Seasonal – crochet happiness
From: $87.00 / month for 9 months
Missed out on joining Seasonal? Snap up one of the extra kits now and enjoy crocheting a colourful blanket, month by month.
It's the perfect holiday project - dive in and crochet the first 5 colours now, and then easily crochet a new colour each month until August 2025.
It’s easy to get caught in the turmoil and busy-ness of life and our self-care goes out the window.
Seasonal is time to slow down and relax.
It feels good to crochet a blanket month by month, sitting down with a cuppa and stitching a new colour. It’s achievable, satisfying and something to look forward to each month.
For crochet kit subscriptions, enjoy opening a Seasonal Box of Crochet Happiness each month, with the yarn needed to crochet the month’s colour as well as a colour coordinated tea. It’s a joy to crochet with the soft Australian Merino Wool yarn.
Designed for crocheters of all levels – absolute beginners that have never crocheted before through to advanced.
Just a note: at the checkout the sign up fee and first month’s subscription is for the first 5 colours, and the monthly renewal is for receiving a new colour each month until August 2025.
about the blankets
- Happy Patch Blanket: beginner project suitable for learning to crochet, the patches are crocheted individually and joined at the end. It’s a snuggle on the lounge size (1.15m x 1.2m).
- Layered Patch Blanket: easy crochet project with different stitches and techniques to the Happy Patch Blanket, it’s crocheted all in one with no joining of patches required. If you’ve done some crocheting before you’ll be able to make it by following the video tutorials. It’s a cover my lap and legs size (1.35m x 0.9m).
easy to crochet with video tutorials and zoom meet-ups
Included is lifetime access to both blanket crochet patterns with detailed video tutorials, and both can be made with 2 different yarn sizes. Both patterns includes detailed video tutorials (left and right handed) that show how to make the blanket from start to finish.
There’s Monthly Meet-Ups on zoom to crochet, chat and get help. They happen on the last Sunday of the month at 12noon (Brisbane time).
Help is available any time in the Seasonal online community.

If I want to make 2 blankets do I need 2 pattern subscriptions?
Each pattern and kit subscription includes lifetime access to both the Happy Patch Blanket and Layered Patch Blanket patterns, in both the Homelea Happy 10ply and Homelea Bliss super chunky yarn sizes.
-
If I get a kit subscription do I need to get a pattern subscription as well?
The kit subscription includes lifetime access to the patterns, so you only need the kit or pattern subscription.
-
I'm a beginner (I've never crocheted before) - will I be able to crochet a blanket?
Yes, the Happy Patch Blanket is designed specifically for learning to crochet. There’s lots of helpful hints for new crocheters, and the detailed video tutorials show exactly what to do. There’s in person help in the “learning to crochet” zoom sessions in August, September and October, and help is available any time in the exclusive online group.
Homelea Bliss super chunky yarn is easier and quicker to crochet with because of how big it is.
-
Can I subscribe to more than one kit?
Yes you can. To learn the most I’d recommend making both the Layered Patch Blanket and the Happy Patch Blanket.

The first month is August 2024 and the last month is August 2025.

Yes, there are left and right handed video tutorials that show how to make the blanket from start to finish.

I'd like to know more about the yarns?
Both Homelea Lass yarns are made from the same soft merino wool that’s 100% Australian grown and made, with no offshore processing and no acrylic / nylon / synthetics / superwash. Looking after the world we live in is important.
- Homelea Bliss super chunky yarn: the big size makes it the quickest and easiest to crochet with, it’s about 1cm (o.4in) thick. Use a 15.75mm crochet hook with it and each patch uses 300g of yarn.
- Homelea Happy 10ply / worsted yarn: soft and textural, this yarn is an absolute joy to crochet with. Depending on the pattern, use a 5mm or 6mm crochet hook with it. Each patch uses 100g of yarn.
-
When will I receive my yarn each month?
Your yarn delivery will be sent by 10th 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).
-
How much yarn will I receive in a kit?
For the Homelea Bliss super chunky kits:
- the Layered Patch Blanket is 1 x 300g ball each month for 13 months
- the Happy Patch Blanket is 1 x 300g ball each month for 12 months, and 2 x 300g balls for the last month
There is no joining yarns within the colours for the Homelea Bliss super chunky kits, and we reduce waste by sending the yarn with one tag per colour dye lot.
For the Homelea Happy 10ply kits:
- the Layered Patch Blanket is 2 x 50g balls each month for 13 months
- the Happy Patch Blanket is 2 x 50g balls each month for 12 months, and 3 x 50g balls for the last month to join the patches together
A new ball does need to be joined / added in each colour for the Homelea Happy 10ply blankets, and we reduce waste by sending the yarn with one tag per colour dye lot.
-
What are the colours?
Each of the Seasonal blankets is made with either 12 or 13 different Homelea Lass colours (one colour per month) – indigo blue, ocean blue, mint green, spring green, olive green, daisy yellow, cosy coral, sunny peach, minna pink, pinkie pink, vintage purple, amethyst purple and for the Happy Patch Blanket, the patches are joined with natural undyed.
-
I have a pattern (BYO yarn) subscription, how do I know what yarn I need?
Depending on the yarn size:
- 10ply / worsted weight: 12 colours x 220m (240yds) + 1 colour x 330m (360yds)
- super chunky yarn that is about 1cm (0.4in) thick: 12 colours x 65m (71yds) + 1 colour x 130m (142yds) of a yarn that is about 1cm (0.4in) thick
Find more detailed information about the amount of yarn needed for the Happy Patch Blanket here and the Layered Patch Blanket here
-
When will the renewal payments happen?
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.
-
Will I receive a reminder before my payment happens?
Yes, you’ll receive an email 2 days before.
-
Do I need to pay for shipping?
Within Australia, shipping is free for orders over $50, and for orders under $50 it is $5 for shipping.
For Maker and VIP Members, shipping is free on all orders.
-
I'd like to make the blanket with different colours using Homelea Happy 10ply but the colours are sold out at present. Will more be available?
Homelea Happy 10ply has been more popular than I expected and has been selling out. The good news is that there is more yarn arriving all the time.
Homelea Lass Members get advanced notice of what yarn is arriving and can pre-order it.
-
Can I use my Maker / VIP Member discount code?
Absolutely! It will give you a discount and free shipping each month on the kit subscriptions – 10% for Maker memberships and 25% for VIP memberships.
Maker and VIP members have a special code that gives them the pattern subscription for free.
