Printable Crochet Afghans You’ll Love

May 13, 2013 by AllFreeCrochet 33 Comments

Afghans eBook from Lion BrandOne of the first crochet patterns I ever attempted when learning how to crochet was a scarf. Although scarves are one of the easiest to work up, especially when just beginning, I had a tough time. My rows were off and my finished product looked like an hour glass where it increased and decreased throughout the entire design. And don’t even get me started on black yarn, that was interesting. Since then I have become quite the scarf-maker and I’ve even graduated to crocheted afghans. That’s right! I learned how to crochet a blanket just by teaching myself through free crochet afghan patterns and YouTube videos. I’m currently in the process of making a Blackhawks afghan which so far has been proven to be way above my skill level.

The patterns that are more up my alley came from Lion Brand. Together with their efforts, AllFreeCrochet and AllFreeKnitting have come out with an awesome eBook: The Most Popular Patterns for Afghans: 16 Knit & Crochet Afghan Patterns from Lion Brand. In this eBook you can find 16 crocheted afghans and knit afghans that you’re sure to fall in love with. Each of the afghans are a beautiful blend of crochet colors and knit colors. However, you can choose whatever colors you wish. From chic and stylish to effortless crochet designs you will be wow’d with how great these patterns are.

Whether knit or crocheted, homemade afghan patterns can really set the mood to a room. These designs can make a room pop with color and be the perfect accent you’ve been looking for. From the Bright Stripes Baby Afghan to the Crochet Squares Throw, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re just learning how to crochet or you’ve been crocheting your whole life, you will find a pattern to work on. This eBook from Lion Brand is for all skill levels and can be downloaded right now!

If you love curling up on the couch to make a crocheted afghan or even a knit afghan then download this book today. The Most Popular Patterns for Afghans: 16 Knit & Crochet Afghan Patterns from Lion Brand will keep your hook happy for many months to come!

    I love to Crochet because I find it easier to work with one needle. Rather then the 2 required for Knitting.

    I prefer to crochet afghans. I know how to knit and purl, but with all the different crochet stitches, like double treble, you can get a lot more height per row. Your project gets completed much faster.

    I do both knit and crochet, it depends on the pattern and how fast I want it done.

    I much prefer crocheting to knitting. Crocheting just seems to move faster. I really like the look of a knitted item, but it takes much too long to knit anything worthwhile!

    I crochet and knit but for afghans it has to be crochet. The work is easier to handle when I crochet and easier to see as you work rather than gathered to keep work on knitting needles, but then there are other things that are far better suited to knitting (phew). I was almost torn then! 😉

    I Crochet anything but afghans are great gifts! I still have the first afghan I ever made 35 yrs ago! I gave it to my mom who has since passed and now i have it back. Although it isn’t in good shape, and looks like a first project, I can’t seem to let go of it!

    I knit and crochet but definitely prefer to crochet especially afghans. I can see the results much quicker! Mainly I use a 5mm hook and DK yarn. Most of the work I do is for charity so I can get much more done this way. I really appreciate the access to free patterns – it keeps me sane having a wide variety to choose from, always something different, and thought provoking in relation to colour choices.

    I knit and crochet and have worked afghans in both. I prefer crochet because I think it makes a sturdier product that holds it shape in use. Think of the favorite knit sweater and the way the stitches can stretch if you pushed on it (like someone’s foot stretching the afghan would). So if I’m making the afghan to be just cute and gently used, knit is good. However, if it will be a well used item, crochet is my choice.

    I’ve crocheted more afghans than knit, it’s faster, and there’s less to lose when you’ve only got one loop on a hook instead of dozens (hundreds, if you’re working it in one piece). Can’t tell you how many times I’ve attempted to move the needle tip up out of the loops and ended up pulling the loops off the needle instead!

    That said, my current project is a garter-stitch wheelghan, and I’ve always wanted to do a Dutch tile afghan.

    Scarves are the other way around, I’ve knit maybe a half dozen, but only crocheted one. And that because it was a scarf/hat set I was making for the fair.

    There are so many beautiful knit patterns but since I never learned to knit it would be crocheted. I have made so many crocheted afghans–some used so much there wore out–some given to chemo pts.Making one now to use up my smaller pieces of yarn. turning out nice.

    I am kind of torn between the two, I have three BEAUTIFUL knitted afgans in the house and then I have a crocheted one. The knitted ones are beautiful to look at but not as warm and crocheted ones… so I guess in the summer the knitted wins and in the winter it is all crocheted!
