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.
