Good Day Crafties!
It's been a while since the last time I wrote! Now that school is out and I have a little breathing room, I've decided to go through my list of ✨free✨ crochet patterns to see which ones needed to be placed on the blog next.
This particular design is another classic that I put out in 2018. It was inspired by the logo of the creator fundraising platform I use called, Ko-fi. I really like it because the platform itself doesn't take fees from us creators, who most of the time are just trying to get by.
I've never really put an emphasis on my donation page in the past for numerous reasons. Primarily, its because it felt weird. Today, I still don't require people donate but, if you've enjoyed my fiber art
teachings for any length of time, a coffee would definitely help keep the channel alive in the coming months.
Today I'm refreshing this blanket patch in honor of 5 years of being on the platform and I hope you'll enjoy it! Colorwork has always been very fun for me so this design was a blast. It's also fairly quick to get through. When not trying to document it, the whole process may take 1.5 hours tops.
