Free Afghan Patterns: Knit & Crochet

There are loads of free patterns on the net for afghans (in both knit and crochet), but you know me–I’m a bit fussy :) . Here are my favorite picks of what I’ve found online, and wow–many of these are gorgeous! There are a few throws and lapghans included but they’re easily adjusted to a fuller size if you want.

I’ve sorted all the goodies with knitting patterns in the top section and the bottom section lists crochet patterns. All are free with some patterns including a pdf to download. Enjoy!

Wave Blanket: Easy-to-memorize feather and fan pattern. Finished size is only approximately 33” by 39” so it’s perfect as a baby afghan, but add a few rows to make this into a lapghan if you wish. Knit pattern from Loop Knits.
