Afghan 86

I am finally starting to rebuild my baby afghan gift stash! I started this afghan under duress, having left my current afghan and ergonomic crochet hook at work, but needing and wanting something to do to keep my hands busy. I picked this pattern because it seemed simple, and easy, and it was! This afghan worked up a bit more slowly than some others, due to the single crochet stitch, but I liked it.

I started out with the Red Heart royal yarn because it was all I had. I added the white when it ran out. I liked the way the stripes looked, so I kept at it. I think the navy and white have kind of a coastal vibe.

I used a different hook for this afghan, a handle into which the crocheter inserts her own hook. I had not figured out how to use it when my friend gifted it to me, but after reading and re-reading the instructions, I got it. After making an entire afghan with this hook, I think it might be my go-to for future projects! All in all, I thank God that this was a more enjoyable afghan to crochet this time around!
