It may look complicated, but if you see how this blanket is made, you will surely want to give it a try. Based on double crochet stitches, I bet it will quickly become your favourite.

Double Strapped Slippers
Double duty! Straps make for a better fit, but are also nicely combined with the stripy pattern. This is a unique design that will be great fun to make.

Chunky Feather and Fan Afghan
The Chunky Afghan is thick but airy. You can wrap it around yourself while sitting in your favourite chair and enjoy the evening chill. It is a fun project to complete so I hope this pattern will become one of your favourites.
Also, the blanket size is adjustable, so that you can make this as big as you want. I would also encourage you to play around with colors. There’s just so much room for customization there.

Beautiful Shell Afghan
We haven’t looked at a square-based pattern yet, so I’d like to fix this glaring omission now. Thus, here is one such project. Start by crocheting small squares and join them together into a blanket when you have enough of them. You can customize your afghan by choosing different colors and arranging the squares in various patterns.
Elsewise, you can incorporate squares made using a different pattern… or even of a different size – so long as the sizes are even multiples of one another. However, this shell square is still one of my favorites.

Stashaholic’s Brain Dead Afghan
Looking beyond the très amusant name, this is a lovely afghan pattern with a gorgeous, shingled texture. The pattern is designed to use up an existing yarn stash, instead of buying a bunch of new stock. Of course, the reason we would use up the yarn stash is so that we can buy more yarn, which may make the last point a bit self-defeating.

Rambling Market Bag
This lacy market bag has a beautiful lacy chevron pattern and the pastel colors give it a romantic vibe. Cassandra May`s pattern is knitted in a round using either double pointed or circular needles. It is definitely a great market bag to try even if you are a beginner.
