Collection: Crochet Your Way Through the Year: Sampler Blanket Series
Instructor: Heather Swan (aka Yarn Queen)
Ready to turn one square at a time into a masterpiece? This year-long Crochet Sampler Series is all about playful learning, skill-building, and ending the year wrapped in something you made yourself. Each month, we’ll crochet a 16" sampler square, exploring new stitches and techniques while slowly assembling enough fabric for a 4' x 6' blanket, no marathon crocheting required!
Every class introduces a fresh technique, from rich textures and cozy cables to airy lace and bold colorwork. Think of it as a creative playground where each square tells a story—and together they create something truly special.
Not a blanket person? No problem! These squares are wonderfully flexible. Use six squares to make a sampler poncho, or turn them into bags, pillows, wall hangings, or other fun projects. This series is about learning and making it your own.
We’ll also sprinkle in finishing magic throughout the year. In March, June, September, and December, classes will include seaming, assembly, and finishing tips so your projects look just as good at the end as they do on your hook.
