Crochet: I love this floral granny square afghan

Home Garden Flower Afghan

I’ve been working on a Yo-yo flower afghan for the past few months, but I’ve avoided crocheting granny square afghans…

Most of the ones I’ve seen, have looked nice but I wasn’t interested in making those. I wanted an afghan with lots of flowers, and the look I wanted… well, I wasn’t seeing.

I eventually knew I’d see a granny square afghan pattern that would be saying, “Come on Opal, crochet me!”

Well that’s happened…

A few days ago, Pammy posted this crocheted floral afghan on her site Scotty’s Place. I think it’s gorgeous. Look at all those flowers! We have a large and small flower gardens scattered around our property. So yes… it’s safe to say that I adore flowers.

I believe this week, I’ll learn how to make granny squares. Pammy was kind enough to send me a video tutorial of the joining method, and there’s always YouTube if I run into any issues. And… my mom is the queen of afghan making. So I should be set, right?

This week I’ll start on a small granny square project. Perhaps a granny square pillow?

Next, I’ll have to decide on the color scheme for this afghan. My colors will differ from the ones pictured in this photo. After that’s sorted, I’ll head to my local yarn store and purchase  the required yarn for the afghan. I’m actually excited about this crochet project. It should keep me occupied for a while.

Initially, I was trying to decide who should I give the completed floral afghan too? But, the more I think about it… I believe I’ll keep the first one. It most likely will grace my daughter’s bed. She loves bright colors as much as myself, so there’ll be plenty of those colors on display with the first afghan.

The second one I crochet will be gifted to someone special. I just don’t know who will be the lucky recipient…
