I’m so excited to share today’s free pattern with you. Today’s pattern comes from Claire of E’Claire Makery. It’s a Snowflake Sugar Cookie Blanket for you to crochet and snuggle under the tree…and best yet, it’s sugar-free! 

It’s featured Oct 28 for the Best of 30 Days of Cozy!

Here’s what Claire has to say about it:

Hi makers! I am so excited to bring you my Snowflake Sugar Cookie Blanket that I made especially for the Crochetprenuer Blog. All of my designs are inspired by my love of food, cooking, and baking, with this design coming from all of my memories of baking sugar cookies growing up. It’s super soft, sweet, and almost looks good enough to eat! I can’t wait to snuggle with this blanket by the fire this holiday season, and I hope you enjoy snuggling with it as well. 

The free pattern, below, includes instructions for the child-size blanket. Want to make a bigger blanket? Check out the downloads section for the premium pattern which includes instructions for an adult size blanket with photo tutorials for the snowflake!

SNOWFLAKE

Short Spokes – make 2:

Ch 71, (starting in second ch from hook Sl st 6, *ch 7, starting in second ch from hook sl st 6, sl st in the 6th sl st on main piece* repeat once)

Repeat this on the side of the chains with the slip knot by slip stitching into the first chain.

Long Spokes – make 3:

Ch 91((starting in second ch from hook sl st 7, *ch 7, starting in second ch from hook sl st 6, sl st in the 7th chain st from original sl st, *repeat once, Sl st 5 on original ch stitches, *ch 5, sl st 4, sl st in 5th sl st you just did on original ch stitches,* repeat once)

Repeat this on the side of the chains with the slip knot by slip stitching into the first chain.

ASSEMBLY

To attach the snowflake pieces to the blanket, position them how they are in the picture above. Position the long pieces so that their points are lined up with the curves of the blanket. There are six curves, so each side of the long pieces matches up with one curve each. The small pieces go in between the spaces of the larger ones as pictured. Sew pieces on after positioning them. I position one at a time and then sew it on. Weave in ends when finished.

I know you’re going to love making the Snowflake Sugar Cookie Blanket and I so look forward to seeing your finished product.

Until then, stay cozy and keep on yarning. ♥
