The Fields and Furrows Afghan pattern by Crochet 365 Knit Too is an easy and fun project with a modern look. Using your favorite colors, you can easily customize this blanket and make a project that matches your interiors perfectly.
Materials and Yarn Recommendations
The pattern works best with medium-weight yarn with beautiful color transitions, such as Caron Cakes. These self-striping yarns give you a colorful look without lots of ends to weave in. But if you like more control over colors, you can switch colors at the end of each row.
The finished size is about 50” by 64”, but you can easily change it by adding more stitches or rows. A 5 mm crochet hook is suggested to keep the pattern’s texture neat.
Stitches Used in This Pattern
This crochet striped afghan is so eye-catching because of its rich texture. Despite using some special stitches, it will be a great project for advanced beginners and intermediate crocheters.
One key technique is the double crochet cross stitch, which is a variation of the basic double crochet. Another important stitch is the bobble stitch, which adds little bumps to the fabric.
These techniques create a pattern that’s easy to remember and fun to work on.
Finishing for a Clean Look
Adding a simple border will make your blanket look polished. Start with a round of single crochet, working evenly along the edges and placing three single crochets in each corner to keep it square.
After finishing the border, weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle. You can also block the afghan to even out the stitches and improve the texture.
