Crochet Pattern - Blog Posts
Well you're in luck because I'm fully up to share the pattern! Below is the chart I used and its dimensions
78 tall x 77 wide
A couple specifications:
I made it using a 1.5mm hook and crochet thread but I probably would've gotten a better result with a 1mm hook instead
I HIGHLY reccomend using stitchfiddle, it's free and easy to use (which is why I share the dimensions) plus if you want to make any edits you can do that there too
I based the pattern off of the Pinterest post linked below which is also very beautiful
Go forth and crochet! If you end up using this pattern PLEASE show me, I'd love to see it!!!
Finally finished this filet crochet project of the goddess Hestia!
I'm insanely proud of it and it's currently being blocked
Done with a 1.5mm hook, pen for scale below:
Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket
In 2020 my husband and I got really into the 1984 Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. In The Musgrave Ritual, the fourth episode of the second season, Holmes spends a lot of time swanning around being cranky wrapped in a crochet blanket. I had: lots of online classes and zoom calls, lots of pent up anxiety and energy, a wrist injury that flared up during everything except crocheting for some reason, and a Holmes-loving husband who was just as obsessed with this iconic blanket as I was. So I made this!
If you'd like to make one too, read on. I wrote the pattern two different ways; both are in the reblogs. There's a quick and dirty version where I assume you know the basics of crochet and throw some details at you and it's pattern chaos. And there's a nice, neat, detailed pattern with more specific instructions. Caveat for both: I'm a long-time "figure-it-outer" when it comes to fiber craft and I've made up tons of projects but I am new to writing a pattern for someone else to interpret. So good luck in there. And let me know if you have questions!
Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket: Chaos Pattern
Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket: Detailed Pattern
UPDATE 2:
So. Many. Granny Squares. ಠ_ಠ
I'm estimating about... 70 or so that need to be made? I was roughly measuring about 10 squares around my torso and 7 squares down. This isn't counting the sleeves—which aren't granny squares, but a granny stitch instead. I'm having to divide my crochet time. This is a personal project, but I also have crochet commissions I gotta finish up.
Current commission requests are a 6ft x 6ft/1.8m x 1.8m Polyamorous-Pansexual Pride Blanket done in a C2C(corner-to-corner) stitch, along with two Pansexual Pride Bees, and a new commission request of a 1ft/0.3m tall Cheese the Chao amigurumi.
Here is the current progress of my pride blanket commission and what the pride bees will look like!
The draft image of the completed look:

My commissions are OPEN if any of you are interested in my crochet wares! Feel free to message me here or check out my Ko-Fi page.
I'll continue to keep y'all updated on the Donut Lord Sweater. Thank you so much for the likes and reblogs. I really appreciate it!
So... I saw Sonic 3...
I... Am SO TEMPTED to crochet this goddamn beautiful abomination of a sweater. It seems simple enough. It's basically a bunch of granmy squares with sewn on amigurumi donuts. It would be time consuming, but I am so tempted...
Would anyone want one? Or am I the only one who absolutely adored this sweater? 🤔
UPDATE:
I'm currently going through my yarn stash to collect colors. Sooooo far—warning, I'm in hyperfixation mode—I got all the colors I believe I need listed. These color names are based from the JoAnn store brand Big Twist.
Base Sweater: Varsity Blue Sapphire Varsity Navy Blue
Donuts(est 19 counted)/Sherff Badges/Letters: Baby Pink Lilac/Soft Purple Nile Green Toffee Cream/Caramel Varsity Gold Varsity Red White
Now the next thing I gotta do is list all the donut color combos. They come in sprinkles and two types of swirls.
I'm going through my yarn stash(I don't have a problem, I have a perfectly healthy amount of yarn collected, shut up) and see what colors I have. It isn't gonna be perfect, but it'll be close enough color-wise. I will be documenting/recording the whole process of the sweater.
If—IF—I'm successful on this and if I get any requests from folks who wanna buy one of their own, it'll be posted on my Ko-Fi page along with all my other crochet goods.
...Hell, maybe I could do a giveaway if I ever reached 500 or 1000 followers on my BlueSky. That's something to think about if that ever happened. 🤔
