Honeycomb Diamonds Blanket



I’m so happy to be able to say my new blanket pattern is now available!!! This design has been such a long time coming. I’d had this idea floating around in my head for months until I finally had enough time to start making it. The idea started off when I was making cushion covers and working out how to join hexagons together to make a square shaped panel. When I played around  with the templates it dawned on me that by spacing the hexagons slightly it would create a diamond pattern in between the hexies. The really fun thing about this design is that you can get creative with it. Use as many or as few colours as you like. I went for a solid mustard colour with cream for the border. My wonderful pattern testers used a variety colours to create a pretty striped effect. The pattern is written to make a blanket measuring 34x40 inches. I’ve also included simple instructions on how to adapt the sizing. Once you understand the pattern you could use it to make so many different projects too. Zahra @tinyanaesthetist on Instagram used the pattern to cover a pillow. It would make a lovely cushion cover by making 2 small panels. So many ideas!
You can find the pattern on LoveCrochet.com Ravelry and in my Etsy shop. I’d love to see your versions too! Please tag me in your photos on Instagram @HelloMoonCrochet and share using the tag #HoneycombDiamondsBlanket
Huge thank you to my fab pattern testers:

Plant pot covers-free crochet pattern

This quick little make is a great use for any leftover bits of t shirt or chunky yarn. I used the Hoooked ribbon and zpagetti yarns to make these cute little gifts for my little boy's pre-school teachers. The pattern would suit any yarn that has a small amount of stretch in it and it's really simple to adapt. I've made these using paintbox yarns chunky acrylic too and it works perfectly! You will need: Just a small amount of yarn and a hook size to match (with the t shirt or ribbon yarn I use 9mm or chunky acrylic with a 6mm) a small plant pot. Mine measure approx. 2 inch diameter at the base, 2.5 inch diameter at the top and height = 2.5 inches scissors and darning needle to weave in ends Follow the basic pattern below increasing the number rows to adjust height or diameter abbreviations: mc = magic circle st= stitch hdc= us half double/uk half treble ss= slip stitch ch = chain note-ch 1 does not count as a stitch with t shirt yarn and a 9mm hook: 1. ...

Granny Square Purse Tutorial

This is a super quick and fun make using any granny square pattern you like. It’s a great way of using up any yarns scraps you have and would work well using lots of different types of yarn. I used knitcraft cotton blend yarn from hobbycraft with a 4mm hook but you could use any yarn and hook size to suit. Simply make a 7 round granny square using your preferred method or use the pattern below. I wanted to use quite a solid square. You’ll then finished with a row of double crochet and sew. Change colour after each row if you like, just remember to work over your yarn tails as you go to save time weaving in all those ends later. You will need: Cotton blend yarn in 4 colours. I used purple, hot pink, mustard and teal 4mm hook 1 button In UK terms: Rnd1. Make a magic ring and chain 3 (equals 1 treble crochet stitch throughout)  3x treble crochet, chain 2 (4 trebles, chain 2) x3, slip stitch to top of chain 3 to join then fasten off Rnd2-7. Joining new colour in any ...

Crochet Medal-free pattern

This was a fun little make I came up with after running my first 10k race. Race is probably not the right word though! I'm no athlete but I finished and its the taking part that counts right? I've been running for a few months now and every time I'd come home from my Saturday morning park run, my son would excitedly ask where my medal was. I decided when I did eventually get my first event medal it would be fun to make him one of his very own...so crochet to the rescue yet again! The children have had lots of fun with these over the school holidays and they're so quick to make you will need: 3x50g paintbox yarns cotton dk in pink, white and blue 1x metallic dk in martini (you can substitute this for any cotton or acrylic dk yarn) 3.5mm hook stitch marker small amount of toy stuffing Medal is made using the amigurumi technique and worked in a spiral. Do not join after each row, use stitch marker at beginning of each row to help keep count Abbreviations: ...
