This crochet afghan will keep you warm and make cold weather so much more enjoyable!
Check out this Crochet Corner-to-Corner Throw Pattern from Red Heart Yarn! This makes a great free crochet afghan pattern for the intermediate crocheter.
One of the biggest advantage of C2C patterns is that you start in a corner, increase until you like the size of the blanket, and then begin decreasing. This is a recipe for mindless crochet you can do while listening to an audiobook or your favorite TV show.
The C2C method also means your project size is totally customizeable. You can make a coaster, dishcloth, baby blanket, throw, or a king sized blanket! It's a fantyastic method for using up scrap yarn, too.
I'd also suggest it's easier to maintain gauge with C2C patterns. Inconsistencies are less obvious.
Enjoy learning this method and creating beautiful new projects! It's addictive!
