The Crochet Design Concept For The Honeymilk Throw Crochet Pattern: A Modern Granny Square Blanket.

Like many crocheters, I'm no stranger to granny squares. In fact, one of my first crochet projects ever was a large granny square blanket that turned out heavy, chunky, and overall had a very "handmade" look to it, which eventually ended up stored in the back of my closet! I've seen many granny square blankets over the years that always have that same "handmade" feel to it, which I've always personally thought was unattractive and outdated as a home decor item. So when I had the idea to create The Honeymilk Throw (a granny square blanket) I was a little hesitant at designing it because I really wanted it to turn out more "heirloom" than "handmade", and have a classic, sophisticated look to it. In other words, I wanted to do a modern twist on a classic design.

More Details About The Honeymilk Throw Crochet Pattern

The Honeymilk Throw crochet pattern is definitely an heirloom blanket that is very simple to crochet. The blanket was specifically designed to have more of a modern twist on a classic original -- The Granny Square Blanket -- but it is just as simple to crochet, and the eyelet details keep your interest. The squares have an "x" and "o" design throughout, but also have corner edge eyelet details to tie it all together. And the throw also has additional added eyelet details throughout, to make the throw light and airy and not heavy and weighted, like many crochet blankets tend to end up like. It would look perfect in rustic farmhouse decor, super modern decor, shabby chic decor, or any other type, due to its classic cream color and design.

And guess what? When you purchase the pattern, you automatically gain access to three premium video tutorials to help guide you through crocheting the squares for the throw -- just to make it that much easier to make!

The Honeymilk Throw Crochet Pattern Granny Squares Design And Look

There are so many beautiful details incorporated into the design of The Honeymilk Throw that I just love so much! One of the squares starts as a circle, and then grows into a square, and incorporates eyelet lace details. The other square is a beautiful "x" classic square design, that also incorporates lace eyelet details. Both squares are larger than your average granny square. Then there is the dainty bobble edge detailing all the way around the blanket that adds just the right amount of pop! I've mentioned it so many times before, but it's definitely worth repeating: The Honeymilk Throw is lightweight, airy, and not overly weighted or chunky like some crocheted blankets tend to be. This means that it is not only easier to wash and care for, but it also has less of a "handmade" feel, and is more modern, and is easier to drape over a chair, the bed, or your lap! This is a true heirloom blanket that can be loved and cherished for many generations.

Can I Crochet The Honeymilk Throw? Difficulty Level + Process For This Modern Granny Square Blanket

The Honeymilk Throw crochet pattern is perfect for advanced beginners, and is an overall easy pattern to follow. For those who have experience with basic crochet techniques, this pattern will be a breeze. I specifically designed this crochet pattern to be suitable for advanced beginners, because I wanted it to be easy to follow and fun, but just a more 'updated' version on a classic granny square throw blanket.

The Honeymilk Throw is comprised of various squares that are crocheted in the round, starting at the center, then growing outward. After each square is finished, it is set aside, until you have the amount of squares that the pattern calls for. Then all squares are easily seamed together. It's super easy to seam these squares together because each square has an eyelet lace detail on the outside, so when you put two squares together, you can easily see where to seam. In my opinion, this simple detail makes a world of a difference when seaming the throw together -- it took no time at all! After the throw is all seamed together, you will work a simple bobble border around the entire edge. Over the years, I've learned various ways to crochet bobbles (some difficult, others easy). I specifically designed the bobble edge of The Honeymilk Throw to be super easy to make and it whips up in no time at all.
