This full size afghan crochet blanket, with its modern design, is a classic that you can be proud to own or gift for a special friend, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, any gardener or flower lover in your life. The finished blanket is sure to be a favorite for snuggling because it is LONG with a chin to toe length (even for very tall people). The neutral floral design will fit almost any home decor. It’s classy and subtle, a simply beautiful pattern.

The pattern features easy stitches and plenty of Pro Tips included in the Notes Section with the pattern to help you get started and easily whip up this beautiful throw blanket. The pattern uses both intarsia and tapestry techniques that are easy to master as you start with the simplest part and move along to the sunflower head.

This will be super washable and durable when made with acrylic yarn.
