The Waterlily Throw is a circular afghan with lots of color and texture, ready for cozying up with this winter! And it's a free crochet blanket pattern on Moogly! The Waterlily Throw was sort of a “doodling” pattern for me. I picked a color scheme and decided I wanted a round afghan… and just started crocheting, letting the stitch pattern develop as I went, listening to how the stitches and colors worked together. I was inspired by the Waterlily colorway of Red Heart With Love! These lovely hues create a beautiful palette - and changing them will lead to lots of different looks with this pattern, which is half the fun!

Planned Pooling Crochet Throw
This is a large throw/afghan that is made using the multi-sequence color pooling technique. Then a beautiful solid color border is added to really frame the beautiful argyle look of the throw. I love the soft shades of this super saver colorway combined with the matching solids. Once you get the hang of pooling and set up the number of color sequence repeats you want for the throw this blanket works up rather quickly. Choose any variegated pooling yarn and a coordinating solid and make a throw for yourself.
Granny Hexagon Afghan
Instead of the typical granny square afghan pattern, check out this Granny Hexagon Afghan, which uses hexagons instead of crochet granny squares. The fun shapes and patterns create an eye-catching design that will brighten up your home. Use this crochet afghan as a throw on your couch or for the warmth you desire in the winter around the fire. Keep it laying around during the spring months, too, since the hexagons create a floral look that is a reminder of the new life in springtime. This crochet granny square afghan would look stunning in any color scheme you picked.
Jagged Scrap Yarn Afghan
For this project you will need: HOOK: 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US YARN: All the scrap yarn colors were worsted weight yarn 4 ply US, 10 ply AU Also the Off white color I used in between as well. I was able to get 10 rows of Off white before I had to change to a new skein. I used 2 and a 1/2 skeins of it, but I didn't make a border. If you wish to, then I would grab a third. I didn't want to use much of this color because it's a scrap yarn afghan and don't want you to have to go get more yarn. About the color pattern Since this pattern uses scrap yarn, I won't be telling you which colors to use. I used this color wheel to help me organize my color choices. I've never been a fan of the mixed color of scrap yarn afghans so I decided to do mine in a more organized fashion starting with my Maroons, Reds, Oranges, Browns, Yellows, Golds, Greens, Blues, Purples, Pinks and back to the beginning of the color list. Feel free to go with what feels right to you. This Jagged Scrap yarn afghan is made using a stitch I discovered while playing around with yarn. I don't know why all my discovered stitches mostly use two stitches to create and this one is no different. Lol. But other than the butterfly stitch this one is surely the most easiest one to recreate! Let me take you step by step on how to make this stitch so you can use it in making your own scrap yarn afghan to use up some of your left over wool.
Changing Tides Throw
This gorgeous throw features some great texture and mesmerizing colour changes! Made with Caron Simply Soft yarn, this blanket is a great weight and length, perfect for cozying up under on a colder day or night. The stitch featured in the pattern is the alpine stitch. The stitch pattern is worked alternating double crochet and front post double crochet stitches. Other stitches you will see in this blanket include the single crochet and half double crochet stitches. The design is worked in rows and made up of 12 blocks that are crocheted together at the finish."
Basic C2c Chunky Afghan
"This crochet pattern is for a basic, chunky, beautifully textured corner to corner afghan. Worked in two strands of worsted weight yarn (or one strand of chunky weight yarn), this cozy afghan works up fairly quickly. My afghan is worked in a solid color, but you could use some Caron Cakes yarn (or similar) for an easy, colorful afghan, or change colors as you see fit. For my blanket, I used about 8.33 (1/3) Skeins of Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in the Ivory colorway (two strands held together). In it's place, you could use one strand of chunky/bulky (#5) yarn. Take a gauge. If you don't mind a slight difference in measurements, gauge isn't essential. You could even go up a hook size, and use super bulky yarn for a larger blanket. This afghan took me just over 11 hours to work up."
