crafters with advanced beginner skills can handle the pattern. Basically, the
required minimum level is to know how to do basic crochet stitches. And the rest
is only about their placement, which is explained in the pattern. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgerLYvkSCtw2GuYMIZjdt8K7JLShxBFFNAj0o7qv8wxxPNRLZgtUdpE4KiS5dfhsGUd8sH7aS1cbQaZ963ZRur5oYWRzIHlv4zM08isvjlu5uxl9OZhuBsxsTiW371HQQzJ8C0zmPimbb4FCAJDnMGBO1dSOsOPqRyBduMnHr_5rhkqVYuThqGcZowNg/s1600/013-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgerLYvkSCtw2GuYMIZjdt8K7JLShxBFFNAj0o7qv8wxxPNRLZgtUdpE4KiS5dfhsGUd8sH7aS1cbQaZ963ZRur5oYWRzIHlv4zM08isvjlu5uxl9OZhuBsxsTiW371HQQzJ8C0zmPimbb4FCAJDnMGBO1dSOsOPqRyBduMnHr_5rhkqVYuThqGcZowNg/s1600/013-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p>If you did

squares with an invisible technique (explained in the pattern). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtfAx5WDvY4undLqgmyoj-fLr6VFZSI2RlFvFhgba7wtTTo5oxpiwcTCSsXgPjv-t8ULvRqkoF1CtdxbVwmUnomCAkdORi6etZeitGRu4QvywzgSfoq87lMOkPW9oKsWGwNJQ4ky7UyDpYHm5hHX81BkduKVPB0hk6HYRCf19DG0qwA-omZHWW6tHpQ/s1600/011-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtfAx5WDvY4undLqgmyoj-fLr6VFZSI2RlFvFhgba7wtTTo5oxpiwcTCSsXgPjv-t8ULvRqkoF1CtdxbVwmUnomCAkdORi6etZeitGRu4QvywzgSfoq87lMOkPW9oKsWGwNJQ4ky7UyDpYHm5hHX81BkduKVPB0hk6HYRCf19DG0qwA-omZHWW6tHpQ/s1600/011-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p>For my pillow, I

I hope you had a relaxing holiday and time to meditate and reflex on the passing year. I do not make resolutions for a new year, as I think life does not finish on December 31st and does not start again on January 1st. And I do not really believe that it is possible to become a different person overnight. Though of course the last days of the year kind of force to think of what you’d like to bring to a new year. And what new achievements you’d like to make. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGx-3W31SEZ67tz8cfvTJUXtZPtVY-ePgp-CyExYGpqF-wUzf7HPZO47JvmUwLpu6Og_WWiNFrl7_ncwB9j5F1dHuDIBzkpaVac3_L5iOa47zw0sEr69gHgLZ8HMIxSN-8LQCa21dobfwfVrO2IyKd7oEPxMB90HJ3TkDDu_5aBoELYs7J8SWIJkhdlg/s1600/Friday-Balaclava-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2666" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGx-3W31SEZ67tz8cfvTJUXtZPtVY-ePgp-CyExYGpqF-wUzf7HPZO47JvmUwLpu6Og_WWiNFrl7_ncwB9j5F1dHuDIBzkpaVac3_L5iOa47zw0sEr69gHgLZ8HMIxSN-8LQCa21dobfwfVrO2IyKd7oEPxMB90HJ3TkDDu_5aBoELYs7J8SWIJkhdlg/s1600/Friday-Balaclava-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p>I’d like to become a better person.

<p>There is one pattern that I finished in December and planned to release before New Year's Eve. But in the holiday rush with a <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/one-evening-mystery-mal" target="_blank">One Evening Mystery make-a-long </a>(which was a huge success – thank you for all the love you gave my tiny patterns) I felt like that new pattern can wait for a while.

And I should admit, I am very happy with how it turned out. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV0_9iXi1IsIrfzN-wiMVzJVCS4QIc7E41BeHmEMo6dlmDTP0iwEcS41gwDwW2qlEhekP3huBrIwWnA9HFGH5GULriDPT_4OGMQM6MTETJa92X8XyR7kO7pXnF-DFKIVtEIlLeta3e3PlNmZi2hy5cFo31UBuVlE8djtzt5EoMCplV_N3lAzThNlPc9g/s1600/Friday-Balaclava-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2666" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV0_9iXi1IsIrfzN-wiMVzJVCS4QIc7E41BeHmEMo6dlmDTP0iwEcS41gwDwW2qlEhekP3huBrIwWnA9HFGH5GULriDPT_4OGMQM6MTETJa92X8XyR7kO7pXnF-DFKIVtEIlLeta3e3PlNmZi2hy5cFo31UBuVlE8djtzt5EoMCplV_N3lAzThNlPc9g/s1600/Friday-Balaclava-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>I’ve made four Friday Balaclavas, and they have already been claimed by my friends.

I made two balaclavas with Scheepjes Merino Soft yarn (fantastic feel) and one balaclava for myself with Scheepjes Metropolis and Scheepjes Rhythm Mohair held together. </p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>The gauge for the latest was a little bigger, but I love the roomy shape, as slim fitted hats and hoods do not suit my face.
And if you cannot wear wool, then Scheepjes Stonewashed is also an option. The stitch definition with this yarn looks great and the fabric is warm enough to protect from cold and wind. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCr-i5uVM9ahbB7cNqkwJlWul2YGcpYROqTHHxnfC8ZkCHacLtCRoipqYLrDz3Dt_PGbA0_Ldrvf3-Vk-MbrbdmmDCS7H89pqXlL-HB9GPHW7WEmg_Tx-gSiORdzi1r3Gzp1UPdybvgNagDjrRGRqSbnuIo3HIWhSr4EePplV1nYF-2-fQ4Cqyh51rA/s1600/Friday-Balaclava-8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2666" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCr-i5uVM9ahbB7cNqkwJlWul2YGcpYROqTHHxnfC8ZkCHacLtCRoipqYLrDz3Dt_PGbA0_Ldrvf3-Vk-MbrbdmmDCS7H89pqXlL-HB9GPHW7WEmg_Tx-gSiORdzi1r3Gzp1UPdybvgNagDjrRGRqSbnuIo3HIWhSr4EePplV1nYF-2-fQ4Cqyh51rA/s1600/Friday-Balaclava-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>Check all colors of Scheepjes yarns in your <a href="https://www.scheepjes.com/en/shops/" target="_blank">local Scheepjes store</a>, or via online retailers: <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=819303&u=1168881&m=63378&urllink=www%2Ewoolwarehouse%2Eco%2Euk%2Fscheepjes%2Dmerino%2Dsoft%2Dchagall%2D655%2D50g&afftrack=" target="_blank">Wool Warehouse</a>* (UK & international shipping), <a href="https://caros-atelier.webshopapp.com/tracking/tradetracker/redirect/?tt=27390_12_298563_&r=%2Fscheepjes-stone-washed-moon-stone-801.html" target="_blank">Caro’s Atelier</a>* (NL & Europe), <a href="https://www.taemombo.com/" target="_blank">Taemombo</a>* (US & Canada). </p><p>Find the pattern for Friday Balaclava on <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/friday-balaclava" target="_blank">Ravelry HERE</a> and <a href="https://lillabjorncrochet.etsy.com/listing/1655488863">Etsy HERE</a>. </p><p>Coming back to New Year's resolutions, it feels satisfying to enter the new year with a new design.

