I love the colour BLUE but I don’t love BLUES so I made this crochet afghan top “January Blues” as a crochet therapy and colour therapy and a bit of TLC for myself and my wardrobe all rolled into one!

This crochet afghan top “January Blues” is bursting with shades of blue that are infused into the granny square neck detail especially and is full of texture thanks to the puff stitch. The gorgeous puff stitch is highlighted in white for a contrasting effect and is used as my method of joining the pieces together. It also gives my crochet afghan top a nice overall finish.

With just 28 pieces to join, this top will work faster than your typical afghan and you’ll create yourself a character piece to wear outside.
