You can crochet a Pattern Sampler afghan that looks like this one, or customize your own afghan design using different crocheted squares, colors, motifs and an edging.
It’s amazing what you can find for free on the Internet. Case in point: check out all these lovely afghan patterns, many (but not all) of which are free. The list includes patterns for just about any kind of afghan you can think of. I’ve contributed several of the free patterns on this list, including the pattern sampler afghan you see pictured above. I’m hoping to get some more crocheted afghans completed ASAP.
Crocheted Squares for Making Afghans and Other Projects — I’ve posted free crochet patterns for making most of these afghan squares at KnittingandCrochet.net.
Pictured above: For several months, I’ve been working on designing new crocheted squares that will eventually become an afghan. This is my latest work-in-progress photo. I’ve uploaded free patterns for most of these afghan squares, although I still have to create the free charts for several of them. You are invited to subscribe to my free crochet newsletter if you would like to be notified when the rest of them are available.
