Cozy Country Houses Afghan Pattern Review
This month, Shady Lane Original Crochet Designs has given me a copy of the Country Houses Afghan to review and a second copy to giveaway to one of my readers! This electronic booklet includes 6 pages of written instructions to make a cozy afghan in 3 different sizes.
The blankets depict charming rows of houses with a cozy chimney smoke drifting into the sky. Perfect for the home or the cottage, this easy to crochet blanket is made in a single color of yarn and the pattern is available in 3 different sizes.
The stitches you will be using to create these projects are:
chain (ch)
loop (lp)
loops (lps)
single crochet (sc)
single crochet bobble (sb)
stitch (st)
stitches (sts)
together (tog)
The entire pattern uses single crochet stitches (sc) worked in the back loop of a stitch, double crochet stitches (dc) worked in a remaining front loop of a stitch from 2 rows before and single crochet bobble stitches. The sc bobble stitches are explained in the Special Stitches Section on page 2.
The pattern is worked on the RS (right side) only, and you will finish-off the strand of yarn you are working with at the end of every row. The project is designed to allow you to create either an easy fringe, or a triple fringe (shown in the image) on the left and right side edges of the blanket. BONUS: You will not have any ends to sew in!
By watching Carol’s helpful step-by-step video tutorial you will be able to master the dropped double crochet technique easily.
