Modern Chevron Afghan #4

White, gray, and pale yellow were the colors I chose for my first ripple afghan. I really enjoyed making this one even though my hands are still throbbing from all the crocheting! This one took about 10 days to complete, thankfully I completed last week's afghan a little early :) I worked very hard to get it finished but it was definitely worth it!

Pattern found http://allthingsbrightandbeautifulcrafts.blogspot.com/2011/11/chevron-blanket.html
I did a hdc instead of sc to make the project go faster. My afghan measured about 43" x 68" and I used 2 strips of accent color instead of just one.

Afghan #3

Finally finished my third afghan, it is small, a lapghan or baby blanket but nonetheless it is finished! Very happy with the way it turned out I may go back and add a few colors to the granny edge.
The pattern? Well I didn't really use one, I just chained about 120, hdc in each row until blanket measured about 36 inches then single crocheted (sc) around entire blanket, 3 sc in each corner stitch. For the granny edging I did 3 double chains (dc) in one single crochet, then skipped 2. For the corners you do 3dc, chain 2, then 3dc in same corner stitch.
Next week's afghan will be a gray, white and pale yellow afghan.
Happy crocheting!
