HappyOldCro Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Afghan I made for dh's birthday. He wanted something neutral and not frilly for his new lounge chair. It is sc, dc and long dc stitches. Similar to a teardrop afghan, but I did not use a pattern, just did my own thing to get the look of sewing stitches. It is a two row repeat pattern, in a 10 row repeat of color in 3 shades. I used Vanna's choice Taupe (2 Skeins) and Berella 4 in Light taupe (4 skeins) and Heather (6 skeins). They worked well together and since I had stash in those colors I didn't have to buy any yarn. Was going to put pattern in original free patterns section, but couldn't decide if I could call it original, a variation or what. So here are pics... Edited July 3, 2011 by HappyOldCro edited number of repeated rows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