<p>And if you do not own the patterns yet, but would like to join, you can grab your copy on <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/one-evening-mystery-mal" target="_blank">Ravelry HERE</a> and newly on Etsy HERE. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bnPTOnM66UWVtpIZMSa1JwLv4G3B5fhNK37HxNwmeUkzYPrLgIeCS8fR2LeGYSPYXcyp2KFkKqf2BVWygOXdNyBsQs167XWnXh6QgOsl3OmUAsINYHa0Jrl4777UzABi_DKhXoQ0EQn1nywF93h6Q_E1ZdVu7cjPnzA17SGfuVRSdM7wSKsAJVWERQ/s1600/One-evening-coaster-1-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bnPTOnM66UWVtpIZMSa1JwLv4G3B5fhNK37HxNwmeUkzYPrLgIeCS8fR2LeGYSPYXcyp2KFkKqf2BVWygOXdNyBsQs167XWnXh6QgOsl3OmUAsINYHa0Jrl4777UzABi_DKhXoQ0EQn1nywF93h6Q_E1ZdVu7cjPnzA17SGfuVRSdM7wSKsAJVWERQ/s1600/One-evening-coaster-1-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>And if you would like to make even more small and cute hanging ornaments, check out an e-book with 7 patterns <a href="https://shop.lillabjorncrochet.com/Crochet-Hanging-Ornaments-e-book-p612441808" target="_blank">HERE on our website</a>. </p><p>One Evening Coaster is a compact design with a practical ridge preventing glasses and cups from sliding off the coaster. It is small, but also big enough to get a nice introduction into the brioche crochet technique, with a helpful video tutorial accompanying the pattern. </p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>And except of learning the technique, you will also get a chance to practice making modified crochet clusters.
For a better result, choose a light and dark color for the center of the coaster, with a bright accent color for the last rounds. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xJJltLa5tCONnWv-fx0klBvV9noBm7Hb73APxGFdN-9npybvAnsExkywJnwHHPROmXiMR48cwvbqBDusqnzoHHGhyy3txL8RUoSgMr8i6yenx9Fi8nKTFKytf5_Pumc5jov51HKWfDRGfH0yzn12v7Up38wpn84JuDq9Yk2SuJ2pXBcFrf_fIGOR9Q/s1600/One-evening-coaster-4-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xJJltLa5tCONnWv-fx0klBvV9noBm7Hb73APxGFdN-9npybvAnsExkywJnwHHPROmXiMR48cwvbqBDusqnzoHHGhyy3txL8RUoSgMr8i6yenx9Fi8nKTFKytf5_Pumc5jov51HKWfDRGfH0yzn12v7Up38wpn84JuDq9Yk2SuJ2pXBcFrf_fIGOR9Q/s1600/One-evening-coaster-4-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>And make a set of several coasters by switching placement of the colors for each new motif. </p><p>Brioche has been one of my most favourite crochet techniques over the last couple of years.

Last week’s project was a bit intense, but hopefully you could manage and complete the bauble with the help of video tutorials and progress pictures. I am thankful that you share your gorgeous pictures on social media, so that I can see and admire them. This week we are making a small and charming hanging ornament. Let me introduce you to One Evening Snowflake (and a bonus little star). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5CtOKqe7S2uZYDIO7A9dMdt1G_gKTaY1hOr3pmnTlL1skdldpAAMUpf8ICeJFF3mzH8CCWoiFcHqUyQ4tCpgYf5ViykC2Q3xHjDzI8YlNJz91tWIkonkZaJCeUK7gcoF1hQl5UDhfYNvQ-s0x4MaEhIhEJO-oB2D5FNNit2_Y9DF8UXVMkuoRyuW6Ew/s1600/One-evening-Snowflake-16-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5CtOKqe7S2uZYDIO7A9dMdt1G_gKTaY1hOr3pmnTlL1skdldpAAMUpf8ICeJFF3mzH8CCWoiFcHqUyQ4tCpgYf5ViykC2Q3xHjDzI8YlNJz91tWIkonkZaJCeUK7gcoF1hQl5UDhfYNvQ-s0x4MaEhIhEJO-oB2D5FNNit2_Y9DF8UXVMkuoRyuW6Ew/s1600/One-evening-Snowflake-16-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>Don’t own the MAL pattern yet? <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/one-evening-mystery-mal" target="_blank">Grab your copy on Ravelry HERE</a>. </p><p>I should admit that this week’s pattern was a bit of a designing challenge for me. All 4 projects for the make-a-long were designed and ready to go long ago. But suddenly, last week, my inner perfectionist decided that the project I prepared for this week was not good enough. </p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>So, while you were busy with the baubles, I literally redesigned the snowflake from scratch, recorded the video and made progress pictures. I kind of joined the MAL but was running one week ahead of you.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUAtU7zmDgoVlv2iYDsuEPv9LSuizVl3RK4ZC_3nAZ1Mr8OtS4o-eEaICSd93mkK159tXM8sjfOIdiyevu5qmgt9apUOIXOr1iO-o7RpcRDS4RN2fyPXuINLUJ4dhKUqyU1aEGQwWaO9TbdHNp06u3V8aTDpchRa8LNOKuGjDY3zaVYtXh8zNndl2VoQ/s1600/One-evening-Snowflake-9-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUAtU7zmDgoVlv2iYDsuEPv9LSuizVl3RK4ZC_3nAZ1Mr8OtS4o-eEaICSd93mkK159tXM8sjfOIdiyevu5qmgt9apUOIXOr1iO-o7RpcRDS4RN2fyPXuINLUJ4dhKUqyU1aEGQwWaO9TbdHNp06u3V8aTDpchRa8LNOKuGjDY3zaVYtXh8zNndl2VoQ/s1600/One-evening-Snowflake-9-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>Designing lace patterns is not my strongest part. I have always admired lovely textured doilies other designers created. And wished I could do something similar one day. But well, to grow into something you need to start with something small. </p>

