Crochet Sword and Shield to Fight Bad Dreams

It is no secret that my kids often inspire my patterns. This pattern is no different.

For several nights my 6 year old son has been crawling into my bed saying, “I am scared. I had a bad dream.” Now I love snuggling with my kids, but I am a very light sleeper. So a night with him means no sleep for me.

In the morning I asked him, “What do you need to feel safe in your room?”

“A sword and shield to fight off the dragons and dinosaurs.” He answered. Well, that was that. I needed to design a crochet sword and shield pattern to keep my son safe from his dreams.

Arcade Waffle Crochet Blanket Pattern

by Lindsey

The Arcade Waffle Crochet Blanket is a combination of two beautiful stitches. The raised texture of the waffle stitch is balanced by the stunning look of an arcade stitch border.

Designing a Stunning Crochet Blanket

A while ago I figured out how to turn the arcade stitch into a blanket border. I just loved how it looked, but sadly it required a complex stitch count and would not work on many blankets. You need a stitch count of 6+3 on each side for the blanket for the border to work.

So instead I decided to create a blanket just for this border. I just love the heavy texture of the waffle stitch and using this stitch I was easily able to come up with the right stitch count for this border. Even better, I was able to size the baby blanket into 7 different blanket sizes to meet your needs.

This stitch combination makes a beautiful crochet baby blanket, but I think it would look amazing as a comforter on a twin, full, queen or even king sized bed.

A Baby Bib that will keep them clean!

I love letting my kids feed themselves, but their clothes tend to get ruined every time they eat spaghetti. I feel in love with this towel Bib my brother gave me for one of my girl’s birthdays. It was a kitchen towel with a collar in it and it completely covered my baby.
