American Beauty Afghan By Kathy Brown
Introduction
You can make this an afghan, or
bedspread.
Gauge is not really a problem with this pattern.
You just need even numbers when making your chain. The hook will decide the
size. I used an L hook. My finished size was 85âL x 85âW as it was my intention
to make a very large blanket to cover our bed in either the house or trailer.
Materials List
Yarns used: Red Heart; 8
skeins Shaded Dusk, 8 Skeins White, 6 skeins Wine
Crochet hook, needle and scissors.
Finished Size
Depends on hook size.

The Pattern
Chain 256 with white.
Single crochet in 2nd
chain from hook and each stitch thereafter to the end. Chain 2 and turn.
YO Pull up a loop in the first
stitch, YO pull up a loop in the next stitch. 3 loops on hook.
YO and pull through 2 loops, then
YO and pull through 2 loops. Stitch complete. Chain 3 turn.
YO pull stitch up in the same
stitch you just finished, YO and pull loop up in next stitch.
3 loops on hook. YO and pull
through 2 loops, YO and pull through 2 loops. Continue in this manor to the end
of the row where you will do 1 double crochet in the last stitch completed. I changed
colors at the beginning of every 13th row. On this blanket, there
are 8 sections of white and four sections of each color.
Repeat row 2 until you reach the desired length.
Finish off. Weave in all ends.
