Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket TOGETHER

We’re kicking off June 1st (plenty of time to order your kit and hide it from your cat/kids/overzealous cleaning habits). Every Saturday, we’ll tackle a new chunk of the pattern together—with plenty of moral support for when your yarn does that weird loopy thing (you know the one).

Let’s Make the Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket

Here’s How This Works:

Week 1 (June 1-7):

  •  Procrastinator’s Shopping Spree
    “Wait, I need what size hook?!” – Check your kit (or raid your stash)
    “But what if I pick the wrong color?!” – Post your yarn options in the comments and let us vote!

Week 2 (June 8-14):

  •  The “Oh God, Why Is My Edge So Wobbly?” Phase
    I’ll go live on Instagram to demo how to fix the classic beginner blunders (and yes, we’ll laugh about it afterward).

Week 3 (June 15-21):

  •  Mid-CAL Crisis Support Group
    Hit a wall? Post a photo of your blanket-in-progress with your beverage of choice (wine counts as a “beverage”). Best “I Need More Coffee” face wins a surprise yarny gift!

Week 4 (June 22-30):

  •  Ta-Dah! Party
    Show off your finished blanket—even if one corner looks suspiciously trapezoid-shaped. We’re here for the vibes, not geometry.

Why You Should Join:

  •  No perfection allowed (This is a judge-free zone)
  •  Real-time help (I’ll be stalking the hashtag #LowinkCAL daily)
  •  Sneaky giveaways (Because who doesn’t love free hooks?)

Comment “I’m in!” below—and tell me:
Are you using the kit yarn or going rogue with your stash?
 What’s your crochet nemesis? (Mine is counting stitches after row 10…)

P.S. Tag that friend who “doesn’t have time” to learn crochet. We’ll change their minds!
