Big Book of Beautiful Afghans

The Big Book of Beautiful Afghans includes 30 gorgeous crochet blanket patterns. Some of these crochet afghans are worked back and forth in rows, some use the mile-a-minute method, others are crocheted in rounds and a few are created with crocheted motifs that are seamed together.

The finished projects range in size from baby blankets to full adult size afghans. Most of the blankets were crocheted with Medium Weight Yarn [4]. You will find a few for Bulky Weight [5], Light Weight [3], Fine Weight [2] and even one that has been crocheted using cotton crochet thread #10.

The stitches and stitch patterns used in the blankets are varied, as are the difficulty levels of the patterns.

I have provided a pattern-by-pattern breakdown below for all 30 afghans.

    I wasn’t able to see all the afghans unfortunately, but the Diamond Daze Afghan is gorgeous and I’d love to make it first.
