A beginner friendly, easy crochet pattern for those wanting to dip their toes into the art of pillow making :) These squares are just slip stitched together and the result is a perfectly squishy pillow you can feel good about. Not only are the colour options endless-the sunburst squares always fill me with joy. Work them up solid coloured for an easy, carefree crochet experience OR change up the colours each round and create a multicolored masterpiece…

We all have them…they add up pretty fast….and yet, what to do with them all? You know what I’m talking about—scraps. Scraps and those random skeins you just “had to have” but had no real purpose for. Well, I’ve just the thing!! The Solid Scrappy Granny Pillow is just as fun to make, as it is to look at. The combinations are endless- use up all those tiny scraps OR plan a gorgeous pillow with skeins from your stash. Mix them up randomly, or plan a “plaid like” looking pillow. Tonal, variegated, self striping-you name it! It all works with this pillow and I absolutely cannot wait to see all your creativity on this one.

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….
