Make when you can — wear with pride — and just occasionally try to wear a colour you would never normally wear. You might be surprised. I just love how the yarn community, knitters and crocheters alike are so generous. So many of you will make and create to support local and international charities. Your generosity is inspiring! I have donated one of my crochet toy patterns to the collection of free patterns. Now Portland has returned home, I am happy to share this pattern with you so that you can make him for all your charity projects.

I recently posted the picture above on my Instagram account. This image gained more like and love than any image I have posted before. How crazy is that? It made me wonder why. In essence I think the picture speaks of comfort, of colour and home. In a challenging world, these are all feelings and emotions that we crave. When I am thinking of new projects, especially in the Autumn and Winter months my mind turns to new blanket designs.

But then again…who can resist making just one more? When you crochet a lot, collecting blankets become an accidental hobby.

How To Make Amigurumi Paws

As I design blankets, the samples return and become encompassed into our life. In recent years the complex blanket patterns have become more and more popular. The addictive nature of building the techniques. But I know so many crocheters who have built an impressive collection of beautiful blankets.

Every stitch has some invested love. Some I think are too valuable to give away.

Looking through my collection I can see how my technique has improved — one of my first crochet attempts was the utterly classic Sunshine Day Afghan by Alicia Paulson. Basically it is slowly unraveling. Since then I have been fastidious with my finishing. I weave my ends in three ways. Weaving my tapestry needle one way, back in the same direction and then I make a final pass back through in the opposite direction. Too much time is spent with the yarn and the hook to find those hours undone by my own sloppiness. I have to admit, not all my designs succeed. Seriously — there are some failures out there.

This lovely lovely blanket was designed for Black Sheep Wools. That was fine for my tension.

But when other people tried to make up the blanket their tension for both crafts differed. We could never make it work. It breaks my heart but I think my version will remain a sample that never made it to the published pattern stage. Blankets are a bit of a time commitment. This mitered square knitted blanket is definitely a work in progress. It sits on the back-burner and I return to it when I have some idle time and no pressing commissions. Some blankets I have let go, it is not easy. You really need to love the person you are making a blanket for to invest that time. It seems that only people who knit or crochet get this.

I imagine if you made a quilt, this would be true also. The blanket below comes from Granny Squares Home. Compared to last year when I made about 6 blankets for my books, I seem quite lazy. There are many hours of hooky time invested in these beauties. All of which I enjoy to snuggly under. The nights are drawing in and we all need to make Autumn plans.

Most of my ongoing projects are toy based at the moment. It might be October before I venture again into blanket territtory. But I would urge you before the temperature drops, find your favourite pattern, grab some of your yarn stash and getting making. As your creation grows so your lap stays warm. The perfect project for cosy evenings. I have been thinking about making toys recently. As you know, often I can be beavering away in the background, making something secret I cannot share. You will imagine that it will include toys — toys for babies, toys for toddlers, toys for play, toys to amuse and in some cases toys that adults love.

Well I know that there are really three important factor that make a great toy. Firstly, it needs to be hard-wearing.

A really successful toy is not just admired — it is loved. That means lots of imaginative play, lots of trips to unknown places. Lots of adventures in the garden, lots of holidays and even being flung out of bed in the middle of the night. Toy making began in earnest for me when I learnt to crochet. Working in the round; amigurumi, meant there were fewer seams. That meant there was less chance of having arms, legs ears pulled off in enthusiastic games or just from general wear and tear.

Do you know that this little monster was the very first crochet toy I ever made for my boy. At the time it sat neatly in his hand. Now he has enormous hands and this little chap seems very very small. In Cute Crochet Animals I suggest that you attach the arms by incorporating the last stitches of each arm into the rounds of the body. This is my very favourite technique and I use it whenever I can.

Some my very favourite designs or makes have been inspired by small conversations. Chatting away to children or friends you get to know what they really love. I tell you nothing, absolutely nothing is more wonderful than a home made treasure which someone has made specifically for you. It is not only the time and effort it takes to make that object, but the added value of listening to you, hearing and noting your passions and then turning that conversation into an idea. I have designed many penguins over the years — for one simple reason — my son loves penguins.

His love of these comical birds has changed our family. Who knew there were so many species? I have watched more films, cartoons and documentaries about penguins than I dreamed possible. They have infiltrated my design work — and I am so glad they have. The last bit of making a toy is the very most vital part. Placing the features — I have three pieces of advice for you. Homemade toys — are meant to look like just that — homemade.

They are not made by robots — they are not made in their hundreds. They are unique and therefore should look different and bespoke. Secondly if you pour love into the process then your toy will reflect that love and care. The care, the time, the joy comes seeps out through every stitch. Finally do take your time. I might place the eyes in several different places before I finally settle on their lasting position and fasten them.

Even though I have made hundred of toys I will rip out noses, mouths and ears and start again. If in doubt — rip it out. But do finish it. It occurred to me recently — when my boy is all grown up — will I stop making toys? It is such a strange way that designs seem to time travel. You design, make and create in one season and then they are shipped off to their final destination.

In another season they reappear and you have almost forgotten when and where you made it. Well whilst we were away in the last few weeks my new design for Stylecraft Yarns has been launched. I created a new blanket and cushion design for their Autumn season using some bright shades of Life DK and a lovely gray tonal yarn — Life Changes. I was actually making this blanket in the depths of our chilly February holiday. We were all poorly — but sat for hours watching the Winter Olympics.

Nothing could be more cosy than making a blanket when you need some comfort. In the middle of our heatwave here in Britain it might seem a bit odd to be thinking about your autumn projects — but get ready because before you know it you will want to be under a lovely homemade creation. I hope you like the look of the design. The blanket would be perfect for a beginner. I try really hard to create designs that I would like to have in my own home and match in with contemporary interior trends.

All the brights are a lovely little highlight and then the tonal grays of the Life Changes yarn provide a modern look. The pattern will be available for the normal Stylecraft stockists in the Autumn and the design code is I have been very busy looking after my precious family.

I got a new free amigurumi crochet pattern for you again, Woohoo! I am so excited to share this free design! These are the sweetest bear and kitten that I have designed in a long time.
