Guest Post: Alex from Two Hearts Crochet Shares 11 “Princes” Graphs
Guest Contributor, Alex of Two Hearts Crochet, Shares 11 Graphs of “Princes” or Male Lead Disney Characters
I cannot explain how thrilled I am that Alex from Two Hearts Crochet is sharing some of her graphing magic with us here at Fandom Knitting + Crochet! If you are unfamiliar with her blog, she is the graphgan guru, a real-life crochet master.
Truly, I am so beyond excited to share her fabulous new graphs with you, not only because they are spectacular, but because it means a lot to me to collaborate with a fellow fangirl/nerdy crafter. As anyone in the Fandom Knitting and Crochet Group or Two Hearts Crochet Family groups on Facebook know, it is all about supporting and building up one another. Alex was kind enough to share some of her talents and knowledge with me (and us) and I am so grateful.
Without further ado, here is Alex’s guest post. Enjoy!

Guest Post Begins Here!
Hi! My name is Alex, and I am super excited to be guest posting here on the Fandom Knitting + Crochet blog.
Here’s a little snippet about me: I live in eastern Washington state (which is currently on fire, as per usual this time of year). I spend as much of my free time crocheting as possible, though I’ve been dabbling in both cross stitch and acrylic painting over the last several months. I’m a bit of a nerd myself, and I started my own blog as a way to share my nerdy crochet patterns.
A few years back, I posted amigurumi doll patterns on my blog for each of the Disney princesses. After the phenomenal response to the dolls, I knew I wanted to offer other “nerdy” patterns and designs!
I can’t list all of my fandoms here for you (we’d be here all day!), but I can tell you that my favorites are Doctor Who, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Supernatural. Of course, I love all things related to Disney and Pixar, and I’ve just recently fallen in love with the Netflix original series Anne With an “E”, so if there’s a fandom for that, count me in!
My blog is called Two Hearts Crochet (time lord, you know?), and it’s grown a lot in the last few years. I offer mainly amigurumi patterns and graphghan designs featuring different nerdy/fandom characters, but I am also starting to offer a few home décor items and even some garments! I also share lots of tips and crochet resources, and I even teach a couple of online “ecourses”—one on making amigurumi dolls and one on making graphghans!
Okay, now for the good stuff!
For my guest post, I wanted to share with you some brand new graph designs I made that can either be used on their own OR can be paired with the graphs for my Disney Princess & Villains graphghan.
I’ve been wanting to make these graphs for a long time, and this opportunity to guest blog here at Fandom Knitting + Crochet was the perfect excuse to get started.
There are 11 princes (or otherwise male-lead characters) included in this pattern set:
- Prince Florian (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
- Prince Henry/Prince Charming (Cinderella)
- Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)
- Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)
- The Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
- Aladdin (Aladdin)
- John Smith (Pocahontas)
- Li Shang (Mulan)
- Prince Naveen (The Princess & The Frog)
- Eugene/Flynn Rider (Tangled)
- Kristoff (Frozen)
These graphs were designed to match the style of the other graphs in the Disney Princess & Villains graphghan, which were used with the Mini Corner-to-Corner stitch. As such, the arrows on these graphs are for use with Mini C2C (or regular C2C—either one works!)
Also included with each graph is a list of suggested yarn colors. For the Disney Princess & Villains graphghan, I recommended using Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice yarns. To remain consistent with that recommendation, I decided to suggest the same yarn for these Disney Princes graphs.
These graphs turned out better than even I imagined! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I’m especially happy without both Beast and Aladdin turned out.
Download the graphs here: Disney Prince Graphs.
I hope you enjoy these graph designs as much as I’ve enjoyed making them! They’re a perfect addition to the graphs for my Disney Princess & Villains graphghan. You can mix-and-match to make a blanket that’s truly unique!
For more graphghan goodness, I encourage you to visit my blog—there are lots of free patterns available to choose from!
