Meet Cindy Unangst

Cindy Unangst, NorthEast Mama, did not learn to crochet until her 30’s.   What started as a simple desire to make blankets for the baby boom in her circle, has developed into a full-blown obsession. 

Over time, Cindy has blossomed from occasional maker to pattern designer.  Her inspiration for patterns spring from all parts of her life: keeping her family warm and cozy during long New Hampshire winters; her desire to reduce waste around her house; her commitment to promoting independent yarn shops and dyers. 

While her initial reasons for learning to crochet has changed, she still finds time to make and donate dozens of baby blankets a year.

Pattern Notes

• US Terminology
• Similar 100% cotton weight yarns may be substituted; please check gauge.
• I used Caron Cotton Cakes, (MC) Silver Cloud, (C2) Watermelon, (C3) Cream.
• If you want fewer ends to weave and snip, crochet overall ends.
• Use stitch markers in each [2SC].  This is to ensure you are getting a triangular shape for the cover flap. As you work, ensure a triangular shape is kept.
