6-Day Crochet Along

Days 2&3

Day 2 of the Crochet Along I swatched the Ridgy Didge, but I didn't quite finish because my internet went out.


Yesterday I went ahead and finished the swatch, so I put both videos together.


Tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET I will work on a Retro Rainbow swatch and show how I carried the yarns up the sides of the blanket to avoid weaving in ends.


I will be live on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok during the crochet along to film new swatch tutorials for you, to answer your questions and to cheer you on.

No Two 6-Day Kid Blankets are Alike!


The best thing about the 6-Day Kid Blanket crochet pattern is its versatility. The stitches take on a completely different look when crocheters change colors on different rows. Popular stripes have names - Vivid Chevrons (the original), The Snowflake Effect (a favorite), Viral Stripes, Australian Confetti (aka Sweetheart), and the Popsicle Effect.

The Ridgy Didge uses back post stitches to create a textured ridge between the double crochet rows.

The Tranquility Stripe is a drama-free adaptation of the 6-Day Kid Blanket that eliminates the chevron.

All patterns are available for free with ads on my site.
