Happy 2019 everyone!
When I was trying to plan my designs for January I wanted to put out something that would set my intentions for the year. Good Vibes! It’s corny, I fully admit that, but also it’s not bad. Right? It’s not hurting anyone to hope for some good vibes in 2019. For me, 2018 was hard in so many ways and I’m so glad to have made it out the other side. I want to make 2019 better! What about you?
With it being a new year, I don’t have much to talk about yet. I’m just going to try my best this year and top last year. I wish you good vibes and success in 2019 too!
So this design, like many of my pillows or bags, can be both! It’s simple enough to follow the Be Nice Bag securing (leave one of the sides unworked and add a strap). Or, if you’re feeling cheeky, you can make this into an afghan by making a few of the Front pieces and sewing them together to make nice blanket. I’d love to see that, to be honest. Especially if you made them in different color combinations! It’d be so fun, right?
Anyway, I do hope you like this pattern and share your photos on IG <3 <3

Notes
- This pattern is work in 3 parts, the Front, the Back, and the Securing.
- The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
- You’re going to need to know how to create a slipknot on your hook for this pattern.
- All of the stitches in this pattern are single crochets. The directions for the Front and Back will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses will tell you how many single crochets to make.
- The yarn wasn’t carried across the tapestry sections, instead the use of bobbins like they did on Hodgepodge Crochet is suggested for this pattern.
- For the Front Piece: color A is forest green (Caron One Pound in Forest Green) and color B is off-white (Caron One Pound in Off-White), and color C is pink (Caron One Pound in Dark Pink).

(RS) Rows 2 – 64: Ch 1, turn, sc into the next 66 sts – 66 sc
Fasten off, weave in your ends.
– Securing –
Lay the wrong side of both of your piece against each other so that the corners line up and begin in the bottom left-hand corner. You will be working into both pieces. Create a slipknot on your hook with color B.
Rnd 1: B: Sc into the next 66 sts, ch-1 space at the corner, rotate your whole piece, Sc into the next 64 row ends, ch-1 space at the corner, rotate your whole piece, Sc into the next 66 sts, ch-1 space at the corner, rotate your whole piece, (make sure to fill your pillow before completely securing) Sc into the next 64 row, ch-1 space at the corner, rotate your whole piece, slip st into the first st – 260 sc, 4 ch-1 spaces
Fasten off, weave in your ends.
Tada! There is my first design of 2019. I hope you love it <3
