Samples shown in this photo were crocheted by Angela Kermack, Ashlee, Chantal Lariviere, Divya Tellakula, Heather Passmore, Linda Bakker, and Nonna2Dreja.

Using Beloved A as an example, we can see the differences between the pink mosaic crochet blanket and the purple interlocking crochet blanket.

Beloved Alphabet Blanket Size

These blankets work up to slightly different sizes depending on which technique you use.

The Beloved Alphabet blankets are designed to use worsted weight yarn. You can use a different yarn weight to adjust the finished size.

If you meet gauge, your finished interlocking crochet blanket will be 40” / 102cm square.

Your finished overlay mosaic crochet blanket will be 42” x 45” / 106cm x 114cm NOT including the fringe or the optional envelope border.

“Baby Blanket” Size Explanation

I made a bit of a blunder when marketing the first blanket in this series as a baby blanket. It was meant to be “B” for “Baby” but the size of the blanket is actually larger than my baby blanket section has been defined as.

(I have categorized my patterns based on size; see the full list at ashleeslint.com/patterns).

So you’ll notice that the Beloved Alphabet series is NOT listed in the Baby Blankets section.

New Category: Toddler Blankets

These random blanket size-charts tend to agree that a 40″ blanket is the size for a toddler or they sometimes call it a receiving blanket size.

The wonderful thing about babies is that they grow! So even though these blankets are larger than a traditional ‘baby’ blanket size I still think they’d be perfect for a baby gift.

You can use the last name initial or the first name initial and it’s still something that they can grow with and treasure for years!

List of Available Letters

When I first published Beloved B in May 2023 I wasn’t planning on creating any more letters. The “B” was to stand for “Baby”.

There were so many requests for more letters that I finally relented and said, ‘okay I should probably make more’. But the task was still quite daunting.

As of November 5, 2024 we now have all 26 letters published! That took a long time!

Save on Full Set

By popular request I have created a way for you to save when purchasing multiple letters. See more details below.

“Beloved Alphabet” Options Still to Come

I won’t be doing these in alphabetical order; I’ll try to get the most popular ones done sooner rather than later.

• We did them all now! Woohoo!

Discount on Full Set

When I committed to doing the full alphabet for these toddler blankets I did think about the possibility of a cheaper price for the full collection but I tossed that idea aside when I calculated the price.

I figured no one would be interested in something that expensive and most people will only be making one or maybe two blankets so it’s not worth my effort in creating a bundle.

Yet, over the last few months I’ve been asked numerous times about this!

Although we are halfway through the collection at this point (Jan 2025) I’m now creating a way for you to get a discount (60%!) and it should work retroactively as well!

Ashlee’s Webshop

I have created a listing that will allow you to make a single purchase for the set.

You’ll have access to all 26 letters of the alphabet; each one has two files (one for each technique).

This listing saves you almost 60% versus buying 26 patterns at $7 CAD each (26 x 7 = $182 CAD).

Ravelry

On Ravelry I have created a promotion that will cap the amount you have to pay to purchase all the Beloved Alphabet letters at $75 CAD.

I had hoped to make it more flexible but the only way their system allows me to do it is to include all the Beloved Alphabet patterns in a ‘set’ for a pre-determined price.

Use the code “BASET” to get the Beloved Alphabet SET at an almost 60% discount!

The only way to make the promotion code work is to purchase every letter currently available – you can’t pick and choose your favorites.

It does apply to previous purchases of the Beloved Alphabet blankets though, and after you’ve reached $75 you’ll get the rest of the Beloved Alphabet blankets for free.

Use the following link to add the code & all unpurchased letters to your cart. It will calculate how much you’ve already spent and prevent you from spending more than $75 CAD.

Use this link / code (BASET) for every subsequent purchase of a Beloved Alphabet blanket to get the rest of the letters as I publish them.

Etsy

This platform stumped me on this one.

They have a limit of 5 files per listing. There’s a size limit as well.

I get around the 5 file limit on other eBooks by joining some of the PDFs into one file but the size limit makes this one a bother once again.

Not to mention that they don’t actually allow updates so I’d be manually emailing every subsequent letter to everyone.

Therefore, there is no eBook listing on Etsy for the full set of Beloved Alphabet blankets.

Hugs & Kisses Bundle

I’ve never been able to decide if an X means a kissy face or arms crossed for a hug. And likewise, does the O mean a kissy face or arms surrounding for a hug?

But, regardless of those details, I am publishing “Beloved O” and “Beloved X” at the same time so that I can put them together in a Hugs & Kisses Bundle!

If you’ve already purchased the full set of Beloved Alphabet letters then you won’t need this bundle – there’s nothing extra in it. It’s just these two letters combined into one listing with a discount.

My 10-year-old daughter and I came up with a few additional bundles she thinks I should create: BABY, OMG, LOL, LOVE, ABC. But, as creative and fun as those are, I’ll just leave it at the full set or this little Hugs & Kisses bundle.

Discount Details

No matter which platform you use, the Hugs & Kisses Bundle saves you 30% versus purchased “Beloved O” and “Beloved X” separately.

Until July 29, 2025 you’ll receive an additional 30% discount on this bundle which amounts to a total savings of 50%!

On Ashlee’s webshop, it shows you the regular price and then the sale price (50% discount until July 29).

On Ravelry, when you add these two letters to your cart you’ll see the automatic 50% discount (which will change to 30% after July 29).

On Etsy, the listing’s ‘regular’ price is the first 30% discount and then there’s an additional 30% promotion that gets applied automatically.
