Roses Remembered Afghan
A crocheted Afghan with Roses Remembered floral patterns is displayed flat on the left and draped over a sofa on the right, showcasing its intricate beauty.

This afghan pattern by Terry Kimbrough makes use of a beautiful, mesh-like stitching with a wavy edge to form the background for 3D, prominently raised roses. This highly textured piece can be made in many colors, but we feel that the monochrome rendition in the first picture is particularly beautiful. This will definitely be a great addition to any interior or an heirloom present!

Materials & Yarn Choices

The pattern requires working this crochet blanket with worsted weight yarn and a 5.5 mm hook. As with most afghan projects, acrylic fibers will work best, giving it a soft, cozy feel without adding too much bulk. Lion Brand Pound of Love makes a great choice for the blanket body.

You can use your favorite yarn or get inspired by Liliya777’s version of the project, highlighting rose motifs with delicate pastel colors.

Making the Afghan: Panels, Borders & Assembly

The Roses Remembered Afghan is constructed from 24 solid squares and 24 squares with textural rose motifs. Once the required number of pieces is complete, you need to assemble them in 6 vertical straps of 8 squares each. Join first the squares and then strips using the slip stitch method.

After that, you can start working the two-round border using clusters and picots.

FAQ

Is Roses Remembered Afghan for intermediate crocheters?

This crochet afghan pattern is best for intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with working lace stitches, 3D motifs, and assembling panels.

Can I simplify the pattern without roses?

Yes, you can omit the flowers for a textured afghan with classic panels only. However, the three-dimensional rose motifs are the main highlight of the design and add much of its charm. Skipping them will result in a more minimalist style.

What size is the finished blanket?

The finished throw size is 47″ x 61″ when made with suggested materials. You can adjust its measurements by adding or removing panels.
