Crochet-along is an amazing opportunity to undertake bigger projects without getting lost on the way. If you don’t feel experienced enough to try making an afghan yourself, taking part in this step-by-step project is a great idea.
Pattern is divided into smaller chunks with detailed instructions, so you can be sure that frogging is no option here. Afghan squares are great for making bigger bedspreads, but you can make the blanket as big as you want, simply by using smaller or bigger amount of squares. Baby blankets made with these intricate modules will look stunning! Try it! Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
