Hygge (pronouced “Hue-guh”) is a Scandinavian word meaning everything that is cozy, happy, special, warm and nice. It’s used as a noun, a verb and an adjective! I fell in love with the idea of hygge after reading The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking.

The original Hygge Burst Blanket Pattern encompasses all the warmth, coziness and happiness that you can get from a blanket. I wanted the same feeling with this pattern—but brighter and fun for summer (hellloooooo neon tweed!!) Rest assured, this won’t be the last colour combo I put together for this blanket. It was a blast to make and I absolutely cannot wait to put together a colour scheme using Wool of the Andes Tweed for autumn :)

For now thought, I hope you’re all loving the light-hearted colour combos of these Hexagons. Happy crocheting everyone :)

We’re coming up on summer and this project is worthy of sandy coastlines and sun dried driftwood. I gravitated towards these colours because I’m craving all the beach vibes right now—living in the midst of some of the biggest lakes in the world means I’m surrounded by water (literally!) and it’s apart of my soul. For those who know me or who’ve been following from the beginning…you know that I’m a lover of the water and sailing. This blanket (and the next few patterns to follow) will be indicative of just that. Earthy, beachy, sun-kissed with just a hint of sparkling water.

I truly hope you enjoy this relaxing make. With a smaller selection of colours, no colour changes and motifs that are packable—this project promises to be the bring-a-long staple. Join them all up later with a continuous join as you go for hexagons and you’ve got yourself the perfect project to ring in the summer with. Happy Crocheting :)

Last year I signed up for a year’s worth of yarn. It was a “yarn subscription” consisting of 12 months of surprise skeins in the mail. Each month I crocheted the skeins into a Granny Stripe Blanket (which I adore) and this year I’m doing it again…

It’s bright, it’s colourful, it’s made with dreamy yarn…

The Winters are grey here in Canada-but not from where I’m sitting! A blanket so cheerful it’s bound to remind you of tropical getaways and warmer, sunnier days ahead….
