Mine is a 5mm, always has been! Literally all you need to get going. These are some free patterns that you might like to try to get to grips with crochet, each of them come with a step by step tutorial to get you going. I am so excited to have been able to put the collection together and am so excited to see what you make!
The Lapsang Blanket uses a really simple crochet cable stitch that is so easy to learn and creates the most beautiful drape. You can download the free PDF and buy the yarn pack here too. The Larksfoot Blanket is perfect for anyone that fancies a go at something a bit different to a traditional Granny type blanket.
This one is for anyone that would love a soft and delicate look but with a super simple pattern. This is another twist on the traditional Granny blanket but instead of going round and round you work in rows which makes it much easier to keep track of where you are!
This one is a bit more complicated than the rest but is absolutely doable for any beginner! I promise! The Oolong Blanket uses the really cute Cabbage Patch stitch to give a really textured look that looks far trickier than it is! Whatever you choose to make just remember to be patient, persevere and above all enjoy it! My first attempts were by no means relaxing but I guarantee when you find your rhythm you will love every minute of it. Looking forward to hearing from you and sending you your free gift!

Hello I love your patterns. When designing your own crochet blanket, you have a bunch of stitch options to choose from. But we happen to think the ones below are great crochet stitches and will make a particularly great blanket or afghan. All you have to do is figure out what size you want it to be we suggest making a gauge swatch first , decide the length of your starting chain, then get started!
Stitching up your new favorite blanket really can be as simple as working half-double crochet stitches on repeat.
Double crochet works well too, but be wary of single crochet — your blanket may feel a bit stiff and heavy with that one. Try stripes or color blocks to give this basic stitch a little something extra. Keep it one color for a more subtle, textured look, or get striping for something a little more colorful.
This classic stitch pattern which is actually a variation on the shell stitch! This kind of chain stitch adds a lacy feel, and the resulting texture is totally touchable. Also known as C2C, this is another one of those stitches that looks great in a solid color, but can also be super versatile.
Ripple stitches create bold, graphic chevron patterns that look great on a blanket. And if you want a reversible blanket, steer clear of stitch patterns that have a very clear wrong side.

My lighting was weird, so the color looks off, but it at least gives you the idea of how the blanket looks as a whole.
This amazingly simple pattern creates a dense fabric which is perfect for a cozy, cuddly blanket. The pattern is worked using simple single crochet and double crochet stitches. It is very repetitive, so once you get into the groove with row 2, the rest of the project is a breeze! You can also find a video tutorial on my blog for the blanket stitch used in this pattern if you need more help HERE. In addition, you may enjoy getting creative with this pattern.

What would you do with the blanket stitch? Oh, and feel free to follow along as I release several patterns as part of my fall collection over the next several weeks!
I too had a similar experience when buying Wool Ease at Michaels in Canada. I went back and bought 70 skeins! Interesting that we experienced the same thing with the yarn!
What a steal that you got — wow!! You can make a lot of blankets with that. I am a novice crocheter and would love to give this lovely blanket a go. Hope this helps! Hi Jess, am I losing my mind or did you used to have a Ravelry button on your posts so we could save there?
Thank you and please keep up the good work! I should try to figure out how to do that! Even for me sometimes! This looks lovely…. I will be trying it soon — will let you know how it goes. Thanks Jessica.
