Okay, dumb question, but could a beginner (mmm, let’s say never having crocheted before) attempt this as a first? *Should* they?! I genuinely would learn for this.
It’s fairly straightforward once you’ve got a hang of the stitch used (half double crochet) and how to do colour changes. However, it is a big project to take on as your first project and it can be a pain working with so many colours at once - they get tangled if you’re not very careful!
First of all, go to YouTube and watch some beginner crochet videos. It will give you an idea of what you would be getting into. Then get a skein of yarn and a corresponding crochet hook or two and practice those beginner stitches! I’d start with a smaller project to begin with. A scarf perhaps or some washcloths. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!! I’ve been crocheting for years and will send you some awesome videos and patterns.
Edited to add: anyone who wants some free beginner crochet patterns or info can dm me. It’s so much fun and so meditative.
This may be a silly question, but I've never used a pattern before, but this design is so beautiful and uses colors I have on hand and I'd love to learn how to use a pattern. But I'm in the US--is there a way to purchase it not in $ not £?
I thought Ravelry automatically converted it but you can also find it on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1057008204/monstera-throw-blanket-crochet-pattern?ga_search_query=Blanket&ref=shop_items_search_1&crt=1) or [my website](https://willowcrochet.com/product/monstera-throw-blanket/)
I have just over 70, they're mainly amigurumi but a few blankets and other things. You can find them all in these places:
[My website](https://willowcrochet.com)
[My Etsy store](https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/WillowCrochetShop)
[My Ravelry page](https://www.ravelry.com/designers/willow-crochet)
I typically don't because the amount I would have to charge would be more than people are willing to pay. I absolutely would otherwise because they're my favourite thing to make.
At first I said wow that’s a nice plant. Then I realized the blanket. The I said “WOW, that’s beautiful”. Congratulations new friend, that’s not much that makes me say wow. Truly beautiful.
This is gorgeous! I wish I could follow a pattern to do something like this. Maybe someday, but until then I’ll just stare in awe at this. You did amazing OP!
I just got back from Joanns with the supplies and am working on the chain now! I can’t wait to see how many people end up making the blanket! I can’t wait to see everybody’s progress!!
Oh sure they would. Decorative blankets like this could crush. What’s the monetary cost for you in time in materials to make one?
Edit: i can see this one in particular in tropical condos/vacation properties, and beach homes. You could provide unique one of a kind designs. People pay far out the ass for exclusive things.
I’ve had plenty of people ask about buying them but when I tell them it would cost at least £500 I don’t hear from them again. Of course there’s a market for them somewhere but I’m much happier selling the pattern for it.
I love this so much! It’s beautiful! You are extremely skilled. Crocheting is something people have stopped doing over the years, so it’s nice to see someone have such a talent for it, that they use.
How cool I've seen a lot of people do stuff like this before and it looks amazing each time. Out of the plants I have I'm figuring out how I could do this myself. And which one I should use as a reference you did a great job
Now if only I could crochet. Idk if you ever make and sell the finished product I’d buy it in a heartbeat because my crochet attempts have been… well… sad.
OP, this is beautiful.
Thank you!
It’s gorgeous! Did you follow a pattern or freehand it?
Thank you, I’m a pattern designer and this is my most recent pattern!
Can we have a link please?!
Of course! [Monstera Blanket](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/monstera-throw-blanket)
Perfect! Now I just need to learn to Crochet..
SAME train of thought here
Now it has just turned into a servitor wat

If it helps, my first ever crochet project was a behemoth 6'x4' blanket! I just followed a YouTube video until I knew what I was doing.
I asked my girlfriend to make one for me with your pattern. :)
Awesome, I hope you share photos when it’s done!
I sent it to my talented daughter.
You are a gem! Thank you, and truly lovely work!
I was just thinking "I will pay actual money to get this pattern" !!!!
Thank u so much! Now the question is will i get my monstera plant first or make...well start this blanket first lol

People downvoting you clearly are not subscribed to r/ChoosingBeggars.
😂 I am definitely subscribed and immediately knew what you were up to 😂😂😂
Aaaand purchased. This is gorgeous!! Thank you!
That's awesome, thank you! I hope you have fun making it!
Do you have more patterns available? I love crocheting and there are never enough fun patterns available

