What stitch makes an interesting pattern for a crocheted Christmas afghan?
I am working on an afghan for my daughter for Christmas, and want something a little different for its pattern. I have Afghans Patterns worked many afghans in granny square pattern, but I am thinking of maybe using an alternating shell stitch and double crochet in rows, with colors green and white. I am undecided though, and would love to hear of any interesting afghan patterns that have made an eye-catching impression. I will consider all suggestions, and thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

well you have already picked your color pattern and you’re choosing one stitch so you’re using all garter stitch. so just pick the yarn you want and start knitting, since its you’re third afghan you already know how many stitches you’ll cast on and how big you want it. there is a beautiful baby blanket with that sort of stripe pattern that i really love if you want to know what yarn that pattern uses i can include a link. it’s extremely soft.http://spinningsandy.blogspot.com/2006/06/gotta-touch-it-baby-blanket.html

Three things, I have a book and will have to look it up and you can see if you can find it or I would have to type it out for you as I don’t know how to scan and send it to you or copy it and mail it. I also have a pattern for a broomstick lace that is similar but you have an edge and won’t have to worry about how to fasten the top off. e-mail meEDIT I am sorry I did not know how short the directions were so here goes.Crochet hook F or 58 oz sport yarn [or baby yarn]3″ hairpin loomGauge: 5 sc per inchNOTE: Yarn is worked double throughout. Each loop has two strands of yarn which will be referred to as a SINGLE LOOP. Make 14 strips of 120 Single Loops on on each side of the loom. Join Single Loops by pulling 2 single loops through 2 single loops always starting at the same end and working from right side. Fasten last 2 single loops securely. Finish sides by pulling 2 single loops through2 single loops. Weave in all ends. EDGING – - -Make a strip of hairpin lace long enough to go around four sides of blanket allowing a little extra for fullness at corners. It is better to have too much as it can be pulled out. Finish one side of this strip by pulling 2 single loops through 2 single loops. This side will be sewed to the edge of the blanket. Leave single loops on the other side loose to form fringes. This may be cut if desired.

Granny squares were popular for afghans, ponchos and vests during the hippie era. They are easy to make and stitch together. You can use any color(s) that you like and consider to be retro. The patterns are basically all the same, so if you google “granny squares afghan crochet pattern.” You can make as many squares as you like to make any size afghan you want.Have fun!Smiles, Sue

The shell stitch is easy, dense (so it’s warm), and very dramatic done in just 2 colors, when you alternate colors each row. I made one in green and cream, and on one side it looked green with a little cream, and the other was cream with a little green – VERY effective and VERY easy. It’s wonderful done in your choice of any 2 Christmas colors.Here’s a link to an example of the pattern I like.http://crochet.about.com/library/blsolidshell.htmEnjoy!
