KOMA KULSHAN JUMBO BLANKET PATTERN

This fluffy throw blanket is made from beautiful jumbo yarn and a size U crochet hook, making it a fast and easy make!

Ever since I started crocheting, and especially since I started designing, I have dreamed of working with huge yarn like the Couture Jazz jumbo yarn I used in this pattern. And let me tell you, I was not let down! I grabbed my biggest hook yet – a lovely wooden jumbo hook, sized U (25mm) – and got down to business. As you might guess, working with big yarn like this is fast! You will love how quickly your project progresses and seeing all the standard crochet stitches enlarged. There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to mastering the technique of crocheting with jumbo yarn, but it is worth it! Plus, next time someone comes by and asks you where you got that gorgeous throw, you can tell them you made it.

RIPPLE RAINFOREST SCARF PATTERN

Create a gorgeous wool scarf with two fantastic crochet stitches you will want to use on all of your winter projects!

This was such a fun pattern! I learned two new stitches for this scarf and was very excited about how well they complement each other. The scarf gets its airy feel and ripple look from the wave stitch – a fun and easy to learn technique that looks gorgeous with variegated yarn, like I chose, or when alternating yarn colors with striping. The scarf is warm and cozy, but not heavy or uncomfortable and looks great dressed up or down!
