New Champagne Blush Chevron Afghan Crochet Pattern Release

Champagne Blush Chevron Afghan Release


It's time for a new afghan release, don't you think?  I have always loved the combination of Pink, Gray and White.  There is just something calming and comforting about those 3 colors together and I've wanted to create a design with them for quite a while.

Champagne Blush Chevron Afghan with Sprightly yarn

from: Craftsy
This past summer, I was able to work with Craftsy on creating a few Christmas tree skirt and afghan crochet pattern kits using their Sprightly yarn line.  I had never worked with it before and was excited to try it out.  When it comes to yarn shopping, I like being hands on.  I like to see it in person and touch it and squeeze it and run my fingers through it to see what it's going to feel like as an afghan.  I don't want to order a bunch of yarn only to have it be scratchy and stiff.  I'm here to tell you - Sprightly Acrylic is wonderful!  It has a good thickness to it but it's soft and flexible to work with.  If you haven't tried it yet, you really should!  

I've been designing a bunch of afghans with texture lately and really wanted this color combo to be light and have a good drape to it. You all know how I love chevrons so that was my first instinct.  However, sometimes it's nice to have the chevron look but have a solid, squared off border so you don't have all those ups and downs on the ends.  With the Champagne Blush Chevron Afghan crochet pattern, you get the best of both worlds!
I loved how this turned out and my daughter instantly asked if she could give this one to her teacher for Christmas.  I hope she likes it!

I hope you love it too.  I've set up a special offer just for my blog and email subscribers.  Use code CFDBLUSH at checkout on Ravelry to receive 60% off this pattern through Sunday 9/17/17.  While you're there, be sure to add it to your favorites!
