It’s here 🌿 The Trailing Leaves Blanket is live!

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Today’s the day! 🎉
The Trailing Leaves Blanket crochet pattern has officially launched, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.

This blanket is all about cosy texture and quiet, nature-inspired details. The trailing leaf effect is created using front post and back post US double crochet stitches, giving it that rich, raised texture that looks far more complicated than it actually is.

Here’s how you can crochet it:

​🍃 Free to view on the blog (US terms – perfect for following along online)
🍃 Premium PDF on Etsy & Ravelry – ad-free, printable, and written in both US & UK terms

The PDF is ideal if you love:
✨ Curl-up-on-the-sofa crochet
✨ Clear, distraction-free patterns
✨ Something soothing but satisfying to work on

To celebrate the launch, the pattern is available at a special launch price on Etsy and Ravelry for a limited time.

👉 Grab the PDF at the launch price
👉 Or head to the blog to start crocheting today

I can’t wait to see your Trailing Leaves blankets taking shape 💚
Tag me if you share – I’d love to see.

Happy crocheting,
Gemma
Concrete Gems

PS: If you love textured stitches and nature-inspired makes, this one’s definitely for you 🌿

Hi Reader, I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the Spring Landscapes crochet pattern so far. It’s been so nice seeing new motifs going up on the blog each day, and I’ve really loved spotting your makes starting to appear too. The crochet along for that will continue, but I couldn’t quite resist sharing something else with you today. The weather has been warming up here, and yesterday I spent all afternoon outside watching my son at his school cross-country event. It was beautifully sunny...

Hi Reader, I just wanted to pop into your inbox during this gentle, in-between week and say I hope you had a really lovely Christmas.

This space between Christmas and New Year always feels like a slower, more reflective pause — and it also feels like a...
