Here’s some pictures of crocheted afghans I made. I only wish I’d taken pics of all the ones I’ve given away! I went through a phase in my life when I crocheted afghans non-stop. Everyone in my family got at least one and I was finally told “Enough!”. I’ve made other, smaller items from crochet but there is something about making an afghan which is really rewarding. Then, I guess I got burned-out and stopped for several years. In fact, I even gave away all my scraps and most of my patterns.
After years of not crocheting, I saw a pattern for this one and couldn’t resist. The pattern and instructions came from Red Heart. I found the instructions difficult to follow and I think it was only because of years of experience that I could figure it out.
Another favorite: I love the primary colors in this afghan. Sure brightens up a room!
This one I keep at the foot of the bed in the spare bedroom. I’ve used this pattern many times in a variety of colors. I have a brown and ecru that is “my afghan”, and I’ve made it in red, white, and blue at least three times. This one I extended the number of repeats to give it a different look.:
And a couple more that I made of granny squares. They are full size, not throws. I had these in storage and forgot about them. What a nice surprise to find them again!
