One of the best ways to be creative is to crochet afghans without a pattern.
While this is something for the intermediate or advanced crocheter, it can be taken on by anybody.
- Start with stripes
Stripes are the easiest to create without a pattern – it’s just a matter of making a line and keeping the stitches in line.
Stripes look great with any materials that work together, and they’re a great way to start into the world of crocheting without a pattern.
- Move up to Granny Squares
Granny squares are the next simplest method, and give the look of an old fashioned patchwork quilt.
They can be made quickly, and are easy to line up across the entire piece.
- Try pattern stitches
Popcorn stitches, shell stitches, or V-stitches are all ways to try out different patterns to see how they work together.
By trying new techniques, you’ll be making your own patterns and crochet afghans in no time!
