Celebrating 250 Years American Pride One Stitch at a Time π₯³πΊπΈ
2026, brings us to 250 years AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE, and it is with great pride, Doily Designs has rolled out the New Boho Mini American Flag Pattern.
The Boho Mini has all the same great features of the original Boho Granny flag design, on a much smaller, scale for that quick holiday project. Below is the Junior Blanket with the 2025 Mini. The New Boho Mini gives the ability to change the Canton from Horizontal to Vertical positioning for hanging. Along with several other new fun features.
Once you have tried the Mini, you may find the larger sizes even more appealing, as the entire pattern consists of fun, and simple steps, carried out one step at a time.

Tutorials and project shorts can be found my Youtube channel, as well as some Cats & Crochet, and a few silly videos like this Ai hallucination video I made with ai and some photos of my flag ππ€£π€π§Άπ
Last year in May, 2025, came the vision and release of the Mini American Flag Boho Granny Crochet Pattern, this year we are frogging that flag, to make room for the new 2.0 updated DIAGONAL pattern, that like the Original Boho Granny American Flag Blanket Pattern, has the Diverse Stripes, and the Stars crocheted into the Squares, and the Diverse Stitch overall aesthetics.
The 2.0 version will be sold separately, as well as in a reduced 2 pattern bundle with the 1st mini American flag heart plush pattern.
While they are both fun patterns, the new version is truer to the Original Doily Designs Boho Granny American flag design.
New features include the ability to change orientation of the Canton position from Horizontal to Vertical!
While this is a bit of an advanced pattern, beginners are encouraged to give it a try. Find tutorials on Youtube for this pattern, as well as finding help from the designer, Cathleen, on Etsy, Patreon, Kofi, or Substack.
With 4 Trim Patterns included in the Boho Mini crochet pattern, you might have to make several for gifts, and try all the different trims! π
Thank you for stopping by and for your support.
Best wishes, happy crocheting and Happy American Independence 2026 ππΊπΈπ§Ά
I am a bit of a jokester, I hope none are offended by my use of TAPS in this frogging video πΈ π§ΆπΊπΈ
The Evolution of the Riffle Edge: From Sketches to Fringe
Sometimes a design needs a bit of time. If you follow Doily Designs, you might recall the Riffle Edge, seen in things like the Americana Star Coaster. It started years ago as a simple riffle stitch that I shared a hand drawn graph for here on the Blog in 2025, to show how those foundation stitches come together.
Lately, I have been pushing the boundaries of what this stitch can do, and am moving away from the standard border and leaning into a longer dramatic fringe style, like seen on this Boho Granny American Flag.
Why is it different?
When I first put the word out into the world around 2012, this elongated version created a new texture today that I hadn't seen then or now anywhere else with my weird loopy stitch seen below on a doily in 2012 with the creation of the Riffle Edge.
The core of my original design is still in the loopy fringe style that makes it's statement.
It has been a slow burn for four plus years of refining this stitch to get it to what ifs to real possibilities and a polished version.
I will admit, finding the focus to get this all down on paper (and screen) has not been easy lately, but seeing how this fringe hangs and moves makes the process worth it. Whether you are a fan of the original shorter version or you are ready for this new longer look, I can't wait to see how you use it!
It has recently come to my attention that not everyone knows how to make fringe, so I will be adding Fringe videos as I am able. For now, more Riffle Edge Fringe π π
