Free Pattern: Sugarplum Cables Afghan from Yarnspirations

February 1, 2019 by Stitch&Unwind

Today’s free pattern is a bold and beautiful afghan pattern from our friends at Yarnspirations. This afghan is the perfect project to work up this time of year – the cozy, chunky yarn says “winter,” but the bright colors say “spring!” Let yourself get carried away with this colorful knitting pattern – it’s quick enough to finish in a weekend. Have fun, and we’ll see you back again on Monday with more fun blog posts!
