Hello, my sweet! As promised, here is Clue #3 for our Mystery Crochet Along (MCAL)! Keep reading 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 with loved ones in front of a crackling fire.”
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 on our Luster Worsted base.
For March, the warm color is Red Flame, and the cool color is In the Cabana. 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.
Each 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.
We filmed a quick video overview about the Mystery Crochet Along thus far, as well as how Clue #3 fits into the overall blanket design. Take a look:
We will also be having a yearlong contest with prizes for this pattern! It will be hosted solely on Ravelry.

I’m doing the MCAL and I don’t know how to start the third part of the pattern. I’m having difficulty joining the two sides and confused if I should be repeating R16 and R17 before I start R28. Is there someone I can watch since There was no video showing me how this was done. Thanks!
