Pantone Color of the Year 2014: Radiant Orchid Crochet Afghan Patterns

January 10, 2014 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns 5 Comments

radiant-orchid-afghansEvery year, Pantone releases a color that will dominate the fashion world for the next 365 days (and if the hue is as gorgeous as radiant orchid, a lot longer than that). This year’s pick is a stunning purple-pink that flatters, adds flair, and begs to be flaunted. I have yet to see a single skin tone that isn’t made more beautiful by radiant orchid; there’s just something about this color. The other completely fascinating fact about this shade is that it pairs well with any other color. No, really. Buy a skein of this hue and you can whip up an afghan using any other color you already own.

Every home could use a bit of extra radiance, so work up your favorite pattern from the list below and get it on display. Whether you’re a trendsetter or have more classic tastes, you will find the perfect radiant orchid free crochet afghan pattern for you. 2014 is here, and it cannot wait to be adorned with radiant orchid.

Let’s dig in:
