Don’t have time to make an afghan, but really, really want to use your crochet skills?
A great alternative is to purchase either fleece fabric or a fleece blanket and add a crochet trim. It’s surprisingly easy to do and you need very, very few supplies. In fact you can usually do this with less than a skein of yarn (if you’re only using one color). Before I realized that folks really did this, I knew that my Mama Abuela used to make these really pretty crochet trim borders around burp cloths or bibs. I believe she used lace crochet thread.She gifted them for new babies and I have to say they were absolutely stunning! I had the pleasure of watching her make these when I was a little girl. Years, later this still fascinates me! Unfortunately, I don’t have the patience to deal with thread. But, I do love yarn very much.
These are really simple to make! Just click below to see how:
