Yes, that's right! This will be the last pattern published in 2025. This year has just flown by! Every year I crochet blankets that I donate to Veterans for Christmas. I thought this yarn was a good "manly" color :) Sometimes self striping yarn does make it hard to see the stitches so this blanket has a lot of texture. The pattern will be 20% off for 4 days only! No coupon code needed, just add the pattern to your cart and the price will be adjusted. You can find it here

It's that time of year again! I have decided to make 2026 easier for everyone. In the past people could use a coupon code each month for a free pattern, but people would forget. For 2026 anyone joining the club will get all the patterns that I publish added to their Ravelry libraries. I thought it would be 20 - 24, but it will be closer to 30 lol. If you are interested in joining the pattern club please email me ( canoemtndesigns@gmail.com ) Here are some of the pattern colle

As you know I was part of the Global Crochet Collaboration this year. You can find out all about it & find lots of free patterns on the BLOG POST . I decided it would be fun to find out what each designers best selling pattern was for the year. Sometimes when we check to see which pattern that is it's easy to tell. Sometimes there are a few patterns in the running. There is a very nice variety of patterns below! Below are photos of each pattern, just click on the photo to see

Do you have yarn scraps taking up space? I had so many!! Even though I give many of my scraps to some ladies in town who can't afford to buy yarn, I still always seem to have more lol. We had a lot of fun making the banket in the Crochet-A-Longs with Canoe Mtn Designs FB group :) The people who crocheted the blanket will be adding their projects to the pattern listing on Ravelry. You can find the pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/all-the-scraps-lapgha

Every year I donate boxes of scarves & cowls to different charities. It's cold up here in Canada in the winter lol. These are a matching set. I was using some left over yarn I happened to have. I quite like stripes or block colors for scarves and cowls. The patterns are an easy round/row repeat and easily adjusted to any size. You can find the pattern set on Ravelry for $3. If you happen to make one of the patterns I would love it if you added a project to Ravelry linked to

A new pattern! A few years ago I purchased some Paintbox Yarns Chunky Pots in 2 colors. It was labelled as #5 weight yarn, but it's more like a #4. Online the colors looked lovely and one of them turned out great. Not very happy with this color. I thought it would be long color changes but it's more variegated. Hard to design a pattern with short color changes. The yarn it's self is lovely and easy to work with. Click on the photo below to go to the pattern on Ravelry. The p

All The Scraps Blanket CAL. Follow along as I design a scrap stitch sampler blanket. Create a blanket CAL in "real time". HOW IT WILL WORK: 1 - Gather all of your scrap yarn that is the same weight. I am using a few different brands that are all the same thickness. Not every worsted weight yarn or even color is the same. If the yarns are very close, it will work with this pattern. 2 - The blanket will be created in long rows, I will be fastening off each color leaving a tail

Do you crochet for charities and donating? I do a lot! Just sent 5 boxes of scarves, cowls, beanies and lap blanket to 2 different organizations. These are my favorite patterns to do, quick and easy! You can crochet them in any weight yarn, and any size hook. The patterns are so easy you can watch tv while crocheting :) For the month of October all the patterns above are only $2! Yes, $2 for the beanie, cowls and scarf pattern. You can find them on Ravelry. No coupon code n
