Another one of my curiousities....

Has anyone used regular camo yarn? Saw some camo in the RHSS section at the store and I am tryin to think of a simple afghan pattern that would look good in that yarn, but not boring either. Something as simple as a flannelghan, but as nice looking? I wonder if it would work in a flannelghan.... It would work well flor a guy's afghan. Thanks for listening to my little ramble and any feedback you can give me would be great!

I've done turtle shells in the camo. I liked how they came out.

I did a beanie hat & scarf set in camo. It turned out pretty cool. My grammy did a cro-hook afghan in camo. It was actually kinda pretty.

I made an afghan for my son with camo yarn, trimmed with black. I didn't use a pattern--just made long, long rectangular grannies, and attached and edged them.

I don't think it'll really work with the flannelghan. When you use 2 strands of a variegated yarn they tend to be really discombobulated. Part of what makes the camo camo is the color. The other part is the color pooling.

I used something that was like camo but in blues. I did 6 X 9 in. rectangles in the box stitch. I edged some in light and some in dark blues that matched ones in the camo. They made a nice afghan. I think squares/rectangles edged in 1 or or 2 of the camo colors would be fine.

Karen,

As a huge granny square fan, I LOVE your design there! Did you go off a pattern? I bet your son loved that afghan, heh.

 

RoseRed,

Lol, I should have known it couldn't be that easy. Too bad, though. Your flannelghan pattern is priceless!

 

CrochetedSass,

That's another good idea for a guy's gift! Thanks

 

Sopo,

Turtle shells? Do you mean ami turtles?

Round ripples turn out great in camo! I've made several of them for the guys in my family.

[milkyway]

I did 7 scarves that were camo & a solid, 1brown, 2 olive green, 4 black. Basic 200 dc for 6 rows, hdc edging.

I am working on a camo RR for my nieces hubby if I get him in the family grab.

They sure do make awesome round ripples and giant square or rectangular granny squares too.

I made a simple DC afghan for my son - no pattern, just 'went with it' - used camo and a dark corresponding green stripes with smaller black accent stripes.

I made my two grandsons(for Christmas) round ripples using the green camo and black yarn. My two daughters liked the afghans so much that I "hurriedly" made one for my youngest daughter who's birthday is just 12 days after Christmas!! :eek My other daughter who also liked the afghans...I wasn't in such a hurry as her birthday wasnt until April!!

I have a rr and I will post when I can get the picture on this computer..

used with a dark green and light tan. This was a striping camo from ILTY and I was really tickled how it turned out!

I love that ghan - it would be so neat for a manly man.

Aww, thanks. It was a gift for my only son's 18th birthday a few years ago (he'll be 21 in Sept. this year...sniff). He loves para-military airsoft games, so it was perfect for him, and he loved it--has it with at college now. Boy, I miss that kid...

My heart is with you on that one. It's great that he uses it (and remembers mom)

Camo works great in regular ripples as well when paired with a solid that goes with one of the colors. I've been (slowly) working on a ripple ghan using RHSS in camo and frosted flecks.

[specialK]

I have done 2 baby round ripples in camo. 1 pink and 1 regular.
