History behind the Design
The design came about because I have had an Afghan my Gram started over 25 years ago using a flower she designed. In 2022 I finally decided to take one of her flowers apart from her Afghan. I wanted to see how she made it so I could finish her Afghan.
Because I loved her flower design so much that I decided to create the Maes Flower crochet pattern. I was able to finish my Gram’s Afghan. Also, my Gram’s Afghan was so easy to put together, that I decided to create another crochet, which I then turned into the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan crochet pattern in honor of my Gram.
