Scalloped Afghan Pattern

Crocheted Scalloped Afghan

The beautiful Scalloped Afghan pattern is available in both the Etsy and Craftsy shops today. It is such a beautiful work of art that I know you will want to get started making your own right away.

The yarn for this scalloped afghan is simply dreamy. You can choose any of the long color-changing yarns when you make this blanket. It works up into the beautiful long stripes you see below. The tweedy-looking yarn in the photos is masculine and stylish all at the same time. The yarn is bulky (#5) and crochets up extremely quick.

Scalloped blanket is finished

I have finally finished this beautiful afghan that I have named the scalloped blanket. I use this beautiful yarn that comes in so many different colors.

Aren’t they gorgeous? I decided to write the tutorial and share it with you but it is still in the process.

This close up of the different colors in the yarn makes it a beautiful addition to your home.

It is a truly wonderful blanket full of texture. The design  and pattern are very simple and the yarn is easy to work with. I think this is a step up from a basic beginner blanket. I can’t wait to share the instructions with you.IMG_9035

The colors look different in different lights. Reds, blues and grays can be so hard to photograph. There is tan and browns in the blanket as well.

I was hoping to have this tutorial written by now. Things have been busy at home. Our oldest dear daughter graduated from college this past weekend. We had tons of work to do getting her things loaded up into the cars and then attending the lovely graduation ceremony. Celebrating this wonderful accomplishment was an honor. Then there was a super fast loading of her stuff and the 5+ hour drive home in three different cars. It was a long drive but incredibly worth it. We are very proud of her. She worked incredibly hard and is now ready to start the next chapter in her life!

You can see why writing the crochet pattern just didn’t happen this past week.

talk to you later,
