American flag, a certain one

[Ambersafghans]

I had a pattern for an American flag that had the stars in the blue field crochetd in. As in, there was a hole in the blue field and the star connected by the points? Anyone know where it is? I can't find it anywhere!

I found this picture that fits your description and below it the crocheter says the name of the book she found it in is Leisure Arts Our Best Afghans A to Z.

Yep that american flag one is the one I'm talking about it. It's the same in the second link above. That thing gave me fits when I tried but I was a total begginer then.It's funny how we remember the ones that drove us bonkers:sweat

 

Is that the one Amber?? I love it :)h

The first one that Emperessbusybee posted I"ve seen before, but it's not it. The second one and the one Sue posted I had to submit to out security system. But thanks for trying. I'm still very frusterated that I can't find it.

The flags are almost the same, but I can see why the one in the second link would frustrate a beginner. It looks like her pattern calls for the stars to be made separately and then worked onto blue pentagons (creating a double thickness). The one in the picture was made with 6-pointed stars and then the blue yarn is just attached at the last round to make hexagons (creating the star in a hole effect). How to turn the field of hexagons into a rectangle is beyond my limited experience. Maybe adding in some triangles along the edges? The stripes look the same for both afghans.

 

Amber, I hope you're able to find your pattern. It's a really impressive-looking afghan. One of the websites is selling them for $110.

The afghan that I had found was a free pattern. But what you described sounded right. I hope I can get to those links soon! Anyone else know where I might find it?
