The Mariquita Ladybird Blanket - Crochet Pattern

This pattern was inspired by my daughters, who have always been fascinated by ladybirds. They love watching them crawl around in the garden, and so I created this ladybird blanket just for them. The pattern features a series of solid granny squares that come together to create an adorable ladybird motif. And the best part is that it's beginner-friendly, with written instructions and graphical illustrations that make it easy to follow.

Video Blog - Episode 8

Thank you for coming to check out episode 8 of our video blog 😀. Between various family illnesses, a small baby (and that that entails) and working on some new patterns it has been a very busy month. I have been thoroughly enjoying lots of baby snuggles, and mentally planning new patterns whilst doing midnight feeds lol.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had quite as much crochet time as I would like - I have yet to master crocheting with a baby resting on my chest! However, this has encouraged me to concentrate on finishing WIPs and the crochet projects that are most important at this moment in time. Fortunately, I finished my So Eggstra blanket before the baby arrived which allowed the launch to go a little more smoothly - although technical issues with our camera corrupted the cover photo that I had originally selected 😢. Fingers crossed that this will be fixed soon.

The So Eggstra Blanket

Our beautiful Easter egg-themed blanket crochet pattern makes an adorable baby blanket - perfect for gifting at your next baby shower 😊. This baby-sized afghan will keep your gorgeous bundle of joy feeling safe and warm.

This pattern was the last Elimee Designs pattern that I managed to crochet before the wee Miss arrived. I knew that colourwork would be challenging to manage with both a baby resting on me and a sleep-deprived brain lol. I loved crocheting this pattern because it allowed me to combine two of my favourite crochet techniques - filet crochet and colourwork.

The Caitlin Zigzag Blanket

The Caitlin Zigzag Blanket was our first ever crochet pattern when we launched in September 2021. The design was inspired by my best friend. She was pregnant with her now toddling little cutie and I offered to make her a blanket for when she was born. Over a year later I decided to take the leap and create an official pattern from the original blanket.
