Naturally Gorgeous: 9 Nature-Inspired Afghan Patterns

December 29, 2015 by Stitch&Unwind 5 Comments

The weather so far this December has been so temperamental that I don’t even know what to do. One day it’s almost 60 degrees and blindingly sunny, the next it’s raining and damp enough that even a jacket doesn’t keep out the chill. I’m usually the kind of person that loves being outside, but not when I need to bring along a coat, umbrella, sunglasses, and gloves just to take a walk!

If you want to experience nature this winter without actually, you know, going outside, these 9 crochet afghan patterns are all inspired by the great outdoors. These are some seriously great free crochet patterns for beginners, and best of all, once you work one up you can cuddle up with it all winter long. Using all the colors of a walk in the woods, these easy crochet patterns will remind you of days when the trees still had leaves and the weather was still enjoyable! It’s the perfect time to pick up a new project since the holidays are over, so look through these free, easy crochet patterns and find your inspiration.

    I just finished a baby blanket in the bamboo stitch. (wool over, knit two, pull wool over the two knit stitches, wool over and repeat to end) I love doing this pattern. I would like to make a full size afghan. Problem is that the finished baby blanket is slanted…..maybe from pulling the wool over needle over the two stitches. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Also my edges are never very neat…..one side looks different than the other and the sides tend to roll under. My mother adds two stitches to the total needed. She always slips the first stitch and the last stitch is knit in the back. Hers looks great. Mine not so much. ANY other suggestions? Would adding a garter stitch border help?
    All suggestions would be appreciated. As you might have noticed, I am not an experienced knitter.

      Can you post the photo close up and far?

      Is it knitted or crocheted ?

      Someone may recognize it.

      Good luck . .

    Is there a pattern and/or name for the afghan shown in the small picture on the Nature listing page? It is in shades of pinks/tans/etc., It is somewhat a Freeform Afghan. Thanks in advance for an answer.

    PLEASE label patterns as either knit or crochet! I don’t have the time to click on patterns to crochet when I do not crochet! I suspect people who do not knit feel the same way. You have wonderful patterns, but so do many other sites that clearly let you know which patterns are which. Thank you!
