Welcome to my Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan CAL!! The Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan CAL starts today, May 10th and runs until May 31, 2022. This is a FREE Crochet-a-Long and we will be making a Throw Size Afghan.
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!
You can now purchase the Mae’s Flower Garden Crochet Pattern for $3 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.
