Free Crochet Pattern Large Stars & Stripes Afghan

      Here is a free afghan pattern I really like. I call it Large Stars & Stripes. You can see why.

                          The afghan is worked in sections and then the entire thing is sewn together.

                                        The colors used are navy, claret, soft white and cornmeal.

                            The center was designed and then all the other elements were added.

                                                                            Enjoy!

Ideas For Flag and Stars Garland

Here is my latest Christmas design:

I've gone Patrotic with this red, white and blue themed Flag and Stars Garland!

But you can do more with this than just make a garland for your tree, mantel or stair railing.
















You can turn the flag and stars into ornaments by using red, white and blue ribbon, knoting a loop at one end and gluing the flag or stars on.




You can also make decorations for the plants in your home by glueing ribbon onto 18" wooden skewere (found in most coooking isle of stores). Add chenille stems you wind around a pencil and then polk them down inside the plant.








They also make great package decorations or additions to wreaths!
