A collection of workshops and classes to help you gain the inspiration, skills and confidence to dream up & stitch your next crochet blanket project from 25 of your favorite crochet designers.
Whether you picked up your first hook last week, you've been crocheting for a little while or you've been following patterns for years...
and now you're ready to express your creativity, try something new and dream up your own crochet blanket project.
YOU WANT TO START A NEW BLANKET PROJECT BUT YOU FIND YOURSELF ...
Unsure how to get started and make a plan for your crochet blanket project. You need yarn and a hook but which one(s) and then what? How many stitches do you need? How much yarn?
Scared to commit to an entire blanket. You've made a few small projects and you want to take the plunge but What if you get it wrong and you wasted so much crochet time?
Wondering what you don’t know: there are SO many crochet blanket options and techniques out there you haven’t heard about yet. It’s kind of hard to look for a youtube tutorial for something you don’t know exists?!
Staring at the pretty yarn you picked at the last Michael’s sale and thinking you’ll make a blanket out of it, but now it’s been sitting in your stash for the last 6 months. How I am supposed to use it if it never matches any pattern I like?
Scrolling through Pinterest and finding lots of ideas you like, but none are perfect. You want to make something along the lines of design A but with yarn weight B and with 3 colors instead of just the 2. Maybe with this cute border and that fun stitch instead. But how?
Losing your crojo (aka crochet mojo), motivation and inspiration to crochet.
Tired and bored of the same simple patterns but the more intricate designs seem so unattainable. Is it even worth it to keep crocheting?
There is a better way!
With time, experience, and a whole lot of stitching, undoing and frustration, you would get there eventually, but
what if you could fast forward and gain 5-10 years crochet experience in just a few days?
HOW AWESOME WOULD IT FEEL TO ...
Know how to pick your materials and make a plan for your crochet blanket project.
Use up that pretty yarn you haven’t found the right blanket pattern for (because you don’t need to follow an exact pattern anymore to make a beautiful blanket).
Let patterns and designs inspire you, while expressing your creativity and dream up your own crochet blanket projects.
Discover new designers to follow and inspire you.
Discover and demystify SO many blanket techniques and constructions you can’t wait to try out.
Learn new skills to take, not only your blankets, but ALL your crochet projects to the next level.

MEET YOUR HOST
Hey! I'm Hortense
My mom taught me to knit, one summer when I was bored on the beach at age 10. From there my love (some would say obsession) of yarn was born and I never stopped stitching.
A few years ago I started to dig into the online world of yarn and discovered so many techniques, constructions and concepts I had never heard about before.
Slowly I started to move away from following patterns until 2018 when I finally launched my blog Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting & crochet patterns.
My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for you to create exactly what you want, the way you want it through my patterns, blog, ebooks, courses, the Stitching Squad and summits.
And crochet blankets are the perfect place to start!
HERE'S WHAT OUR LIVE ATTENDEES HAD TO SAY

MASTER CROCHET BLANKET SERIES
You don't need more stitch tutorials and patterns,
you can find those in just a few clicks on Youtube and Pinterest.
But what you can't get that easily is the knowledge and know-how to dream up your own projects that usually only comes with time and experience.
Instead of being general and either teaching stitches & techniques or giving you specific patterns to follow, the Master Crochet Blanket Series is all about giving you the skills, knowledge and our expertise, so you can dream up and make your own crochet blanket projects.
We won't be able to show you how to execute each stitch, each construction and each technique that exists for crochet blankets, but my hope is to give you enough general blanket knowledge and an overview of what exists so you can dream up your crochet blanket projects and Google any specific stitch or technique you'd need.
The Master Crochet Blanket Series was created specifically for crocheters like you
Who love crochet
Who want to express their creativity
Who have a million ideas a minute but don't know how to turn them into beautiful crochet projects (without a pattern)
YOU'RE READY TO DREAM UP & STITCH YOUR OWN CROCHET BLANKET PROJECTS WITH CONFIDENCE
It's time to stop second guessing yourself, spending hours crocheting blindly or sticking to the same old crochet blanket pattern you know. You're ready to finally make up your own crochet blankets you can proudly gift.
Sign up for instant access by clicking the button below and gain the inspiration, confidence, and skills to dream up & stitch your next crochet blanket project, giving you a 5-10 year crochet experience bump.
YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT YOU COVERED
Once you purchase the Master Crochet Blanket Series you'll get an email with your login credentials to access all the trainings and materials so you can dive in straight away.
Once you purchase the Master Crochet Blankets Series, you keep access to all the presentations and lesson materials forever (aka as long as I'm alive and run my website).
You don't need any specific materials to follow the classes.
In most of the classes, the designer will share her knowledge and expertise to help you make the best choices and plan your ideal crochet blanket projects. Therefore, I'd recommend a pen and paper to write down any ideas you have while watching the classes.
For the more hands-on classes teaching a specific skill or technique, I recommend having some worsted weight yarn (preferably in a lighter color) and a 4 or 5 mm / US G-6 or H-8 hook on hand to try out any new technique / skill during the class.
Each class is 20 to 25 minutes.
The Master Crochet Blanket Series was designed with less experienced crocheters in mind, whether you've been crocheting here and there for years or you just picked up a hook for the first time a few days ago, you'll learn A TON about making crochet blankets through this series.
As long as you know how to chain and work some basic stitches (single crochet and double crochet for example) I'd love to have you join us!
So have many of the designers!
You'll probably already know a lot of what's being shared during the workshops as it has been planned with less experienced crocheters in mind, but I would be very surprised you didn't learn anything. I know I did when I organized the live event!
The Master Crochet Blanket Series is a collection of workshops and replays based on the Crochet Blanket Summit 2024. If you purchased the All-Access Pass or Superpack at the time, you will already have access to all this content.
If you still have questions, just send us an email at hortense@knittingwithchopsticks.com.
Gain the inspiration, confidence, and skills to dream up & stitch your next crochet blanket project.
