I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing weekend! As the weekend comes to a close, it’s easy to get anxious about the week ahead. However, I urge you to relax and take the week one day at a time and maintain a sense of relaxation throughout the week. How? Crochet of course! I try to crochet during my lunch breaks at work because I find that in crocheting stitch after stitch I slowly relax and my mind becomes clear. It’s kind of magical actually.
I invite you to crochet an afghan during your free time this week that will let you relax even after it is completed. These thirteen patterns will remind you of the beach and for a good reason. The color blue is naturally calming and it’s a wonderful color to bring into your home. Some of these crochet afghans are ripple patterns and other feature shades of blue in unique ways that you will definitely want to check out. We’ve got swirls, circles, hexagons and more.
If you’ve been to the beach recently, you know how hard it is to leave. It’s one of the saddest parts about summer ending. Saying goodbye to the beach can be hard, but if you crochet one of these afghans, time will go by faster and you’ll be reminded of the warm breeze and crashing seas all winter long
