My Grandmother taught me. I am looking forward to doing the Sample Crochet Afghan because it has been a long time since I actually followed a pattern. Until my order arrives, I am working on several granny square blankets and baby sets. I also have to begin the hat and scarf sets for Christmas. Can you believe that my grown children still look forward to their knitted or crocheted gifts? It has become a family tradition. I will let you know how I make out following this pattern.

I make blankets for still born children for a local hospital. This pattern is so fast and easy to work up it has been a joy doing it since the blankets run out fast. It is also a good way to get rid of scrap yarn, they make beautiful and one of a kind afghans. I got the sample crochet afghan pattern and have really enjoyed doing it.

Even though the cost is nominal, it is far easier and faster to download the pattern directly from the web site. Will you consider providing the pattern in this manner?

I have been crocheting and knitting for years. I would consider myself intermediate. Iam going to start this project today. Iam looking forward in reading all the comments. It will be like having my own crochet group. This is my first time in joining. I have been crocheting and knitting for years. I would consider myself intermediate.

I was always afraid that the afghan would come out crooked on one side. I like to crochet easy projects and I also have a difficult time reading some patterns (some don't make sense). I will try this and see what happens. This way I will have someone to help me when I get stuck. I have crochet hats, shawls, slippers, and some baby blankets but have not crochet an afghan.

I've been crocheting and knitting since I taught myself during my teen years. I mostly knit since I have trouble shaping in crocheted projects. So I should be able to tackle this afghan. Am I reading it correctly, I can make this afghan with 4 balls of yarn? Can you tell me how to figure for more yarn if I want the afghan bigger? Thanks! Crochet Sampler Afghan
