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

Published 8 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’ve got something a bit different for you this week. It’s a crochet tie! I had an idea for a men’s tie in slate grey and blue, with the kind of classic, modern look you see in a woven tie, but this one is made with a gorgeous herringbone texture. That became the Slate Mens Tie, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. It’s worked in fingering weight yarn with a 3mm hook, uses just a few stitches, and is the full length of a man's tie. It’s an easy-level project, perfect for...

Hi Reader, It's definitely turning chilly now (in fact I've been wearing two jumpers while I'm sat working the past couple of days!) But that also means it's crochet season, and I have definitely been busy! My tweed acorn pattern is out today - I actually designed this over a year ago but didn't have time to release it last autumn! Worked in worsted weight tweed yarn and stuffed so it holds its shape, it measures 6.5 x 3.5 inches (16.5 x 9 cm). It’s an easy make that takes about 1-2 hours,...

Hi Reader, The weather is definitely getting colder now, which means it's time for autumn beanies! My new Cobnut Beanie pattern is out today. It's worked in the pique stitch, which gives a lovely textured fabric, and it's made in warm autumnal colours. It's crocheted side to side, then seamed, and the brim is folded over to finish it off. It's an easy make that takes around 5-10 hours, and it comes in six sizes, from newborn right up to medium/large adult, so you can make one for the whole...
