A crochet afghan of beauty is a joy forever and in these afghans, the designer has captured the exquisite beauty of 'le Petit Trianon' in 'Old Versailles', the sturdy beauty of our Pilgrim Fathers in the 'Cape Cod' and the lush beauty of the Old South in 'Charleston Garden'. You will have fun making these crochet afghans and the many others in this book because of the clear bright colors. They're such a pleasure to work with.
Crochet Patterns
The entire Afghan is worked in sc.
When 2 colors are used carry the 2nd color under sts for the entire row, drawing up the thread being carried to insure its not looping on the wrong side. In changing color, pick up the 2nd color when completing the last st of first color.
