This Aran cable style crochet blanket has a pleasing cable work pattern but uses no post stitches.

The designs have been inspired by the colours of flowers, the moods of past summers, as well as Brooklyn’s neighbourhoods. The Cosy Coed Cardigan from Heart Hook Home is super versatile and can be worked with buttons or a zipper! I want to finish off with something completely different… If you want something a bit out there, how about these Crochet Braces / Suspenders– a free pattern pattern from Vincent of Knot Bad. You can guarantee that you won’t get any doubling up on gifts come Christmas morning with this one! This pattern will take longer than ‘My Brother’s Beanie’ hat to crochet but is worth the time investment. It has a new no-gather construction which will require some sewing and is an intermediate crochet pattern but is so worth the time investment.

The version you see here has no stripe, though the original one, after which the pattern was named does.
