Enjoy a peaceful 45-minute escape with soft music, nature sounds, and gentle stitches.

There’s just something about crocheting outside — the sound of the breeze, the birds, the rhythm of your hands — that melts away stress and fills you right back up again. I always leave feeling grounded and refreshed.

Grab your current WIP and join me in the mountains for a tranquil crochet session – no talking, no tutorials, just soothing crochet stitches.

In this 45-minute video, we’ll sit together in my favorite mountain spot. You’ll hear birdsong and a soft breeze in the trees while calming instrumental music plays. The light shifts through the branches, and before you know it, we’re simply crocheting — side by side, surrounded by color and calm.

Whatever your day has been like, I hope this video will bring you a quiet, peaceful moment in which you can relax and rejuvenate.

Imagine bright blossoms glowing under a night sky: colorful, cozy, and delightfully quick to make with bulky-weight yarn and simple stitches. Whether it’s for a gift, a child’s room, or your own sofa, this project is pure crochet joy.

How This Blanket Is Made

• This charming blanket is made with hexagon motifs worked in simple stitches.

• Motif begins with a large center ring.

• Petals are worked into the ring using a combination of single crochet, chains, and treble crochet stitches.

• Chains and slip stitches are then worked in a contrasting color behind each petal.

• From here a granny stitch hexagon takes shape behind the flower for a layered look.

• Motifs are joined in the final round using a join-as-you-go (JAYGO) technique.
