If you know how to crochet a basic granny square this afghan and matching pillow are very easy to make. After crocheting the pillow squares together with black yarn, I took a measurement of both panels. I used my sewing machine and made the inside case from white muslin, left one end open and stuffed it with polyester fiberfill, then sewed the end closed. Then I crocheted a fancy border around the pillow and left one wide end open so I could stuff in the pillow form. Then continued with the fancy border and finished off the pillow.
The afghan and pillow look very much like a stained glass window. Finished Afghan: 43 1/2 inches x 60 inches. Size-G hook

I made this afghan up in just a couple of weeks choosing my own color combination. The main stitch used is double crochet (dc) and a multiple of ten chains between (dc) groups of ten.

Has anyone ever made a crocheted afghan with bulky yarn? I am presently making one for my twin bed. As it gets larger it is heavy to work with, but I bet it will keep you very warm. I'm using many different stitches on it too. I am wondering if anyone else used different stitches on one.

I have two patterns for afghans that you crochet one row at a time and cut your yarn and start another row to form a design. I would like to know if anyone has this type of crochet pattern or an old Annie's design.
I have a few afghans that are very plain and they need some fancying up. I have the idea to weave in yarn into the afghan. I have no desire to unravel the yarn and make a new one. Any suggestions on how to do this? Any other ideas?
Thanks!

You will simply need the desired yarn and a plastic needle. I use these and they work great. You can get bigger if you want to use larger or bulkier yarn, but you probably would stretch the stitch out.
I am looking for the directions to a crocheted afghan pattern from the early 80s. It is titled Aran Isle and is made in blocks. The magazine page I have says Institute Needlework and Sewing Center. It was probably published in McCalls magazine. The picture is on page 154. The directions started on page 288 and continued on page 290 which I don't have.

Living in Ireland I had to reply to your question. Google.. Aran island crochet & knitting patterns., you will find almost every pattern there for Aran island designs. Good luck.
I am trying to locate a pattern for a domino afghan that appeared in 1969 in the Pittsburg Post. I have included the link for the photograph of the afghan. (View Photo Here)

The pattern is from --A Bouquet of Bernat Afghans To Knit and Crochet in beautiful "Berella" Book 160.
I found a copy of it for sale here: www.buggsbooks.com/
I'm looking for an crochet afghan pattern for my son who is an avid hunter. I've checked some of the free patterns sites, and I may just use a pattern with camo yarn. But I would love to have something with deer or other hunting related design. Thanks!
Here's a google search for camo yarn:

I made my younger adult son a pull-over hat out of camy yarn for Christmas & he just loved it!.... If I were you, I'd use "camo" yarn!... As for a deer blanket: You can buy a "panel" with a deer in the woods of fleece fabric & give that to him too! The camouflage pattern looks great bordered in black!
---> Another idea: You might want to make a "Navaho" type of crochet design. (There are many free paterns for these!) I know my adult sons love Native American blankets & many things native American.
* BTW: I bought my camouflage yarn at Walmart.
