afghan 5 - park slope

 

 
 

afghan_park_slope_navy

In this version of our popular Baby Sampler Afghan (there are 5 stitch substitutions that are different from the baby afghan). We used Berroco Yarn—Pure Merino

There are 30 different pattern stitches, made in 5 strips of 6 patterns each. The strips are crocheted together, following very easy instructions.

After completing this afghan you will never fear pattern stitches again.

For an exceptional treasured wedding gift, we have seen it worked in ivory with squares 1 and 27 worked in stockinette stitch. When the afghan is finished, it is then professionally embroidered using silky white embroidery thread. Their monogram is embroidered in square 1, the date of their marriage in square 27.

This is a great gift to make for someone special. It will become a family heirloom.
