My patterns are all made with Beginners in mind, so you will find more instruction than Crochet Shorthand, as well as close-up photo tutorials of each row to help with stitch placement. I would love to help you through it if you need that and if you’d like to talk to others who are making/have made this pattern, jump on to the Happily Hooked Crochet & Knitting fb page…. :)

This Afghan, with its elegant simplicity yet textured pattern, works up quick due to the easy stitches and is the perfect step-up for beginners to make their first blanket. The pattern was written to be made with any size yarn and corresponding hook without amendment to the pattern itself. Also designed to meet your needs as far as the size of the project you have in mind – Parts 2 & 3 together, or on their own, in the order you choose, can be repeated as many times as you like until you’ve reached the size you desire. The Afghans in the photos were made to the pattern without repeats. The pattern has been TESTED by 12 seasoned testers.
