After hours and hours and HOURS it is finally done. I’ve scrolled through Pinterest so many times and seen so many fabulously textured afghans with layers of color and wonderful stitch work.
So, of course, I wanted to make one too!
I was so excited when I found a free pattern AND step-by-step tutorial to make this afghan, courtesy of Veronika’s Crochet Patterns.
Here is the step-by-step video tutorial. I had to ad-lib a few of the rounds because of miscalculations here or there – or forgetting where I was – or just because I wanted a bit more texture.
For example, my final round is alternating Front Post Double Crochet and Back Post Double Crochet stitches because I like the texture and visual interest that it gives the edge of the blanket.
Fields of Flowers….
But I feel more like mine would be a cute blanket you’d see on the back of an alpaca somewhere. I think it may be necessary to make a little amigurumi llama with a cutsie little matchy-matchy blanket to accompany this afghan!
Currently, this particular blanket is on sale in my Etsy shop!