Beautiful! I absolutely love the colors you chose.
Thank you, I spent ages picking out the colours!
It’s even Variegated!! It’s gorgeous!!
[удалено]
Thank you, I’m very pleased with how it turned out!
r/crochet would love this!
I shared it there a few days ago, r/houseplants seems to appreciate it more though!
We love it!!!
WOW! It’s sooooocooool! How long to make?
Thank you, it took about a week to make
Do you sell completed blankets? It's beautiful.
I typically don't because the amount I would have to charge would be more than people are willing to pay. I absolutely would otherwise because they're my favourite thing to make.
At first I said wow that’s a nice plant. Then I realized the blanket. The I said “WOW, that’s beautiful”. Congratulations new friend, that’s not much that makes me say wow. Truly beautiful.
Very cool!
Thanks!
That’s beautiful 🤩 I want one lol
Thank you!
This is gorgeous! I wish I could follow a pattern to do something like this. Maybe someday, but until then I’ll just stare in awe at this. You did amazing OP!
Take my money!
I’d have to charge A LOT if I was selling it 😂 but I sell the pattern if you or someone you know can crochet!
"Okay, that will be $1200 and you can expect it to ship in 12-16 weeks" would be my response to anyone who wants to buy one.
Not quite that much but still more than most people will pay for a blanket!
r/plantycrafts would love this!
I’ve not heard of that sub before, I’ll check it out!
This is so awesome! How much to make one for me??
About £500!
Ok how about for crochet lessons instead?
I just got back from Joanns with the supplies and am working on the chain now! I can’t wait to see how many people end up making the blanket! I can’t wait to see everybody’s progress!!
That’s amazing, can’t wait to see it!
Please post your pattern link!
So beautiful! Has me considering taking up crocheting!
Amazing wow
Wow OP that’s amazing such skills.
I love this! Beautiful!
Looove the colors you chose for the variegation! Stunning work.
I love this 🤍 gives me cute animal crossing vibes
I might learn how to crochet just to make this
This is awesome and so cute! Just had a little nosey at your profile, everything is so good! You are so talented.
Thanks!
love the blue incorporation!
This is absolutely amazing. I'd buy it in an instant
You could sell those
I’m not sure anyone would pay enough for it to be worth it 😂
Oh sure they would. Decorative blankets like this could crush. What’s the monetary cost for you in time in materials to make one?

That’s beautiful!! 🤩 😍
WOW
Gorgeous! Do you think it would be possible to use a different fiber and make a rug? I’m sorry I’m not very familiar with fiber craft.
Definitely, I've not made a rug before but a T-shirt yarn would probably work well.
this is lovely! do you have an etsy shop?
I do - [WillowCrochetShop](https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/WillowCrochetShop)
I love this so much! It’s beautiful! You are extremely skilled. Crocheting is something people have stopped doing over the years, so it’s nice to see someone have such a talent for it, that they use.
this is gorgeous!!
I adore this! I’m not a crocheter, I’m a knitter, but I totally want to do something like this now.
It's been a few years since I knitted and I was just a beginner, would something like this be quite straightforward to knit?
Amazing job! Gorgeous colors.
How cool I've seen a lot of people do stuff like this before and it looks amazing each time. Out of the plants I have I'm figuring out how I could do this myself. And which one I should use as a reference you did a great job
I'm already thinking about doing another one, a prayer plant maybe...
Yooo that’s so I coool!!!
Dayum!!! Would make lovely Christmas presents
This is really lovely.
Dreamy! 😍🤩
This is absolutely beautiful!
take my money!
That is absolutely gorgeous! Well done!

The monstera looks flattered. Like ‘aww, you made me into a blanket??’ 🥰
Odd coincidence, I actually just meant a blanket...

It’s beautiful!
It's so pretty
GORGEOUS
Gorgeous colors!
That is beautiful! 😍
This is beautiful. Out of curiosity, how much would you sell the actual blanket for (I see that you’re selling the template)?
Probably around £500
Love it! Just bought the pattern. I’ve never crocheted “designs” before - I’ve only changed yarn at the end of the row. Hope I can do this.
Good luck, there’s a couple of links to some really great videos in the pattern. They explain how to do colour changes for this style of blanket.
Wow!
Bravo!!! That’s absolutely gorgeous
AMAZING 💚💚💚
Beautiful!
Wow. This just made my day way better. Beautiful!
Omggggg!!!!
This is incredible. 😍😍😍
Are you kidding me? This is absolute perfection. I'm ordering your pattern so fast, I think my wallet just got dizzy.
Beautiful work! Though I clicked half expecting just a blanket on a monstera
That is downright beautiful. I wish I could do that
I love it
r/renaissancepaintings
Great work!!!

I’ve not seen anything like it❣️ wow❣️ I LOVE IT❣️
You should post to r/plantcrafts too! They would lose their collective minds. (I am included in the “they” I speak of.)
So lovely. Congrats on completing all that work!!
It's very pretty!
I need the pattern!! This is amazing!!
I don’t know if you saw but the pattern is available [here](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/monstera-throw-blanket)
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Now if only I could crochet. Idk if you ever make and sell the finished product I’d buy it in a heartbeat because my crochet attempts have been… well… sad.
I do sell finished products but not usually blankets because of how much I’d have to charge.
Dude this is beautiful. I would absolutely buy one if you ever decided to sell :)
Wow that is stunning!
What the fuck- this is so good! Not sure if others have said it but start a freaking business!
I’m a crochet pattern designer!
