Patch Blanket Crochet Kits
The Patch Blanket crochet kits are your year of creative happiness. Time to relax and enjoy crocheting, appreciate the colours and do something just for you.
your monthly crochet happiness
It’s easy to get caught in the busy-ness of our lives and our self-care goes out the window. Your Patch Blanket subscription is 13 months of creative happiness. Time to relax and enjoy crocheting, appreciate the colourful, woolly yarn and do something just for you.
video tutorials and zoom sessions make it easy for you to crochet
In addition to the premium merino wool yarn, a colour-coordinated tea and a new part of the crochet pattern each month, your Patch Blanket kit comes with detailed video tutorials (left and right handed) where I show you how to make your blanket from start to finish.
There’s a Zoom Catch-Up each month to crochet, chat and get help and if you’re new to crocheting, there’s “learning to crochet” zooms during July, August and September.
how it works
- each month you’ll get yarny parcel with a new colour of yarn for you to crochet with that month as well as a colour coordinated tea (will be on the way to you by 7th day of each month)
- a new part of the crochet pattern and online course will be unlocked at the start of each month
- come along to the monthly Patch Blanket zoom catch-up to get help and enjoy crocheting with others (will be during the last week of the month, with the day and time to be the most popular for everyone making the Patch Blankets)
- during July, August and September there will be extra “learning to crochet” lessons
- share your photos and ask for help in the Patch Blanket facebook group

about the yarn
Homelea Bliss is a super chunky yarn that’s about 1cm (0.4in) thick. It’s 100% processed in Australia (it’s rare for Australian made yarns to not be partially processed overseas) from premium Australian grown merino wool.
made in Australia
I design and make all of the Homelea Lass kits by hand in the Homelea Lass studio. It’s located on a remote cattle property near Quilpie in south west Queensland, Australia. I use Australian made components whenever possible.
colours
Each of the Patch Blankets is made with 13 different colours of Homelea Bliss (one colour per month) – natural, oatmeal, minna pink, rhubarb, mushroom, indigo blue, steele blue, grey, mint green, spring green, olive, cumin and charcoal grey.
You’re going to love making a new part of your Patch Blanket each month.
With love, Lynda.

I'm a beginner (I've never crocheted before) - will I be able to make a Patch Blanket?
Yes, the Happy Patch Blanket is designed specifically for learning to crochet. In addition to your crochet kit subscription, you’ll need a 15.75mm crochet hook, scissors, stitch markers and tape measure.
There are “learning to crochet” zoom sessions in July, August and September.
-
Can I subscribe to more than one Patch Blanket?
Yes you can. To learn the most I’d recommend making the Layered Patch Blanket along with either the Happy Patch Blanket or Folded Patch Blanket.
-
Can I change the colours ie do the Folded Patch Blanket with a natural join?
Yes you can. Let me know what you’d like to do in the order notes at the checkout, and I’ll confirm the changes to your kit via email.
-
Can I use my Maker / VIP Member discount code?
Yes you can.
-
When will the "early bird offer" end?
It will be available to the end of June 2023.
-
What's the latest I can get a Patch Blanket Crochet Kit Subscription?
The end of July 2023.
-
I'd like to make a Patch Blanket in the crochet-a-long but I don't want a kit. Can I do this?
Yes you can do this by getting a Maker or VIP membership here.
-
How can I get a Maker / VIP Membership to get a discount or get access to the patterns?
Pop over here. Get your membership first, and then you’ll have access to the discount code to use with your Patch Blanket Crochet Kit subscription.
-

-
When will I receive my yarn each month?
Your yarn delivery will be sent by 7th day of each month. Depending on where you’re located relative to my studio near Quilpie, QLD will determine when it will arrive (I’m thinking that it should be with you within 2 weeks if you’re in Australia and possibly longer if you’re outside Australia).

They will happen when you order your subscription for the first month, and then for the 2nd to 13th months the payments will happen on the 1st day of the month. You have the option to do your payment automatically or manually.

No, the monthly payment will be the same each month.

Will the crochet pattern or full kits be available separately (not in a subscription)?
Homelea Lass Maker & VIP Members will be able to access the crochet pattern and online course as it’s released each month. Get your membership here.
Once the Patch Blankets are finished in August 2024 I will release the crochet pattern separately.
I may release the full kits at the end of 2024 but I’m not sure at this stage.

Love it. Great way to learn.

I’m loving the Happy Patch Blanket kit subscription using super chunky Australian wool yarn, The kit combined with my maker membership and Lynda’s excellent teaching style makes crocheting the blanket achievable and my patch looks great. I can’t wait to start the oatmeal patch. Linda packs the kits beautifully. I adjusted my subscription to get my next colour sooner as I finished my first patch ahead of time. Great product, many thanks Lynda!
