Trophy Afghan Free Vintage Crochet Pattern

This afghan is called Trophy and is a vintage pattern from my own collection. You can find the pattern HERE. It is a pattern in the public domain and as such I believe should always be made free. So if you every come across a vintage pattern you're thinking of buying, please google it first, you may be able to find it free some place else.

The afghan measures 50" X 72" and calls for Red Heart yarn which is still widely available so you shouldn't have any problems in making this afghan.

I like how the chevron pattern is broken up with a multi colored yarn. I don't know about you, but I always struggle to use that type of yarn. It looks so good in the skein, but often doesn't look as lovely once you have crochet it.

Free Poncho Crochet Patterns From Donna's Crochet Designs

The first pattern in my set of three picks is a Granny Square Poncho. Pattern here.

The squares are made with thread and then sewn together to make the poncho. It's a great take along project and because it is made with thread it's light in weight and can be worn throughout the year.

The next is a poncho made using both #4 yarn and chunky chenille thread. It is in larger sizes for ladies: L-XXL. It is done in alternating rows of sold crochet and loops so it can be worn year round too!. You can find the pattern here.

The last of the tree is this turtle neck shorty poncho. You can find the pattern here.

Great project to use chunky yarns. You can wear the collar up.

Or wear the collar down. It's a great pattern for the beginner.

Enjoy!
