Citrouille Pumpkin Baby Blanket - Crochet Pattern

As crocheters, we often find inspiration in the most unexpected moments, and the story behind our Citrouille Pumpkin Baby Blanket crochet pattern is no exception. Late one night, whilst feeding my new baby, inspiration struck. A few quick notes, a spark of creativity, and weeks later, the crochet design journey began. Much like the Waggle Dance Bee Blanket, I was drawn to weaving together two distinct crochet techniques – filet and colourwork.

Video Blog - Episode 8

Thank you for coming to check out episode 8 of our video blog 😀. Between various family illnesses, a small baby (and that that entails) and working on some new patterns it has been a very busy month. I have been thoroughly enjoying lots of baby snuggles, and mentally planning new patterns whilst doing midnight feeds lol.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had quite as much crochet time as I would like - I have yet to master crocheting with a baby resting on my chest! However, this has encouraged me to concentrate on finishing WIPs and the crochet projects that are most important at this moment in time. Fortunately, I finished my So Eggstra blanket before the baby arrived which allowed the launch to go a little more smoothly - although technical issues with our camera corrupted the cover photo that I had originally selected 😢. Fingers crossed that this will be fixed soon.

The So Eggstra Blanket

Our beautiful Easter egg-themed blanket crochet pattern makes an adorable baby blanket - perfect for gifting at your next baby shower 😊. This baby-sized afghan will keep your gorgeous bundle of joy feeling safe and warm.

This pattern was the last Elimee Designs pattern that I managed to crochet before the wee Miss arrived. I knew that colourwork would be challenging to manage with both a baby resting on me and a sleep-deprived brain lol. I loved crocheting this pattern because it allowed me to combine two of my favourite crochet techniques - filet crochet and colourwork.

The Waggle Dance Bee Blanket crochet pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners. The small bee panels are a great introduction to colourwork, and coordinate beautifully with the larger filet section.

The Caitlin Zigzag Blanket

The Caitlin Zigzag Blanket was our first ever crochet pattern when we launched in September 2021. The design was inspired by my best friend. She was pregnant with her now toddling little cutie and I offered to make her a blanket for when she was born. Over a year later I decided to take the leap and create an official pattern from the original blanket.
