Emily's Afghan

Back in January, my niece Sarah had her first baby, Emily (just like my mother's name!)
I crocheted a pretty afghan to welcome her to the family.


I used Caron's Simply Soft yarn in this lilac with an accent of white stripes.



Before sent it off to Washington, I let my babydoll model it, wrapped in warmth against the winter cold.



The pattern is one I modified from an afghan I found on Pinterest. It's a row of two double crochet / chain stitch, followed by a row of single crochet / 2 chain stitches. In the white rows, I substituted two single crochets for the doubles. It makes for a nice cohesive pattern.
