Zariah sitting in her yarn corner, holding a folded green and cream granny square blanket — my yarn corner, Vermont

hi, I'm Zariah!

I believe anyone can make a blanket they're proud of.

I've been crocheting blankets for over 12 years from my cozy home in Vermont, usually with a mug of coffee nearby and a dog asleep on my feet. I design easy patterns with simple stitches and clear, step-by-step instructions: the kind I wish I'd had when I started.

From quick baby blankets to chunky throws for the couch, every pattern here is free and written in plain, friendly English.

xo, Zariah
