Inspiration for patterns can come from anywhere: a trip to a new country, the garden outside your window, a fellow afghan pattern, the list goes on. My inspiration this week: Cinema and TV.
I’m a big movie fanatic and have grown quite a collection over the years. Enough so that I no longer allow myself to go past the $5 dollar movie section at Target, because I end up finding at least 2-3 movies that I desperately want, but have no place to put.
Beyond the actual experience of watching a film (being transported to another time, place, and even world), I love having one on as background noise when I crochet (action films excluded…crocheting to James Bond did not turn out well). There’s nothing more relaxing then grabbing my hook and yarn and throwing on a movie. The last movie I watched while crocheting was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and all I kept thinking was “I really wish I could have Katniss’ cowl”.
To the internet I went searching for the pattern. One thing led to another and I was soon gathering quite an extensive list of patterns inspired by popular television and movie. Take a peak at some of my favorites below!

The Brady Bunch Afghan should be The Partridge Family Afghan.
