Tea for Two is part of my TextureGhan series - a collection of crochet afghans that highlight texture over color so you can relax and crochet. Choose some colors from your stash or, better yet, grab some self-striping yarn cakes and let them do all the color work for you.

Tea for Two and it’s counterpart, Two for Tea, were created to be especially relaxing during these trying times. Even the borders are simple and enjoyable to crochet and all the math has been done for you! So, get yourself a cuppa, put on your favorite show, and just stitch away for a while.

Complete crochet charts are included and can be used on their own or as a helpful tool with the written pattern.

Instructions for 4 different sizes - Baby; kid/lapghan; medium throw; and large throw (see details below) - are included in the pattern. Pattern is also very easy to customize to meet your own size requirements - you can increase and decrease width in increments of about 6 inches and length in increments of about 8 inches.

Instructions also include color placement for 6 - 8 different colors (plus a border color) in all 4 sizes if you’d like to create your own color palette.

Pattern is also available on Etsy. Click the “visit pattern website” link above to buy it there.
