This is my ‘Pura Vida’ blanket which will be a 6 week crochet-along (CAL) starting on 10th October 2025.

This blanket is inspired by the Costa Rican greeting ‘Pura Vida’. Living the “Pura Vida” lifestyle! Simply translated, ‘Pura Vida’ means “pure life” in Spanish. Just like ‘Hakuna Matata’ from The Lion King, ‘Pura Vida’ is the Costa Rican version of that laid-back, everything’s cool philosophy!
Originally designed as a 13-part blanket crochet along for Crochet Now Magazine, the pattern is now available from me…
