This pattern is available from twistedyarns.com for $6.50.

For all the ‘shroomers in the world, the stitch pattern combines rows of classic shells with rows of clusters to create the  illusion of mushrooms.

Designed to create repeating stripes without any waste,  choose 7 neutral colors to create this 48 by 60 inch blanket. The pattern requires 7 oz of each color and the afghan will use up nearly every inch of the 7 skeins! Voila, no leftover yarn!

You can use more or fewer colors but keep in mind you must use an odd number of colors and at least 3 colors to keep the mushrooms distinctive.

Crocheted in Red Heart In Love yarn, a readily available 4-ply acrylic yarn, and an H crochet hook, the afghan is easy-care and super durable!
