Our Crochet Process: Handmade Blankets and Keepsakes
I believe that every blanket tells a story through its stitches. Take a look at how I turn soft balls of yarn into comforting keepsakes for your home.
My daughter Sakshi is showing off a striped baby blanket with pom-poms that she is particularly proud of. It has over 12,000 stitches, and every single one came out perfect, almost like it was machine made. When you buy from us, you pay for quality and uniqueness.
I was working on a bulk order of five baby blankets here, each with a different pattern. This one was one of the softest I've ever crocheted. It's always a great experience to try new patterns and find the perfect soft yarns for a customer.
Crocheting is not as easy as it looks. It takes hours of repetitive wrist movements to turn a ball of wool into an apparel item, which can sometimes lead to pain. It's a sport that requires immense patience from both the creator and the customer.
As a 90s kid, my daughter Sakshi is breaking old patterns while crocheting baby blankets. She brings a modern perspective to our craft, helping us create fresh and unique designs.
For a crocheter, every day is like Holi, full of colors. Here I am starting a new project, surrounded by all the beautiful shades of yarn for a daisy blanket.
"Rang hamesha rangeen hi ache lagte hain." Colors always look good when they are colorful. Holding up a section of a daisy blanket, I am reminded of how much joy colors bring to my life and my work.
I believe colors have a healing power and a soothing influence. Working with yarn and creating colorful pieces has been a form of therapy for me, and I hope our blankets bring that same sense of comfort to you.
Just take a moment to look at these colors. This is the yarn palette for a daisy blanket. I find that just looking at a basket full of colorful yarn can be a moment of peace in a busy day.
Art has the power to heal. I started with painting and now I have a room full of yarn in so many colors. Crocheting heals something inside that we didn't even know was broken.
Not everyone understands the skill involved in crochet. But I am proud of the wide range of items I can create, from a large, complex blanket to tiny, intricate sunflower earrings. It is a skill that requires dedication and focus.
About From Our Hands to Your Home: The Making Of
I select every skein of yarn for softness and durability, avoiding rough roadside wool. Because I hand-stitch every piece, each blanket takes 4-5 weeks to complete, which ensures the quality of our signature patterns.
Many people assume crochet is fast, but it is a slow process that requires immense patience. When you request a custom piece, I start by helping you select a color palette from soft pastels to bold contrasts. I use premium acrylic yarn that stays soft after machine washing. Whether it is a granny square pattern or our daisy patchwork, I ensure the stitches are uniform. My daughter Sakshi manages the business details, but I do the work.
The Craft
My process relies on consistent wrist movement and precision. A standard baby blanket involves over 12,000 stitches. I treat this as a form of therapy. When you order from us, you get a product that is not mass-produced in a factory but made in a home environment in the National Capital Region.
Customization
If you have a specific size in mind or a name you want crocheted into the blanket, I can accommodate those requests. We offer designs ranging from simple stripes to complex patchwork. Everything is shipped across India, packed carefully to reach you in perfect condition.
Nishtha's Handmade
