While a whole project done in a single technique is generally a preferable way of designing most patterns for blankets or afghans, some projects come off spectacularly well by mixing and matching. It’s also a great way to practice all the stitches you know and how to make transitions between them. Aside from that, you will end up with gorgeous, funky and wildly beautiful projects that are sure to bring a smile.
Study of Transition Free Crochet Pattern
The first pattern is a case study of transitioning techniques as an art form. It uses two types of them, namely between colors and between textures, forcing you to really work on your color and technique combining skills. The end result is a very colorful, multi-textured project that you can make as coordinated or eclectic as you wish. Go on, treat yourself to a little whimsy and mix-n-match fun.
