Camp Pocket Pillow

Sew a travel reading pillow perfect for camping from a wide selection of novelty fabrics -- great for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts! | The Inspired Wren

The Peanut’s Camp Pocket Pillow, sewn in the Spring of 2018, has made its way onto her bed permanently. I think it’s safe to say my girl scout is sorely missing her scouting activities during this time of stay-at-home physical distancing.

Crochet Pattern: Chunky Doll Blanket

Quickly hook up a cozy doll blanket with this simple, contemporary crochet pattern.


After completing the Chunky Library-Book Lapghan, I had a large sample swatch plus a few skeins of yarn left over...the beginning and finishing of a doll-sized version of the same blanket. So I made one up for The Peanut. Then I remembered my mama-to-all-dolls niece was about to turn two, so I pulled the softest yarn off the store shelf and made another one just for her. You can, too.
