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!

 She uses a doll head and hands you can find at most craft stores and left over size 10 crochet threads.

 I used size 10 crochet threads, just the odds and ends I had on hand. It really doesn't take much to make her.

 Here wings are sewn to her jacket.

I made her using doll head and hands you can get at most craft stores. Her arms are glued into the bottom of the blue sleeve, then the mixed blue sleeve is added and sewn to the doll.

She would look good done in different colors and put on a wreath or the tree. She would also make a good teacher gift or decoration for a present.

Free Acorn Hat, Scarf and Purse Crochet Pattern From Donna's Crochet Designs

 The first in this set of three patterns is the Acorn Purse. I used Homespun brand yarns and mixed two colors to get this unique look. I also appliqued on acorns and leaves to get a nice fall feel to the project.

 Here is the Acorn Hat. Any heavy weight yarn will work just as well as the Homespun did. I just happened to have this one hand and thought it time to use it.

Here is the last pattern in the set: Acorn Scarf. Normally I try to publish my free patterns separately and then forget to let you all know about the second or third so I decided to do them all at one time.
The set would make a great gift. You know that time of year is just around the corner!
