Modern Crochet Afghans: Color & Texture

Meet Salena Baca and begin class by working the vibrant Massapequa afghan. Salena shares her tips for choosing a gorgeous color combination, even if picking colors is hard for you! Then, she walks you through the pattern repeats and standard sizes, and shows how easy it is to make a custom size.

Put your hook to yarn and start working a surprisingly simple two row repeat. Then, learn how to make and attach a funky fringe border, and use Salena's alternate color ideas to spark your imagination.

Move on to your next beautiful project, the gradient-inspired Color Block afghan. You'll find out to work the four-row repeat with post stitches to create a dense, warm fabric that's ideal for the comforting color harmonies.
