Psychedelic Spiral Blanket

Crocheted with 100% cotton

Sugar ’n Cream: Psychedelic, Black & Overcast Twists

Knot your average blanket - bold, cozy, and full of twisty vibes!

#Crochet #CrochetBlanket #SpiralCrochet #FiberArts #Handmade #Cotton #CottonCrochet #YarnArt
A large round crochet blanket is laid flat on the floor, filling most of the frame. The design is worked in concentric rings spiraling outward from the center. The blanket alternates between solid black rows and rows of Sugar ’n Cream’s Psychedelic yarn, a variegated cotton that shifts through bright green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue. These psychedelic rows form stacked vertical stitches with a knit-like texture that stand out against the black, giving the blanket depth and dimension. The effect is a bold spiral of color framed by crisp black rows, creating a striking optical pattern that draws the eye outward. Around the edge, the blanket is finished with a border: first a round in Overcast Twists yarn, blending black and gray into a marled effect, followed by a final row in solid black for a clean frame. Made entirely from 100% cotton yarn, the piece has a sturdy yet soft structure. The combination of black framing rows and vivid psychedelic colors creates the impression of motion radiating outward, with the knit-like stitches adding a tactile, textured surface. A close-up photograph shows the edge and surface of a large round crochet blanket viewed from a low angle, almost at floor level, so that the stitches rise in stacked rows receding into the distance. The blanket is worked in concentric rounds, alternating between rows of solid black cotton and rows of Sugar ’n Cream’s Psychedelic yarn, a variegated cotton shifting through bright neon tones of green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue. The psychedelic yarn is crocheted into tall, vertical stitches that stand up prominently from the base rows, giving the surface a ridged, almost architectural quality. In this angled view, those raised stitches form rippling ridges that spiral outward, each row of color stacked on the next, creating a striking sense of depth and texture. The bottom edge of the blanket is clearly visible in the foreground. It is finished with a border: first a round worked in Overcast Twists yarn, a marled black-and-gray cotton that blends the tones together in a subtle heathered effect, followed by a final round in solid black that frames the entire piece with a clean edge. The low perspective emphasizes the structure of the crochet, making the colorful stitches appear almost three-dimensional, as though they are ridges or waves radiating outward. The interplay of stark black rows with vivid, shifting rainbow tones creates the impression of motion spiraling across the surface, while the tightly worked cotton yarn gives the blanket a sturdy yet soft texture. The composition of the photograph highlights both the tactile quality of the crochet and the bold optical pattern of the colors, drawing the viewer’s eye along the ridges into the center. A close-up, angled view of a large round crochet blanket laid flat on the floor. The perspective emphasizes the knit-like texture of the stitches, showing the raised rows in detail. The blanket is worked in concentric spirals, alternating between solid black rows and rows of Sugar ’n Cream’s Psychedelic yarn, which transitions through vivid shades of green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue. The psychedelic stitches stand tall against the black, creating stacked vertical lines that resemble knit ribbing. Toward the edge, a marled round in Overcast Twists yarn (black and gray blended together) adds contrast, followed by a solid black border that neatly finishes the piece. The angle of the photo highlights the three-dimensional depth of the stitches and the optical spiral effect created by the repeating black-and-psychedelic rows. A large round crochet blanket photographed from directly above, showing the full circular shape. The blanket is worked in spiraling concentric rows, alternating solid black with Sugar ’n Cream’s Psychedelic yarn, which moves through bright shades of green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue. The colorful stitches are tall and vertical with a knit-like texture, standing out against the black rounds and forming a repeating stacked pattern. The overall effect creates a vivid psychedelic spiral radiating outward from the center in evenly spaced rings. The edge is finished with a round in Overcast Twists yarn, a marled blend of gray and black, and a final border of solid black that frames the circle cleanly. From this top view, the symmetry of the spiral and the balance between the bold black and shifting psychedelic colors are especially clear, highlighting the optical illusion of movement across the blanket’s surface.

I'm a slow hooker, but I made this 43-in lapghan in ~16 hours!!! Only stopped cuz I ran out of green. Original & anyone who doesn’t crochet at snail’s pace could finish this in no time. Maybe I should write it up?

You’re screaming at the screen again,
pointing fingers at the brand,
but not at the hands.

Don’t preach powerless
while saying their name,
amplifying every drop of drama
just to feel seen.

If you don’t like the noise,
stop clapping.

An image snippet from a longer piece of mine: Here's a dose of truth, medicinal. It's not my fault you take it personal. I'm a mirror, not your confessional. I reflect, I don't distort, but you hate the truth, you can't contort. You call me cruel, or cold, or mean. You definitely don't like the reflection you've seen. #poem #poetry #truth Check out the full piece here: https://open.substack.com/pub/spoiledknottydiva/p/the-mirror-you-meet?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=6c02nl

As much as I’m a perfectionist who loves a scientific approach, I’ll never stop being baffled by how much I hate pausing crochet to take notes & measurements.

I just want to make the art 😭

Pattern coming soon!

Image of my poem: To seek the truth, to lift the veil, Not bound by lies that twist or pale. With open eyes, choose to see, The world as it is, not how it could be. In knowledge, strength, & wisdom's light, Walk the path of clearer sight. No shadows will obscure the way, Face the truth, come what may.

Imagine of my poem: I will not bend my words to trend, Nor tailor thoughts the feed might send. Let silence starve the god of reach— I owe no tithe to soulless speech. No dance for clicks, no softened line, No gilded bait to buy me time. So let the echo pass me by. I’d rather fail than write a lie.

An image of my poem on notebook paper marked up with a red pen that reads: "A compliment from an English teach? Now that's bliss!" Psh. I wish. My English teachers used to groan, "Your writing's weak—just leave it alone!" They'd mark in red with weary sighs, While I sketched out graphs and theorized π’s. But now I'm old, and here's the deal: I write what I want; bad grammar’s my spiel. A rebel with commas, I strut on the page, A literary menace in middle age. So if you’re young and teachers scoff, Just smirk and flip their red pens off. You’ll find your voice in time, like me Unruly, proud, and immune to formality.

Imagine of original poem: Wake Up. Coffee drips. Toast burns. Scrape it nonetheless. Ceiling hums. Click. Scroll. Click. Scroll. Rhythm becomes heartbeat. Smile in squares. Laugh in squares. Grief in squares. Is this life, squared? Think of things done. Think of all things undone. Counting seconds. Counting nothing. Ever notice how small the world feels through tiny glass? Sit, sip, stare. Click. Scroll. Click. Scroll. A tiny anxiety pulse. A ritual sacrifice.
