This simple and quick afghan is part of my Decorating Your Home with Crochet series!!!  Touch of Teal Afghan is my first project made exclusively for this series to decorate my new home… Teal, beige and white are the color scheme for my new bedroom… Stay tuned for more crochet decor in this room.. Of course~ I do have some previously made doilies made by myself and my grandmother(Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw) decorating this room… When the room is done, I will post a full story along with the pictures of everything crochet in this room!!!

Now to the Touch of Teal Afghan… This is a super easy crochet pattern using only front loop single crochet and back loop double crochet to create the base… The edging is a simple shell pattern.  Using  a super bulky yarn, this really goes quickly!!!

Let’s get started decorating our homes!!!!

Materials~

Yarn: 1050 yards of super bulky(size 6) yarn. In this pattern I used Michael’s Loops and Threads Country Loom Yarn in Clear Skies. It took 10 skeins.. But, one reason I love Michael’s.. They have great yarn pricing and coupons!!!!This Week's Coupon at Michaels.com

 

 

 

Hook: N

Stitches~

Size~

105″ x 40″   ** This design is very stretchy so the afghan will be able to cover a much larger area.

*Tip ~

Even rows are the right side.

Instructions~

Chain 131

Row 1:  Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across. = 130 sc

Row 2:  Ch 3(Counts as Dc now and throughout), turn, bl dc in each st across.= 130 dc

Edging~

Row 2:  Ch 5(counts as trc + ch 1), turn, (trc, ch1, trc, ch 1, trc) all in the same st, sk 2 sts, sc in next st, sk 2 sts, *(trc, ch1, trc, ch1, trc, ch1, trc, ch1, trc) in next st, sk 2 sts, sc in next st, sk 2 sts*, repeat *to* 13 more times,  (trc, ch1, trc, ch 1, trc) in last st. = 14 shells,  2 half shells & 15 sc