<p>I took this challenge and created a small textured snowflake, with popcorns, front post stitches and picots. And I am very happy with how it turned out.
You can use this snowflake as a separate hanging ornament, or assembly a few of them into a wall decoration. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUZdA7BT-ny4l7lEaMQ7upQff_SnAd_yga1dsOV_BinR9pvj8FOhsHCy8Wrje280OoY1X6X318acAvD9ztkgUZCR9YbQQznF4QTTaeIwJNaUwAkwaXKMwMQjGGPKFN1OT6lfIoVHy38ZNzw1NSjBfJqE1NrJ8igLQgBAruugTKwMFTcx6WMi2w3x-ew/s1600/One-evening-Snowflake-13-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUZdA7BT-ny4l7lEaMQ7upQff_SnAd_yga1dsOV_BinR9pvj8FOhsHCy8Wrje280OoY1X6X318acAvD9ztkgUZCR9YbQQznF4QTTaeIwJNaUwAkwaXKMwMQjGGPKFN1OT6lfIoVHy38ZNzw1NSjBfJqE1NrJ8igLQgBAruugTKwMFTcx6WMi2w3x-ew/s1600/One-evening-Snowflake-13-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p>Surprisingly, we have got some snow in the Czech Republic over the last couple of days, and slow falling snowflakes against the dark sky inspired me to create a wall hanging. </p><p>The other day we went for a walk to the forest in search of the fallen branches which I could use for this project.

And if you bought a ready kit from <a href="https://www.taemombo.com/" target="_blank">Taemombo</a>, then you should have enough yarn to make 4 baubles (as well as 4 mug wraps, and more of the projects which will come in next weeks). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNDbNPzW6zkpS-9eMwgxsAPmC4alD7pdHq-fCL31FLQuCCG91rrtJDcwnOJLzubyOZIRgPix9vkzu1vjostm4QAjhMTLuxfUzUOuV8_3HMojh-AGAox238aZTyD2-FJWcc6ysbCsHbrj86HXmAUWinzaQ9dpD0JawemgBrrnQm0PwaU27O5edt2WZJxQ/s1600/One-evening-bauble-8-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNDbNPzW6zkpS-9eMwgxsAPmC4alD7pdHq-fCL31FLQuCCG91rrtJDcwnOJLzubyOZIRgPix9vkzu1vjostm4QAjhMTLuxfUzUOuV8_3HMojh-AGAox238aZTyD2-FJWcc6ysbCsHbrj86HXmAUWinzaQ9dpD0JawemgBrrnQm0PwaU27O5edt2WZJxQ/s1600/One-evening-bauble-8-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p>Again, the pattern includes a detailed photo-tutorial to help with the color placement, and a video tutorial explaining both techniques. </p>

you follow my designing work for a while, you might know that every year we are
hosting a fun project, which is joined by many people from different parts of
the world. Though it is always introduced in winter around Christmastime, we do
not tie it with specific celebrations, as projects from the MALs can be used and
can decorate your homes throughout the year. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOauqpgHZHfqrztsaCBHML9Twqa-OmcKnQin5n36KdEUZiRFkxaJV82JQGa50D-MQR5krSMhBKqyrz0uZ99fMzw2y5r4cnMVvC45pYF2hw41KDmS6oLBT5LNHtb0kc57aFgAXrkskA8WRHZ7uW4ugyW19brAHktO_IWZexFQNsZkIesIDlwWuTbxmWsQ/s1600/Mug-Wrap-4-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOauqpgHZHfqrztsaCBHML9Twqa-OmcKnQin5n36KdEUZiRFkxaJV82JQGa50D-MQR5krSMhBKqyrz0uZ99fMzw2y5r4cnMVvC45pYF2hw41KDmS6oLBT5LNHtb0kc57aFgAXrkskA8WRHZ7uW4ugyW19brAHktO_IWZexFQNsZkIesIDlwWuTbxmWsQ/s1600/Mug-Wrap-4-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p>We’ve had three make-a-longs in the

<p>Because crafters are
usually busy by the end of the year making custom orders for their clients and
gifts for family and friends, this year we have decided to create small but
effective crochet projects. All doable in just one evening. Just like a small,
satisfying break from the current work you are doing (finishing) right now. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9hfH6L9BkHMBvFHLgNz1NPIFEKm4wHdwfrDk2o1mFpGsjR4OOmozJv5qQL3o2EHjCBu8q5qRCb_Qn7h0OgyfEShisKNe5CxJzNtKGicEkefMxIZvKGSc8fv58sISuYJbwq2OWx_B3ARpQsiTkzUZ66wnLh9WzEcLAQln1-RO2zyGoTwdSp2Oki8ifA/s1600/Mug-Wrap-5-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9hfH6L9BkHMBvFHLgNz1NPIFEKm4wHdwfrDk2o1mFpGsjR4OOmozJv5qQL3o2EHjCBu8q5qRCb_Qn7h0OgyfEShisKNe5CxJzNtKGicEkefMxIZvKGSc8fv58sISuYJbwq2OWx_B3ARpQsiTkzUZ66wnLh9WzEcLAQln1-RO2zyGoTwdSp2Oki8ifA/s1600/Mug-Wrap-5-blog.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p> </p><p>The

<p>This year
I tried to design simple patterns but still with a certain interest for the
advanced crocheters. The pattern comes with written row-by-row instructions,
progress pictures and a detailed video-tutorial. I believe, with all kinds of
support, this mug wrap is doable for a crochet beginner. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_L0a5SKV0G4gD2-Bet_brqFtPRzG4yCTfjre2DNDZHxrl0244MOtmd9mwhfLkX_yanJRQucvNhNmMkgYSPjeocn8Dfkbe0SQC3uYNtYpRh746Y5cy8Rgoa8RJX68JAvjssiHfSef0yLHNgZmy3CtVd0Oq-VDNcUOr72lTSXxIgT8azKpp5ZwxbOHMhg/s1600/Mug-Wrap-3-blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_L0a5SKV0G4gD2-Bet_brqFtPRzG4yCTfjre2DNDZHxrl0244MOtmd9mwhfLkX_yanJRQucvNhNmMkgYSPjeocn8Dfkbe0SQC3uYNtYpRh746Y5cy8Rgoa8RJX68JAvjssiHfSef0yLHNgZmy3CtVd0Oq-VDNcUOr72lTSXxIgT8azKpp5ZwxbOHMhg/s1600/Mug-Wrap-3-blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p> To complete One Evening

It’s officially a sweater season here in the Czech Republic. And to celebrate,
I have just released a freshly new <i>Lola Cardigan</i>. This design is special for
several reasons for me. It followed the period of creative darkness in my
world and helped me to cope through. And also, because I decided to use my own
colorway Lilla Bjorn of <i>Scheepjes Our Tribe</i> yarn.

<p>
When I was thinking about new garment design, I wanted to achieve a kind of
vintage look, so used lots of popcorn, bobble and picot stitches. Together
they create a highly textured round yoke, and the good news is that you can
use scraps of yarn for that.
</p>

I believe that you could use leftovers from your stash not only in colors from
one brand, but also from different brands in a similar weight. I felt like
extending texture to the lower body as well and added ribs throughout. And of
course, a tiny textured detail for the cuff.

To make the story short, Lola Cardigan is all about texture, coziness, and
warmth.
</p>
<p>
Lola Cardigan is a top-down garment which is worked as one piece with no
seams. It comes in 10 sizes to fit actual bust 32-54in/81-137cm.

difficult techniques. Additionally, it includes video tutorials to explain the
tricky parts, like short rows, ribbing and bands.

And for the textured yoke, there are plenty of progress pictures available in
the pattern. So, if you know basic crochet stitches and are comfortable
keeping consistent gauge (which is critical for correct sizing), then you can
absolutely give Lola Cardigan a go.

I have made two samples for myself. One uses variegated Scheepjes Our Tribe
yarn, which I truly love. It blocks very well and the drape is just
wonderful.

<p></p>
<p>
All colors for this line were created by designers and friends of Scheepjes,
and I am also a proud creator of the colors Lilla Bjorn and Lilla 2. I guess,
I need to design more things with my own color 😊
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
And another sample was done with Scheepjes Metropolis yarn, which is the same
weight as Our Tribe, but different composition and feel. It does not have
fluff and the colors are heathered.
</p>
<p>
I could not decide which one I like more, so now I am a proud owner of
both.

I brought a Souvenir
Blanket idea back home from a trip to the mountain lakes in Austria last summer.
We took a boat ride, and I was inspired by a pattern on the boat’s floor. And
this is how the Souvenir blanket came to life. Find the free pattern below. Hope
you enjpy. And if you would like to have a ready-to-print copy without ads, you

<p>
The <i>Souvenir Blanket</i> consists of octagons, small squares, and a slim
border. All rounds are worked on RS unless otherwise instructed. The yarn is
not cut after every round but is brought up to the next round on WS, so small
floats of yarn will appear on WS. The motifs are joined to each other with an
invisible join using yarn tail left after fastening off and yarn needle. You
can either join motifs right after they are finished, or first make all motifs
and then sew them together.

It is almost Granny Square Day! Each year on August 15th the crochet community
all over the world celebrates this day by creating crochet squares and posting
them on social media. Mostly Instagram. The tradition is young (first
initiated in 2014) but has already gained popularity among crocheters from
different countries in the world.

<br /> And that’s for a good reason.
<p></p>
<p>
Granny Square is the first thing that comes to mind when we think about
crochet. The square is the most universal shape, which we can use in so many
ways. We can create throws and blankets, pillows, bags, chair pads and
trivets, table decorations, and even clothes. And crochet squares should not
necessarily be basic.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
This year, I have decided to join celebrations of a granny square by putting
up an e-book with 6 of my favourite square designs. This e-book includes 6
modern square patterns in overlay crochet. All of them are full of texture and
colors.

Each square uses tiny amounts of yarn in several colors and gives you a great
possibility to use up leftovers of yarn from other projects. You can purchase

Brioche crochet is a new trend. I fell in love with this technique so much
that I want to shout about it on every corner. And make every crocheter try
it. One day. Sooner or later, haha. And of course, the best way to attract
attention is to create more patterns. So, here is a new one. An
<i>Archway Square</i>!
</p>

In this post, I will not talk about the basics of the brioche crochet
technique and about how easy it is. You can read everything about it in
<a href="https://www.lillabjorncrochet.com/2021/06/brioche-crochet-masterclass.html" target="_blank">Brioche Masterclass</a>, which is free on blog.
</p>
<p>
I know that the brioche fabric looks intricate and impossible to tackle by the
advanced beginner, but the truth is, the brioche crochet patterns (at least
mine) are easy to follow. Because every row or round uses just one color and
very basic crochet stitches.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
If you click the link mentioned above, you will learn everything about the
technique basics. You will also see short video tutorials explaining
increases, decreases and how to work in rounds and rows. And here, I would
like to talk about the advantages of the new Archway Square pattern.

<h4 style="text-align: left;">Fun Facts about Archway Square </h4>
<p>
~ To start with brioche crochet, you do not need prior training or special
knowledge in crochet. It is enough to know how to do basic stitches (including
front post), and to be able to keep consistent gauge/tension.
</p>
<p>
~ While consistent tension is important for a nice stitch definition, you do
not need to obtain exact gauge to make this brioche square. You can choose any
yarn at all, though thicker and softer yarns are best to learn the
technique.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
~ Brioche square is worked in rounds, and all are done on the right side. It
is slightly easier than to crochet brioche in rows. So, this pattern is an
absolute winner if you want an effective introduction to brioche
crochet.
</p>

</div>
<p></p>
<p>
~ Usually, you need just two colors to make a brioche crochet square, however
gradient yarns together with a solid shade will always look gorgeous! Please,
keep in mind that for the best result, high contrast colors will look the
best.
</p>
<p>
~ The yarn is not cut after every round, but it is brought up to the next
rounds on the wrong side. What does it mean? Right! Almost no ends to
weave!
</p>
<p>
~ You can reverse the colors for the same square, and they will look
different.

<p>
~ Depending on which weight of yarn you choose, you can use this square in
different ways. As a front cover of a pillowcase, for example. Simply stitch
it onto a ready fabric pillowcase in the same size, and you are done! Here is
my brand-new pillow made with <i>Scheepjes Chunky Monkey</i> yarn and 4.5mm
hook.

<br />
</p>
<p>
With a smaller yarn weight, you can create blocks for a blanket or a bag.
Because brioche crochet fabric is often thick and stiff, I suggest that you
make a sample square with the yarn of your choice to see if you like the look
of the stitches and the drape.
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
~ And the last fun fact (and also my favourite) is that you can make your
square in any size by stopping after any round. So, you can make large
squares, and small squares. And when you join them together with an invisible
join (explained in the pattern), the fabric will look unique. With a different
stitch pattern, depending on which round you stopped at.
</p>
<p>
And if my words do not convenience you, have a look at these four
samples.
</p>
<p>

How cool is it? More than that! You can make small and large squares and join
them together. And I can only imagine how many different illusions stitch
patterns you can create by that.

Do you make resolutions for every new year? I’m truly convinced that once my
thoughts and intentions are written down, I will never happen to follow them.
So, I never set any plans for a year, and never note them down. Though, of
course, the end of the year, with long winter evenings and lack of daylight,
creates this special mental space for rethinking and reevaluating what has
been done. And where to move.

I would not call it a resolution, but this year I decided to slow down. And I
mean it in many ways.
</p>
<p>
It feels like my current inner space is very much in the mood with the concept
of slow living. Not that I am trying to introduce it into my life (and
probably it is not possible now), but I feel like I need more time to spend
with myself, my inner circle of people, and with nature.

We have recently moved to the house in the suburb of the city, and I enjoy
planning the garden, watching the birds from my window, and taking care of the
plants. You can say, it’s just ageing, but I would say it is a slow
transformation of how you accept yourself and the world around you.

You might know that I am a huge admire of Scandinavia and slow living is
exactly what I feel when I come and visit my friends in Sweden. In Sweden,
they have their own concept of Lagom, but the basic principles are just the
same: breathe deeply, find a balance in your life, don’t ask for more and be
happy with what you have. Stop running and spinning. Look around and enjoy the
moment.

Ok, maybe this is really the ageing, when in 40+ you start rethinking
priorities in your life. But why not?

<p>
The concept of slow living includes several philosophies, and one of them is
simplicity.
</p>
<p>
It can start with decluttering of the house, reducing the amount of “digital
noise”, and surprisingly, it can also be translated into the simplicity of
crochet.

Well, in fact, crochet itself can be counted as an element of the slow living.
I do not know what about you, but for me, the best time of the day is when I
can stay alone and crochet for hours. Ideally somewhere in the wild, on the
seashore or a lonely balcony with no other people around.

The cardigan is designed to fit with approx. 5cm/2in of positive ease at the
bust. It is worked seamlessly from top down. First yoke is worked in rows to
separation for body and sleeves. Then the lower body is worked in rows to the
bottom. Sleeves are designed as ½ length, and they are worked top down. The
length of the body and sleeves is easily adjustable.

The cardigan has a comfortable raglan shape for the sleeves, a beloved V-neck
and generous yoke depth. For a deep breath!

<p>
Made with Scheepjes Organicon yarn (100% soft organic cotton), it has a
perfect textured stitch definition and is very pleasant against the skin. What
to wish more for the cool summer evenings.

Following the series of satisfying crochet, I would like to introduce a new
delicate pattern. Please, welcome a <i>Morning Mist Wrap</i>! The pattern is
easy to follow, and instructions for both the wrap’s body and the border are
quick to memorize. You can adjust the width and length as you need. And create
a blanket instead, for example.

p.s. When the picture of the Morning Mist Wrap was revealed on social media,
one of the followers on Facebook mentioned that it looked familiar to the

>Shadowplay Shawl</a

the wraps have major texture and constructive differences. If you prefer a
border as-you-go, please definitely check the Sascha's pattern! <br />

My work has been under major influence of the Scandinavian design, with simple
shapes and mute colors. And if you follow me for a while, you have probably
noticed that recently I have created more monochrome patterns with delicate
texture. And today’s new release is not an exception. I am happy to introduce
an Embossed Daisy Collection.

<br />This collection consists of two patterns with similar floral design: a
mandala and a square. Both patterns are worked in an embossed crochet technique,
which is both simple and effective. <br />

In embossed crochet, only usual crochet stitches are used to create highly
textured fabric. And what is even more wonderful, the back side often (if not
always) looks as good as the front.

My samples were made with aran weight yarn and used as a cushion. However,
these patterns give many more possibilities. The Mandala will create a
wonderful textured placemat or trivet. And the square, made with finer yarn
and smaller hook, will become a nice block for a blanket. Both projects will
look the best with solid single color.

Being in crochet for almost my entire life (at least 35 years now), I have
tried many different techniques. Tunisian crochet is still on my wish list to
master, but otherwise I am not aware of any crochet method I have not tried
already. In fact, it is always a combination of general stitches. Like the
same notes are used to create different styles of music, and the same letters
are used to write the books.

Various techniques are one direction I have been thinking about crochet. But
then, we have different types of crochet, I believe. Based on the level of
difficulty. And then I would categorize crochet projects as intricate,
mindless… and satisfying.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
I just love this word “satisfying” as it gives a feeling of what crochet is
when the pattern is very easy to follow, and you get aesthetic pleasure with
every new row or round.

If you have tried any of the Lilla Bjorn’s patterns, you might know that they
are mostly intricate. I love to create unique designs but also aim for
easy-to-follow instructions with progress pictures, and sometimes video
tutorials. My designs are usually multicolored, too.

