When you think about vintage afghans the granny probably is the
first afghan that comes to mind and then the classic ripple. In
this book I have put a new twist on these two vintage afghan
styles. The four afghans in this book are my interpretation of
these classic designs. The afghan patterns in this book are
suitable for beginners but you should already know some basic
crochet stitches and terminology before trying these afghans. The
Lacy Ripple afghan is an easy V-Stitch pattern that is quick to
make with a size K hook. The afghan looks complicated but it's
really a very simple pattern. A photo tutorial is included for
beginners. Granny Waves is crocheted in the classic granny style
shell pattern. This pattern is a very easy scrap afghan made all in
one piece so there isn't any sewing together. Once you learn the
pattern it's a great afghan to crochet while watching TV not to
mention using up those scrap yarns. I've included lots of photos
for beginners. Hexagon Granny Ripple combines the granny and ripple
patterns together into a kaleidoscope of beautiful color. The easy
hexagon granny's are first crocheted then they are sewn together to
form rows. A granny style ripple is then crocheted to either side
of the hexagon strips. Geometric Granny Stripe is a very simple
afghan to crochet. This afghan is crocheted in colorful strips and
then a border is added. The strips are then sewn together and a
final border is crocheted around the entire afghan. This pattern is
great for using up small amounts of scrap yarns.
