A common request from several people inspired the Crochet Snow Days and Hot Chocolate Blanket. A blanket represents winter that incorporates snowflakes and texture. A blanket that doesn’t need to be put away after Christmas can go throughout the entire season.
While any of us can apply meaning to a project, I am leaving it to crocheters to apply the meaning they most prefer. This is projected to be released as a stitch along in November 2022. We are still working out the details and filming schedule. It’s tentative to be on Yarnspirations.com as a free pattern.
For the yarn of choice, I picked out the three colours I wanted to use without the intention of a sock monkey or work socks. Once I saw it as that colouring, I felt it was more meaningful.
Preview of the Snow Days and Hot Chocolate Blanket
It got me thinking about the Crochet Mighty Ridge Afghan. Recently, we had a power out for several hours in August 2022. I was thinking about this person sitting by the fire wearing this blanket. I tend to go nuts when the power goes out, but the instinct to bunker down and keep busy without using too much cellular power is the key.
Though you cannot see it in this photo, this person is wearing work socks of the iconic grey, red and white, holding what I think is a cup of hot chocolate.
My Mission Became
Create a blanket that is one to keep the chill off as you wait for a few hours as the power is out. A feeling of the winter colouring with snowflakes. Textural interest and ease of crochet.
A friend of mine, Ann, came to me during the design with a stitch combination that I hadn’t seen before. We worked together to get her stitch work out in a square format. Our stitch-along blanket is done but then I wondered about her combination in a stand-alone baby blanket format. It got me thinking that this could be for next year, 2023. Yarn, you see 1 ball of Caron Jumbo in Lake Mis,t and the second ball on the picture is Caron Jumbo White Water. The two ball would be able to make a baby blanket. I’m still working out the kinks. The bobbles aren’t sitting in this example very well, and I think I need to review that section again.
This pattern isn’t ready to come out.

This is what I sent to Yarnspirations about the written pattern. I hope it makes sense and that it helps others who are working through this beautiful project! I’m loving it so far.
This is in reference to the 2nd round of the border on p. 8 (week 3). The bracket on the second line needs to go before the chain 1. The chain 1 has to be done after the corner for each side, not just the first side.
Also, the stitch counts for this round don’t make sense. The total is 103, BUT the description is confusing. It should be 66 total ch (you are counting individual chains, not ch sp) + 33 dc3tog + 4 dc = 103. This sets up for doing the 105 sc in the next round (103 into the existing stitches plus 2 sc in each corner).
I’m working through your comment. If you have already messaged them. I have to remessage as I am in charge of the editing.
1 – You are correct on the 2nd Rnd.
2 – There was an error in Frame Rnd of the stitch counts that I caught on Monday. I have to update them as well. Says 95 HDC between corners. Should state 95 STS.
3 – I have to check on your stitch counts yet for the 2nd row of 103 sts. I’ll follow up. I am doing an edit on the PDF to resubmit back to Yarnspirations for corrections.
I counted
There are 33 dc3tog. = 33 dc3tog
There are 32 ch-2 sps = 64 chains
There are 2 ch-2 sps = 2 chains
There are 4 dc = 4 dc.
33 + 64 + 2 + 4 = 103 sts between the corners.
You are right my statement is incorrect but it’s still only 103 sts between the corners. I will submit for corrections.
Thanks so much for this complete pattern. I am at the end of week 2 and loving it. It’s going nice and quick.
I have been waiting for a “Snow Days” blanket to make before December. This is perfect. Thank you for doing this as a Stitch Along.
So excited to start this, and I already have yarn in my stash that I can use!
Is this in Ravelry yet? I couldn’t find it. Thank you, Mikey, and the Crochet Crowd team!
No, it is not on Raverly yet. Will make a reminder for myself to ask he adds it when he is able to
Gorgeous Blanket! Looking forward to the pattern release.
I would like the pattern for Hot Chocolate stitch along. I don’t have time to watch the. Stitch Along so would just like the pattern.
The full pattern will be available after the stitch along is complete. It will stay free and still be available when it is finished. You can download each week’s pattern if you wish as it progresses.
I was thinking about a name, and came up with this …. Snowflake Winter Ridge Study
What would you called your #Winter Blanket that is coming out in November 22.
Here is a suggestion for the Name. Festive Snowflake’s .
Since you don’t have to put it away after the Holiday Season, because it
snow’s in the Winter Months.
I personally would leave it out all Year Long.
He settled on the name “Snow Days and Hot Chocolate “. Will be the perfect cuddle blanket next to a fire with a tasty cup of hot chocolate