Recently, I have been thinking that it would be wonderful to create more
relaxing designs. Maybe not completely mindless (we have many mindless crochet
projects to choose from), but easy-to-follow and truly satisfying.

With every new pattern release, I am reflecting on how it was accepted, and
which trends are dominating in the crochet world right now (and no surprise,
that they are changing all the time, like what is happening in the fashion or
interior design).

I also follow the trends in the knitting world and try to introduce them to my
crochet work as well. With my new Embossed Daisy Collection, I have tried to
bring the trends and easiness together, for a quick and satisfying
result.

<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>How to read Mosaic Panel Chart </b></h4>
<p>
The chart is read bottom to top. Each row represents 1 row on one side of
Shawl. Yellow squares indicate cnr ch2-sps. Follow chart until cnr. Work (1sc,
ch2, 1sc) in ch-2 sp (those sc are marked with I), then cont in opposite
direction to mirror same mosaic st patt for second side.
</p>
<p>
Each square shows 1 st or 1 sk st. The first square of each row shows color
used for that row. 2sc marked with \ / at beg and end of each row indicate
increases: 2sc worked in first/last st of prev row.
</p>
<p>
When squares of different color appear in row, they should be sk and instead
you work same number of chs as number of sk sts. For 1 sk st, ch1; for 2 sk
sts, ch2, etc. On RS rows, with contrasting color, work mdc in these sk sts
from 3 rows below in front of chs of prev rounds. Mdc are marked with X. On WS
only sc and chs are made. Sc are made in sts of prev row, and chs are made in
the same place on both rows.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b>This pattern uses so-called “inset crochet mosaic method”, which means
the colors are changed on every second row without cutting the yarn (it is
brought up along the edge and small floats of yarn appear). So, almost no ends
to weave in!
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On next rows you will make single crochet stitches and chains, you will skip
the stitches and also work “mosaic double crochet” stitches into those skipped
sts from 3 rows below. I would highly recommend you to study the chart and try
following it without the written instructions. Once you understand how it read
it, the mosaic will go smoothly. If you have any questions, please ask them
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/195091287904259" target="_blank"
>in our Facebook group</a
>, where the make-a-long is officially hosted.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">How to read Mosaic Panel Chart </h3>
<p>
The chart is read bottom to top. Each row represents 1 row on one side of
Shawl.
</p>
<p>
Yellow squares indicate cnr ch2-sps. Follow chart until cnr. Work (1sc, ch2,
1sc) in ch-2 sp (those sc are marked with I), then cont in opposite direction
to mirror same mosaic st patt for second side.
</p>
<p>
Each square shows 1 st or 1 sk st. The first square of each row shows color
used for that row. 2sc marked with \ / at beg and end of each row indicate
increases: 2sc worked in first/last st of prev row.
</p>
<p>
When squares of different color appear in row, they should be sk and instead
you work same number of chs as number of sk sts. For 1 sk st, ch1; for 2 sk
sts, ch2, etc.
</p>
<p>
On RS rows, with contrasting color, work mdc in these sk sts from 3 rows below
in front of chs of prev rounds. Mdc are marked with X. On WS only sc and chs
are made. Sc are made in sts of prev row, and chs are made in same place on
both rows.

>Everblue Shawl make-a-lon</a
>g</i
>! Today we will begin with the mesh body. If you are using Scheepjes Whirl and
Whirlette yarns, you can start either with Whirl or Whirlette, depending on
which effect you would like to achieve. And then you have an option whether to
start with the inside or outside tail of the Whirl. The first rows of the shawl
are short, so the first color you choose will cover the bigger space of the top
of the shawl and will influence its final look. The pattern comes with written
instructions and the chart, and I highly recommend you to try and follow the
chart, as it will be much easier to keep up with the instructions and the stitch
counts. Please, note, that the pattern below uses US crochet terms. Hope you
enjoy!

<p><b>Pattern Notes </b></p>
<p>
Shawl is worked bottom up in rows. First, the Shawl Body is worked, then a
two-colored Mosaic Panel is added at the bottom. Patt uses 2-row mosaic
technique. Cc every 2 rows; to cc, work last st of row in old color to final 2
lps on hook, yoh with new color and draw new color through lps on hook. Do not
fasten off old color but carry it up, creating floats along one edge; make
sure floats do not pull.

The shawl season has started! At least in our part of the world. The days are
getting warmer but still not warm enough to hide winter clothes. And honestly
– you can wear a nice shawl anytime of the year! Today, I am happy to announce
that a new make-a-long will start next week here on my blog. We will be making

<br />Some of you have probably recognized this design. It was released
exclusively as a part of a Limited Edition mystery kit by Scheepjes back in
2021. You even might be a lucky owner of the kit with a limited color of
Scheepjes Whirl. Those kits were a huge success! But if you were not lucky
enough to put your hands on one of those, you can now make the shawl with a
stand-alone pattern, and any colors of your choice.

The idea of the mystery Scheepjes kit was to create a project to occupy busy
crafter’s hands at a Crimbo Limbo time between Christmas day and New Year’s
Day. I happily accepted this commission, as it ideally fell in line with my
own aesthetics and design taste.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
The main color (which is not available any more, but you have lots of other
gradient shades of Whirl yarn to choose from) was a rich and soft green ombre,
which we combined with a dark chocolate color to create an image of an
evergreen tree with the pine cones. I was aiming to bring the similar cone
pattern to the shawl’s body as well, and created an infinity lace fabric with
mesh triangles.

<p>
And the good news is that this pattern design is easily adjustable into a
square if you wish to create a blanket instead of a shawl.
</p>
<p>
After a very popular Scheepjes make-a-long with this shawl, I decided to bring
the memories back and release it as a stand-along pattern. It will be a free
one released as a make-a-long starting next Wednesday, March 29th, 2023. And
then every Wednesday, a new portion of the instructions will be added here to
my blog.

The official support for this make-a-long will be handled in my

not a member yet, make sure to join the fun and do not forget to answer a
simple question upon a sign-up. Without this answer, your request will be
denied.
</p>
<p>
If you want to get ready ahead of time, you will need fingering yarn and 2.5mm
and 3mm crochet hooks. Scheepjes Whirl yarn is the best option for this
pattern. Choose one Whirl cake and then two Whirlettes cakes. The best result
will be if you choose a Whirlette which ideally matches one of the Whirl’s
tails (either inside or outside), and then another contrast Whirlette for the
mosaic patterning.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
If you are curious about this exact sample (kindly made for me by wonderful
Loele van der Bergh), the colors are: Whirl 755 Blueberry Bambam (one cake),
Whirlette 860 Ice (one cake) and Whirlette 868 Bilberry (one cake).

