Supernatural CAL – Week 5

It’s week five of our Supernatural crochet along! Find all the details about the CAL on Ravelry here. And find The Road So Far updates of our progress and previously released panels here.

Supernatural Crochet Along Week 5

First an announcement – I am locked out of my Facebook groups and pages! I am hoping that Facebook will fix the problem soon and I’m sorry if you’ve requested to join one of my groups. I’m so sad to be without my Supernatural CAL babes. I hope you’re having fun in the group with out me. *cry face emoji*

This week is all about angels!

This panel gave me more trouble than any other when trying to design it. I redesigned this thing about a million times. But in the end I think it turned out well. I also designed the angel blade applique – the one and only applique in the entire blanket.

I added a little white detailing on the handle of my angel blade. I was going for a reflective glint look but I’m not sure if I pulled it off. I’m still pretty happy with it though.

That’s it for this week! Check back in next week for more Supernatural awesomeness.

Supernatural Crochet Along Week 4

This week we have two panels that represent both the Header and Footer of our blanket, if you will.

I always like to include a fun image or gif in these posts and I found the most perfect video on Youtube. I still tear up at this. I’m such a dork.

That musical tho.

The Road so Far

Week four update. Oh my gosh, it’s coming together amazingly!

That’s it for this week! Check back in next week for more Supernatural awesomeness.

Happy Fall Y’all – Free Graph Pattern

I have a new Autumn inspired graphghan for you today! This free pattern is for all my fallophiles out there who can’t get enough pumpkin everything.

Fall Graphghan Free Crochet Pattern

When you live in a place without a proper Fall (raises hand) you have to create your own Faux Fall experience.

A little Dollar Tree Autumn decor anyone? Yes please. Don’t hold back, let your Fall freak flag fly! And to help you channel your inner Autumn Goddess I have a series of graphs releasing in the coming weeks.

Also, check out my Fall Pinterest Board for more Fall Crochet Inspiration. Follow now.

Fall Throw Blanket

Today we have what I’m calling a nice “throw” sized blanket graphghan. The graph is 76 x 95 tiles large and, depending on the crochet method you choose, should make a nice medium sized throw.

However, because I haven’t crocheted the graph myself, I cannot predicted the exact size of your finished blanket. Every hooker’s blanket will vary in size depending on yarn, hook size, stitch choice, and personal tension.

New to Graphs?

If you’re interested in corner to corner (c2c) or mini c2c check out this post for heaps of tutorials. If c2c is not for you, check out this post for a few other options for crocheting a graph.

Join my new Facebook Group

I love designing graphghans but I don’t have time to crochet all the graphs that I make. If you finish this graph or any of my others please make sure to show me! I have a new Facebook group just for fans of Psychedelic Doilies where you can show off your finished projects. Make sure to answer the two entry questions or your request will be denied after 24 hours. Join the group now.

You can also tag on me on Instagram @psychedelicdoilies and on Facebook.

Get the free graph now

The free pdf file includes a full sized version of the graph and also a 4 part breakdown which you may choose to print out and tape together so that the tiles are larger and easier to see.

Happy Hooking!

Supernatural CAL – Week 3

It’s week 3 of our Supernatural crochet along! Find all the details about the CAL on Ravelry here. And find The Road So Far updates of our progress and previously released panels here.

Supernatural Crochet Along Week 3

There are TWO new panels this week!

Pie and Beer

Everybody knows that the only thing Dean Winchester loves more than Baby and Sam is pie and beer.

Flannel

The Winchester Family Business Unofficial Uniform. I know it’s technically plaid and not flannel but plaid feels preppy and flannel sounds rustic. Sam and Dean are far from preppy. Plus, Crowley makes great flannel jokes. So there.

These panels may be small but they’re a bit of a pain in the arse! I thought that flannel was going to kill me. But I survived. Just like the Winchesters always do.

That’s it for this week! Check back in next week for more Supernatural awesomeness.

Happy Hooking!

Free Plaid Crochet Patterns

Last week I posted this buffalo plaid graphghan pattern and it was sort of like a shot of pumpkin spice straight to the veins. More fall please!

Realistically fall is a long way off, especially here in south Georgia where it will continue to be a million degrees until Christmas. But that’s not going to stop me from pretending like we experience all four seasons in the south.

Free Plaid Crochet Patterns

I’ve rounded up this list of 10 free plaid crochet patterns in case you’re also trying find your fall spirit. Of course, you can always change the colors to your preference but all patterns pictured are in the cozy red and black buffalo or lumberjack check look. Oh, except for the super cute pumpkin, which is black, white, and grey.

How to Crochet Plaid

Crocheting a plaid affect is easier than you may think and only requires 3 yarn colors of your choice and a little patience. For the classic buffalo look you simply need black, a bright red, and a deeper red. Easy peasy!
