The Crochet Brocade Blanket screams my name for me to crochet. The layers, the challenge, the glory!
Upon closer inspection of trying to see the squares, I opened the pattern and instantly quivered with glee! The close-ups of these motifs had me squealing for more!
The motifs are rectangular in shape with an unusual oval centre that says... "Oh Mikey, you know you want to hook me up!" and I am like "Oh yes I do!"
So excited, I dashed to my collection in my night robe. Went like the swift wind with my robe trailing behind me. Look out, yarn collection, I'm about to create something! The PuppiDawg, as I passed, sighed and thought, "Oh gawd, here he goes again... has he no decency!"
The pattern has colour options for different seasons. Check out the Christmas-looking version! "Ummm, hello! Do I say more!?"
I learned a lot, and I have never crocheted like this before! I was curious with a bit of lunacy and passion for the yarn! I made a few mistakes, which I frogged and learned from them. With it, a sample was born. I felt cocky about the progress and so satisfied with myself over the results!
There has been a demand for more advanced patterns in tutorial format from our community. This is advanced for sure, and honestly, once you do one of these, just dump the box of blue ribbons on your sample and call it a day! I think it's incredible. I should disclaim here, though, if you don't win a prize for this... ummm... jump up and down and cry foul! But seriously, a high level of satisfaction awaits!
This could be the 'Christmas Afghan' of the year! Be creative! Am I going to film this... "Ummm, yeah! Like right away because I am coo coo for coa coa puffs! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
If you don't know how to read patterns. See those balls that circle the oval; those are done individually. You could do colour play and live dangerously! I see potential... hell, I see dead people! I see stars... I see opportunities with yarn.
Leave me a comment below on how you feel about this one? I'm dying to know! Even if you hate it... I'm still filming it as this makes me hot and bothered! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Maria Bradford says
I have just completed the throw and about to start with the border. Naively, I anticipated that I would take about 2mths (started July 2024) but here it is November 24, 2024! Thanks for the tutorial and pattern. I refer to the tutorial often.
Is there a way to paste my jpeg of the throw?

I have just read your choices of attachments and so here is my image of creativity.
Mikey says
OMG the amount of work you put into this is so well done. I wouldnt have that much patience.

Thanks for the tip about weaving in ends....by spitting fibers!! Never thought that was 'kosher' but it makes sense. I HAVE had ends come out, even tho' I've done the 1-2-3 step (again on your advice).
Kathy Steel says
So looking forward to doing this one. Color schemes are all wonderful. Can't wait to see everybody else's. Thank you for the tutorial.
Samantha says
This is beautiful. I can't wait to try it. Looking forward to the video.
Charlene says
I was to excited and couldn't wait for your tutorial, took some of my leftover yarns to see what I could make. Lots of ends to weave in! The hardest part I found was having to do each petal separately, if you could figure out how to do this continuously that would be great! My square has is buckled, have one more round to complete so that may help it to lay flat.
Looking forward to seeing what colour schemes everyone uses.
T. Armstrong says
Yes!! Love it! Can't wait for the tutorial
Charlene says
Because I couldn't wait, I started working on this one. Made one block and have to say, there is a lot of ends to weave in. Hopefully with all of your expert knowledge you can figure out a way to do the petals without having to make a new one each time. Not sure what I have done wrong, but I mine is buckling mind you I am only on round 9, maybe it will flatten out.
Looking forward to your tutorial and seeing the colour combo that you develop.
Mikey says
I know you messaged a long time ago and I am trying to catch up. Hopefully by now you realized it has flattened out.
Amanda Lamm says
I think this might be a terrific Christmas afghan! I like working in squares (so I keep from feeling overwhelmed by the growing size) and this is a super looking pattern! Excited to see your video!!