It’s been over two years since the
<a

>Alma Sweater </a
>release, one of the most popular sweaters I have designed. At that time, I
was taking small steps in the developing of the brioche crochet technique. I
was investigating ways of simplifying instructions, finding the balance
between the texture and the drape.

Those who made Alma sweaters in the past can see some reflections in this new
design. However, this time I stepped away from the floral curvy lines and
decided to make it more graphical and geometrical.

The deep textured yoke grows into the lower body made with an alpine crochet
stitch for even more texture throughout the entire design. And slim knit-look
ribbing on the sleeves and the bottom of the sweater adds a stylish
detail.

If you ask me if I like how <i>Weave it! Sweater</i> turned out; I will say: I
love it!

<p>
Like all my garments, it is worked from top down and comes in nine different
sizes. In my opinion, the textured lower body matches the brioche yoke in the
best way, but you can of course choose a different stitch pattern for the body
and sleeves.

I chose <i>Scheepjes Metropolis</i> yarn, which is fingering weight and very
soft. However, you can also opt for a short-sleeved version and choose soft
cotton blend yarn for your sweater. Look at another sample made with
<i>Scheepjes Cotton 8</i> yarn.

<br /><i>Weave it! Sweater </i>is designed to fit with 5–12cm/2–5in of
positive ease at the bust. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. First
the yoke is worked in rounds to sleeve separation, then the lower body is
worked in rounds to the bottom, followed by the sleeves worked top down. The
length of both the body and the sleeves is easily adjustable.

The first design of the year 2023 is here! And it is a blanket. We are in the
middle of the winter here, in the Czech Republic. The days are short, and even
in the daylight it feels greyish outside. Luckily, we, crafters, have lots of
other means to brighten our days. With yarn in different colors, for example!
“If the snow does not want to come to us this year, I will paint it myself” –
I told myself.

This winter has been weird in many ways. Much warmer than average, with so
little snow even in the mountains. And even if we are lucky to see some
snowfall, it melts out during the night or the same morning. And it’s
frightening.

A few days ago, I shared my thoughts about climate change on my FB page, and I
was surprised to hear people in different corners of the world are
experiencing the same thing. The weather forecasts surprise with the news that
temperatures go down in the warmer regions, while the countries, which are
normally used to the cold, have mild winter this year.
</p>
<p>
On the one hand, today with the rising pieces of energy, it should be a relief
not to heat the houses at the most. And we all know that this year higher
temperatures and no freeze is a blessing to some countries. But when I am
thinking about this issue on a global scale, knowing it might get even worse
with each new year, it makes me sad.

It’s not really about lack of snow or no possibilities to go skiing. It’s
about understanding that mother nature needs our help. Paint the Snow Blanket
has become a remind to myself that I should not take everything for granted,
and that everyone is able to make small steps to the better climate
sustainability.

<div class="content_hint"></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Small facts about the Paint the Snow Blanket
</h4>
<p>
I chose bright shades of Scheepjes Whirl yarn for my sample (2 cakes in the
same color – so, 4 cakes in total). Whirls are always the best choice when you
want a project with many colors, but do not want to bother picking them
yourself. One Whirl cake carries several gorgeous shades with soft
transitions. And you can also opt for an ombre look.

However, consisting of hexagon motifs, the blanket allows using us leftovers
in different colors from your stash. Freeing your creativity at the same
time.

My finished blanket measures approx. 125 x 150cm/ 49¼ x 59in after blocking,
but of course you can easily adjust it in size adding or reducing the number
of the motifs.

Paint the Snow Blanket uses tapestry crochet technique, and a cute snowflake
pattern can bring your memories back to Rozeta CAL. Which also brings up the
thought that Scheepjes Our Tribe could also be a great choice for this project
for those who prefer warmer woolly blankets.

The<i> swoncho</i> (a mixed shape between the sweater and poncho) has been on
my designing list for a couple of years now. And today I am excited to say
that I have finally brought this idea to life. Let me introduce – a Polar
Swoncho. A comfy and snaggy garment for everyday wear. The pattern is free on
my blog below, but if you prefer an ads-free version in one printable pdf
file, you can find it

<p>
The Polar Swoncho (sweater&poncho) is designed in two sizes. It is worked
seamlessly top down. First, the ribbing with slip stitches in back loops only
is worked vertically, then some short rows are done to raise the back neck.
Then the deep and wide mosaic yoke is worked down to separation for body and
sleeves. The sleeves are ribbed, and you can make them longer for a cuffed
version. Then the lower body is worked in rounds to the desired length and is
finished with ribbing.

crochet technique. We are hosting the MAL together with
<i>Martin Up North</i>, and he has already revealed two of his designs: a
<i>Rödön Pillow</i> and <i>See Me in A Crown Hat</i>. Next Friday, Martin will
release his final pattern, and that will be the official end of the
make-a-long.

<br />If you missed the beginning, it is still not late to join. I would say, it
is even the perfect timing now, as you can see almost all patterns in advance,
and there is still left the space for one mystery design from Martin.

Today’s design is small and cute. Hopefully, working on it will not take long,
and you will be able to catch up with the previous projects. The Mandala
Coaster is worked in overlay crochet, in its classical way.

There are two copies of the pattern, one of which contains lots of progress
pictures to accompany instructions for every round. And I have recorded a
video tutorial as well (find the link in the pattern). I chose a mandala
because they are always fun and satisfying to make, and they give peace of
mind. A nice opportunity to take a short break from every day’s race.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
Also, they have a round shape (a circle), which I thought is a wonderful
addition to our “geometry” collection, which already includes rectangles,
squares, and triangles. And of course, overlay crochet is always about the
texture, which is the theme of our make-a-long.

