The Old Glory American Flag Afghan makes a wonderful gift for a veteran or any patriotic person in your life---perhaps even yourself! This throw measures 36” x 62” and is designed to mimic an antique Betsy Ross version of the American Flag with its 13 stars and 13 stripes.

The main body of the flag uses the Suzette Stitch to give it a wonderful, squishy texture. The pattern is stuffed full of written details, tips, tricks and large-sized photo tutorials! There is color changing involved (once per row) and only on the upper portion of the afghan and this is also covered in a photo tutorial.

The stars are made separately, glued into place and then sewn on by hand. The back side of the flag is left blank since it would be backwards anyway, but you could easily add more stars if desired.

Because of the color change and sewing on the stars, this pattern is Intermediate level.
