An afghan is always a practical item around the home and is often used for many years. Do you have some leftover yarns lying around something in your storage? If so, why not use Scraps Afghan Baby Blanket Free Crochet Pattern to convert throw-away yarn into something so beautiful. It uses single and double crochet and a shell pattern to create the look of hearts. This would also be cute as a baby afghan done in pastels. Happy crocheting.
