10 Contemporary Crochet Afghan Patterns

December 21, 2014 by AllFreeCrochet

Contemporary Granny Ripple Throw

A contemporary take on the traditional ripple.

I’m always on the hunt for a free crochet afghan pattern that is different that anything else I have seen before. Lately, I have been drawn to designs that lean more to the modern contemporary vibe.

From the simple colors to the clean lines, these designs are different enough to keep my attention while I work. I find that with these cleaner designs, combined with the colors and stitches chosen, that the simplicity of the design becomes fresh, modern and a nice focal point in any decor.

I’ve also found that these more modern and contemporary afghan patterns make wonderful gifts to make for the men in your life.  The simple designs will appeal to them, as well as a more subdued color palette.

 

 

 

Traditional Designs Made Modern


Contemporary Zig Zag Throw

The big and bold blocks of color take this traditional design and give it a modern twist.

While these designs might be something that our grandmothers worked up, by switching up the more traditional colors and stitches, these crochet afghan patterns become new and appealing once again. Any of these designs can be made to match our more modern decors and in any color scheme, so one is sure to look fabulous with your decor.
