This week, I finished the pattern for the Arcade Treads Blanket. Christian (my 18-year-old) got to name this one. He said it definitely gave him "arcade vibes". The neon colors are so bright. But, working outside my comfort zone turned out to be really fun!

I know that I've used a lot of colors in this Arcade Treads Blanket. You don't necessarily need to use this many if you want to tone down the arcade neon feel. You could even stick with only two colors and the blanket will be just as great.

Because I need to get these blankets finished so quickly, it's a small throw size, like a lapghan. You can make it any size you like, though. You aren't governed by my self-imposed deadline of one pattern per week.

Use the stitch count to increase the row length and then simply crochet until you get to the row count you would like. Or, maybe you would like to simply use a heavier weight yarn to make everything a size up. It's all up to you.

You may know about the first anniversary of my website. Last month, I held a promotion to give away three PDF downloads. I was told that many people missed it, so I'm doing it again.

Visit the Pick 3 PDFs Promotion page to view the patterns in this month's promotion. I didn't want this promotion to be exactly the same as the last one so the patterns are all completely different than the first time around. 

And, last thing, right before I go, I pulled together 100 Free Tunisian Crochet Patterns that I know you're going to love. So, if you love Tunisian crochet or you're just starting to get interested in it, be sure to have a visit and browse through all the things you can do!

Until next time, Happy Crocheting!
