Animal-themed blankets make wonderful projects with large and small designs crocheted into projects such as blankest, afghans or throw rugs. Favorite animals are a great way to motivate beginners to start crocheting – who wouldn’t want a blanket with their favorite criter? You could also make these a CAL project for your own home… so much better than having them sit in front of the TV. That aside, they are wonderful of and in themselves, and you will enjoy putting these projects together for their own sake.
Fox in the Woods Afghan Free Crochet Pattern
The Fox in the Woods afghan is a wonderful example of how you could make a very complex design using a “pixellated” and geometric technique. The fox itself is a wonderfully lively beastie with a very alert and remarkably “fox-like” appearance and this is done on a beautiful, dense background that will cover and highlight any surface you grace it with, be it a floor or furniture.
