New*** My Favorite Waffle Stitch Blanket is a super easy, free crochet pattern that is surprisingly a 2 row repeat and can be made in multiple colors or solid… Additionally this blanket would also be beautiful using self striping yarn too!!! Best of all… In addition this is another Free Crochet Pattern!!!!
If you have been with me for long, you probably have noticed that I haven’t posted a new pattern in almost 2 years… YIKES! Well, with good reason and a good outcome! Both my lower thumb joints(3rd joint down closest to the wrist)had become so painful and full of arthritis I couldn’t hold anything in my hands, much less crochet. So, to begin with in November 2023 I finally was able to have a joint replacement in my right hand… On the negative side, 1 year recovery is the norm…
In April 2024 I had my left thumb joint replaced, but unfortunately that surgery failed due the tendons falling out of the new repair… Eventually in the end of August 2024 I had my 2nd surgery on my left hand that was extensive, But it worked!!! Consequently building back movement and strength has been slow but both hands are significantly better! Now I can crochet a bit a a time and I am totally excited to start publishing patterns again!!!
Post Surgery in August 2024
I am more than excited to present a new pattern to you all! Upcoming patterns are in the works as soon as possible . So with much anticipation and a bit of nerves… here is the my latest free crochet pattern… My Favorite Waffle Stitch Blanket!
