Double-Sided Reversible Afghan
This was a pattern of my grandmother’s that my dad found vaguely written out on a piece of paper tucked away in an old writing desk. He realized it was the pattern for an old afghan that she had made for him when he was a boy. By looking at the afghan and decoding the pattern, I was able to figure out how it was done.
It’s a totally reversible pattern and makes a nice heavy blanket for the cold winter months. Essentially, it is two loosely-crochet pieces crocheted together simultaneously. The original pattern had fringe, but since I personally don’t care for it, I chose to add a little bit of my own style in with my grandma’s.
This is a very flexible pattern. You can easily adjust it to be any size by changing the gauge or by adding/removing stitches or rows. You can use lighter weight yarn for a blanket that’s thick, but not quite as heavy. You can add stripes to it or add more colors to make it even more complex…the possibilities are endless!
If you have any questions, comments, or feedback on this pattern, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I have no delusions that the patterns I write are perfect.
