Christmas Afghans and Pillows Crochet Pattern

Christmas Afghans and Pillows Crochet Pattern

These gorgeous afghans will be great to snuggle under this cold winter.  Here are two spirited takeoffs on the granny square afghan, and they are the best carry-along craft projects ever.  The novelty with teh Poinsettia Afghan and the Blanket of Snowflakes is that you crochet the main image right into the larger background motif.  (This makes it unlikely that the motifs will pull off with wear.)  The Blanket of Snowflakes demonstrates a striking use of the hexagon motif, with a great scalloped edge resulting from the assembly.
