Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern

Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern

You can create your own beautiful blanket using the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern.  This is a great scrap busting project!

Thank you for your interest in my Mae’s Flowers Crochet Pattern.  This is a project that has been in the works for over 25 years.  My gram started making these flowers for an Afghan back in 1994.  I inherited the Afghan when she passed away about 20 years ago.  It moved from house to house, taken out every once in a while, and I always said I was going to finish it and I have.

I decided I would write out the steps she did and turn it into a crochet pattern.  I took the flowers apart to learn the stitches she used, so I could make my own.  This pattern is dedicated to Gram.  She was a very important part of my life.   I hope you enjoy making the Mae’s Flowers too!  

 

The afghan can be made in a solid color or a variety of colors as you like.  The flowers use such a small amount of yarn that you can use up ALL of that Scrap Yarn you have laying around!

You can find the premium copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Crochet Pattern for $5 at my Ravelry Store.  Inside the PDF copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan crochet pattern there are a lot of extra goodies for Right & Left Handed crocheters.
