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

Published 7 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, The summer holidays are looming, it's almost July and I'm trying to get organised ready for the busy season! This year I'm properly leaning into Christmas in July (I know, I know, it might feel impossible to start thinking about Christmas now - but from a crochet perspective it totally makes sense!) Over the next month, I'll be sharing on email and on my socials lots of different Christmas patterns, so you can plan and get started on those gifts and decorations before it's too...
