Crochet Story by Mimi

✨ A design that’s stood the test of time ✨

I designed this crochet blanket pattern back in 2022, and it’s been amazing to see how many makers have made it their go-to project ever since. 💛

With its soft gradient color changes and relaxing stitch pattern, it’s the kind of blanket that’s as enjoyable to crochet as it is to snuggle under.

Seeing your beautiful versions over the years has been the best part. Every color combination brings a whole new personality to the pattern, and I love how creative this community is. 🧶

If you’ve made this blanket, I’d love to see it! Tag me so I can admire and share your work.

Pattern: Breezy Blanket by me.

This is how Chat GPT interpreted me as a crochet artist. I asked it to create a caricature of me as a crocheter and yarn lover. Happy with the result ☺️. You should give it a try!

Creamy, chunky, and finally finished ✨
This heavy throw has officially found its home on our new couch and I’m a little bit obsessed.

Made with a 25mm hook (which felt huge at first but got easier with every row 💪🏼). There’s also a cameo from my husband doing a very serious “comfort test” 😄✔️

It’s way too hot in Melbourne right now to actually snuggle under it, but come winter… this blanket will be put to work. ❄️🛋️

Pattern: Mel’s heavy throw pattern
Yarn: Massy yarn in colour sheep
Hook size: 25mm

A few months. Countless stitches. One heartfelt gift. 🧶💙

This crocheted blanket came together slowly across 2025 — worked on in quiet moments, evenings, and in-between pockets of time.

Handmade. Heartmade. Always worth it. ✨

Yarn: Ferris wheel yarn in colours full moon and vintage carousel

🎆Happy New Year!!! First project for 2026. Although it’s 40+ degrees in Melbourne, it’s never too hot to crochet a blanket 😅

I have been wanting to make this blanket to drape over my new couch. Thanks for the inspiration . You truly are the queen of blanket patterns 🙌

The Escape Beanie

Make this beginner friendly beanie that uses only 2 types of stitches. This pattern creates a ‘braid’ like effect that makes a unique ribbed beanie. Using an ombre yarn creates a ‘one of a kind’ beanie as the colour order of each ball starts off differently. Quick and easy to make, perfect weekend project!
