Hello, my little buttercup! As promised, here is Clue #2 for our Mystery Crochet Along (MCAL)! Read on to learn more, and find out how you can join in on the fun!
Hearthside was designed by Jane Vanselous. She says, “I have long admired quilters and their dedication to their craft. The many hours required to choose just the right fabrics, hand cut the various pieces, assemble them precisely, and then work the countless, little stitches to finish it all off truly amazes me. What a testament of love for what they do, as well as for the lucky recipient of their art!
The design of this blanket is loosely based on a well-known quilt pattern. By breaking it down into 12 manageable sections, you will be able to create your own treasure. Use the warm color palette chosen for this Mystery CAL to invoke visions of curling up hearthside in front of a crackling fire with loved ones.
This pattern is an Adventurous Beginner level pattern and is for those crocheters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations.
Hearthside is made with 12 skeins of our Enduring Worsted yarn. We will have two recommended color options each month – a cool color and a warm color. As a treat, we will also have these same colors our Luster Worsted base.
-
- Monarch Luster Worsted
-
- Monarch Enduring Worsted
For February, the warm color is Monarch, and the cool color is Nightlife. However, you can crochet your blanket with any colors you choose. Please note, swatching is important to ensure that your blanket edges are even and that you have enough yardage to complete your monthly section, as you should only need one skein per clue.

- Nightlife Luster Worsted
Every month, we will release a new clue for the pattern, so all you have to do is sign in and re-download the pattern each month once a new clue has been released.

Hi Chandi,
The written instructions for R18 is does not match the diagram. The part where you have repeat 9 times *ch1, dc in next dc, dc in ch-sp, (ch3, sk next [dc, ch-sp, dc], dc in next 3 dc). In the written instruction sk next [dc, ch-sp, dc], dc in next 3 dc while in the diagram, sk next [3 dc] , dc in [dc, ch-sp, dc]. Now i’m confused because the next rows does not match.
In the video, you follow the diagram. I will like to suggest that on the next video you should show us how to connect the next clue from the previous clues.
Thanks.
The chart in clue 2 was updated after it was initially published due to the error you’ve mentioned. Please download the corrected pattern at https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/hearthside-mcal-blanket.html.
Thanks Monica.. i must have missed the update when it got published. I just got my yarns that’s why i am just starting now.
You’re welcome. It was a minor discrepancy between the written instructions and the pattern, so we didn’t do a major post about it. I hope you enjoy making it.
i would have not noticed it if the corner portion was included on the diagram. i have to go back and forth from the written to the diagram. Anyway, everything is ok now. i finished clue #2. i am waiting now for the yarn for clue #3. thanks again.
