When my daughter asked me for a Christmas blanket this year, I couldn’t help but design a crochet pattern for her. You can’t say no to your kids, right?! I’m a huge fan of Christmas, so was grateful for the excuse because I find myself feeling all cheery and festive for months in advance. I love planning how i’m going to make the big day as special as possible for my girls.
I can’t wait to snuggle up all cosy and warm under my Festive Hygge Blankets (I have two girls – soon to be three – so have made two blanket so far) with my girls, watching a cheesy Christmas movie, and with cups of hot chocolate with marshmallows all round of course!
This festive afghan is a C2C (corner-to-corner) based crochet pattern featuring 15 motifs, of my favourite Christmas things, for you to choose from so that you can make your blanket completely unique.

I chose to make my festive throws using a blue and white colour scheme. I was tempted by the more traditional red, however I’m trying to shrink my stash before baby bump arrives as my crafting room is being converted back into a nursery (babies always seem to have so much stuff!). When I had a rummage through my stash I found lots of Stylecraft Special DK in midnight blue (left over from my Heavenly Hugs Baby Blanket) and felt that it would pair well with white. Admittedly I did purchase a little extra yarn in order to give them a bit of sparkle - my girls love sparkle! I used J C Brett Twinkle Yarn in silver – with 20% off courtesy of the Blue Light Card discount that LoveCrafts offer.
Below you can also see some of the beautiful versions made by our testers – Glenda Herbert, Jayde Hartwell and Vijetha Kodialbail. What colour will you make yours?
Glenda used a mixture of J C Brett Twinkle Yarn in white and Stylecraft Special DK.
Jayde used J C Brett Top Value DK Yarn and So Crafty DK.
Vijetha used Oswal 4 Ply Knit Plus Yarn.
