Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!
Today is the final freebie for the month of May designed especially for The Linus Connection.
In the distant, far, far away time of 2005, my website was called Jen’s Crochet & Crafts. There were at that time, way more crochet than crafts, and the very beginning of my quilting adventures!
Coconut Candy was posted to that long ago web site and has been along for the ride ever since. I’ve made several for The Linus Connection over the years, some multicolored, some not.
Working on today’s post led me to revisit my Ravelry page, something I haven’t done in a long, long time. I spent a little time there updating links and making sure all the patterns actually went somewhere. It seems a long time ago that I was almost exclusively designing crochet projects!
I hope you’ll enjoy today’s yummy pattern. ♥

The original version of this pattern was given to me by a friend as a hand written pattern. I lost that pattern for years, but continued to make the blanket, and when I finally found the pattern again, I realized I’d modified it significantly from the original version as I’d tried to work from memory. Oops!
Another name for this blanket could be “stash eater” because it loves yarn! It’s a very simple pattern that makes a squishy, thick and snuggly blanket.
The one pictured will be donated to The Linus Connection.
The blanket works up to be approximately 36″ wide. It looks great with wide or thin stripes, in variegated yarn or solid!
You’ll need:
Shell = (sc in next sc, ch 3, dc) in same st
Ch 130
Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook, skip next 2 ch, (sc in next ch, ch 3, dc) in same st. [sk next 2 ch ( )] to end of base ch, sc in last ch.
Row 2: ch 3, dc in same st, sk ch 3, (shell) in each sc across, sc in last ch 3 sp.
Repeat Row 2 for desired length.
For edging, continue pattern around by working (shell) in ch 3 spaces along sides and back of foundation row. Finish off.
I donated this one to Linus in April of 2005

Mmm, luscious pink strawberry ice cream. Soft pink with bits of brighter yumminess. That’s what I had in mind when working up this baby blanket pattern.
This pattern is also available on Knit Picks!
You’ll need:
Finishes approximately 36″
Note: Ch 3 counts as first dc throughout
hole-free center made using magic loop technique
Instructions:
Row 1: With Color A, use the magic loop* (also called magic ring) technique. [3 dc, 2 ch] four times on loop, join at the top of first dc with a sl st. Pull loop tight.
*you can also start this like a traditional granny square: ch 3 , 2dc, [ch 2, 3 dc], rep [ to ] 2 times, ch 2, join to the top of ch 3 with a sl st.
Row 2: Ch 3, turn, dc in each dc across, [2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in corner], continue to dc across, repeating [ ] for corners, join with a sl st in the top of ch 3.

Rows 4-6: Repeat Row 2, join Color C at sl st, end of row 6.
Rows 7-9: Repeat Row 2, join Color A at sl st, end of row 9.

made in 2003 for The Linus Connection
This is yet another baby blanket I designed specifically with The Linus Connection in mind. Linus receives the great majority of my crochet efforts and because crochet is so portable, I get a lot done. I crochet in the carpool line, when I watch telly or when I have to wait for an appointment. If my hands are busy, I tend to be happy!
Use up your scraps, go solid, variegated or ombre. Each works brilliantly with a wavy ‘ghan!
For the scrappy version, you’ll need:
Finished size is approximately 40″, depending on your gauge. This is a homey pattern and I don’t fuss about the gauge, as long as it’s crocheting up nicely.
Note: When changing colors, join new color with a sl just before you ch 3 for a new row.
ch 132
Row 1: 1 dc into third ch from hook and in the next three ch, *skip 2 ch, 1 dc into next 4 ch, ch 2, 1 dc in next 4 ch*. Repeat * to * until the last six ch. Skip 2 ch, 1 dc in next 3 ch, 2 dc in last ch. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2: 1 dc in first st, 1 dc in next 3 st, *sk 2 st, 1 dc in next 3 st, (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) into ch 2 sp. 1 dc in next 3 st*. Repeat * to * until the last six ch. Skip 2 ch, 1 dc in next 3 ch, 2 dc in top of last dc. Ch 3, turn.
Pattern: Repeat row 2 until blanket is approximately 40″ long. Finish off.
For a more delicate pattern, try a lighter weight yarn with a smaller hook.
Happy crafting!

Monique is one of my favorite blanket patterns to make for The Linus Connection.
It’s easy, relatively fast, works well with just about any yarn and can be adapted to be a smaller or larger size. Make it with all one color or use up your leftovers!
I’m not including yarn amounts here because it really varies on what size you’d like to make and what kind of yarn you choose. The one shown is made with Caron Simply Soft.
Ch 122 (or any multiple of 3 + 2)
Row 1: 1 hdc into third ch from hook, skip 1 st *(1sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in next st, sk 2 sts*, rep *to*, end of row, 1 sc in last st, ch 2,
turn.
Row 2: 1 hdc in first st, (1 sc, ch 1, 1dc) in ch sp of the previous row. 1 sc in ch 2 space, ch 2, turn.
Rep until blanket is approximately square or slightly rectangular.
For edging, continue pattern in ch sp around remaining 3 sides. Join with sl stitch and finish off.
