Beautiful Afghan Easy Pattern

MKR14 · ‎03-09-2010

The colors I used was Petal Pink, White, and Pretty in Pink Jumbo 14 oz skein of each color of Red Heart Worsted weight yarn was used. I made one also in teals and ivory. I can post a photo if you would like to see them. It took about 10 days for me to make 2 afghans. It takes a J crochet hook. 124 sets across and then follow the pattern doing a double crochet across. Super easy. I used the Random Pattern Generater online.

Lovely!

I'd love to see the teal one too, love teal!

The teal was the first one I made and wanted a different pattern so the second one is what I used. I liked it better.

I am not good at arranging the afghans but here is a college I made for them. The teal one was a pale green yarn and an aqua color (worsted weight CARON 16oz. yarn) that was more teal color.

The pink Afghan is Red Heart Yarn for the Pretty n Pink and Petal Pink. No other color pink other than Red Heart yarn to find this brighter pink. Really loved the colors of this Afghan.

Here are the photos:

The teal color pattern was too random for me. The Random Pattern Generator is online and easy to use. Just pick out how many rows-using three colors you can make the pink one. The pattern I put here is what I used. I had 6 rows of each in the pink pattern of each color. Chain 124 sts and follow pattern doing a double crochet.

The teal pattern had three colors but 2,4,6,8 rows in the pattern.

I wish I was talented like you!

@KingstonsMom @Thank you. I love to crochet but last year I had a problem with my right hand and didn’t think I would crochet again. Thankfully God healed it so I could continue to do what I love.

I made a blanket for my neighbor’s dog, a baby blanket in baby rainbow colors for a friends shower and these two afghans all within two months. I am giving my hand a rest this week so it stays this way.

Learning to crochet really is easy. Start with a chai stitch and just chain all day. Once that is mastered the rest will be easier.

Much easier using a crochet hook than knitting. I do both but prefer crocheting.

Have a great day!

Those are lovely! I love to crochet and knit but lately I just can’t seem to be interested. Things like this beautiful inspiration help. Thank you for sharing.