You will need leftovers in three colors (I recommend using solid shades). For
my mandalas, I used
<a

>Scheepjes Catona</a
>
yarn and a 3mm hook. Mini skeins of 10g will be enough.
</p>
<p>
You can also choose more colors, and mix-and-match them as you like.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
What is great about this pattern is that you can stop at any round, and the
mandala will look finished and balanced. That’s why you can use it in so many
ways. As a coaster or wall hanging.

You can make several motifs in different sizes and join them into a bunting.
Or you can crochet two mandalas of the same together through the last round
and stuff it to create a semi-bauble for your Christmas tree.
</p>
<p>These mandalas will make cute gift tags, too! </p>

<p>
Today’s design is the <i>Gaudi Pillow</i>, named after and inspired by the
work of the famous Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi.
</p>
<p>
The first time I heard about him was at the art course we had at high school.
I was fascinated by Gaudi’s talent and architecture. Many years later, in
Vienna, I bought an album with pictures of his buildings. And kept hoping I
could see the mind-blowing <i>Sagrada Família</i> one day.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
My dream came true last September. My friend suggested we could go to
Barcelona for a few days, and I felt like the excitement was going to explode
in my heart. I refreshed all my memories about Gaudi’s artistic work, I bought
all possible entrance tickets online and two weeks in advance. And I simply
could not wait!
</p>
<p>
And the wait for almost all my adult life was worth it. I fell in love
again.
</p>
<p>
Antonio Gaudi was searching for inspiration in the shapes and forms of nature.
And my pillow was inspired by the curvy lines of his famous fairy towers on
the roof of <i>La Pedrera-Casa Milà</i>.

Gaudi pillow uses embossed crochet technique with front and back post
stitches. The pattern is straightforward, however some places might be tricky.
But do not worry. I have recorded a full video tutorial for this pattern (you
will find the link inside pillow’s instructions).

I have made one square in approx. 50cm/21in and stitched it by hand onto the
ready fabric pillowcase in the same size. The pattern is fully adaptable, and
you can use the same stitch pattern for the project in any width and length.
Saying that, I mean it will also make a great textured blanket.

For one square I used around 2.5 balls of Scheepjes Scrumptious yarn, so for
two sides (if you wish to make your pillow double-sided), you will need 5
balls of this yarn. Of course, you choose a different DK yarn, your yardages
will be different.

This year’s make-a-long was inspired by geometry shapes and texture of nature
and architecture. I cannot tell what Martin is up to (you remember it’s a
mystery, right?), as we will reveal all six patterns weekly one by one. But I
can tell you the story behind the first project.

<p>
<i>Early Waves Cowl</i> was inspired by the sea, the greatest love of mine. I
believe everyone has a special place in their life, where they feel the power,
where they come to relax, recharge and to find the way back to themselves. For
me, such a place is a wooden beach in the Västra Hamnen quarter of Malmö, in
Sweden.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p>
Not everything can be explained in words, but here I can stop and breathe.
Here I can be myself. And no wonder, I come here every year (or even twice a
year, if I am lucky), and always travel on my own.

By the way, the pictures for <i>A Sea Story book</i> were also taken here, at
the beachside of Malmö. We will have a few dozen copies back in stock in a
couple of weeks, but you can also download a digital version of the book from

<p>But let’s come back to the Early Waves Cowl. </p>
<p>
Imagine an early, foggy morning by the sea. No wind, pale yellow sun. Tiny
gentle waves. This is what the Early Waves Cowl is about.

I used Scheepjes Terrazzo yarn in two colors (2 and 3 balls), and the pattern
consists of two panels. One is done in one color with brioche waves, and
another panel is ribbed with tow-coloured stripes.

As well as all other patterns from a Geometry & Mystery MAL, this cowl can
be adjusted in width and length. You can make it wider, or shorter. And you
can also use the stitch patterns for other projects, too. Think blankets,
pillows, bags… anything!

And if you want a complete collection with all 6 patterns, you will also need
to grab a MAL listing from <i>Martin Up North</i>

It has become a good tradition to host a mystery make-a-long (MAL) annually,
and this year is not an exception. We’ve already had<a

last year. But this year’s project is a special one! We have teamed up with
<i>Martin Up North</i> to bring you six brand-new and exclusive patterns.
Please, welcome a

<h4 style="text-align: left;">What is this MAL about </h4>
<p>
As you can already understand from the name, all projects are themed with
geometry and texture, and you will get a chance to try your hand in mosaic,
overlay, embossed and slip stitch crochet techniques. The patterns will
include wearable accessories and home decorations, but you can easily adjust
stitch patterns for a variety of other projects.
</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Who are the designers</h4>
<p>
Geometry & Texture MAL will be hosted by me (Lilla Bjorn Crochet) and
Martin Up North. If you are not familiar with his work, make sure to check out
<a href="https://martinupnorth.com/" target="_blank">his website HERE</a>.
Martin lives up north in Sweden, and he is a huge nature lover. His pictures
of the Northern Lights and wild animals are breathtaking, as well as his
crochet designs.
</p>
<p>
We have a little different crochet styles, but similar aesthetics and vision.
And we are both very excited about this make-a-long. A lot of work has been
secretly done behind the scenes, and we can't wait to share our patterns with
you.

<h4 style="text-align: left;">Where to find the patterns </h4>
<p>
<i>Geometry & Texture MAL</i> has not started yet, and a pre-order is
running right now. To get access to all 6 patterns, you will need to purchase
MAL listings on Ravelry from both designers separately (links below). Martin
and I have created 3 patterns each. And you can either purchase both listings
with 6 patterns in total, or choose just one designer, receiving 3 mystery
patterns.
</p>
<p>
<a

>Lilla Bjorn's patterns are HERE </a
><br />

<p>
<a

>Martin’s Up North patterns are HERE </a

</p>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<p><b>What you will need</b></p>
<p>
Martin and I used specific Scheepjes yarns for our projects, but you can
absolutely use up your stash. You can either pick the yarns in similar weigh,
or experiment and use heavier or lighter yarns. There are no strict rules and
yarns quantities. Of course, if you decide to make exactly the same projects
as we did, you will receive a complete list of colors and yardages. But as
already mentioned above, the stitch patterns from each project can be also
used for something else.
</p>
<p>
EDIT: because of many requests about yarn information, I decided to reveal
yarn amounts used for my mystery projects.

be offered at a reduced price during the time of the MAL through December

will be updated to a full price after the end of the MAL.
