Marine Corps afghan

[Mrs. P]

You're welcome! Thank you for the quick response & information. I forgot to ask how do you read the pattern I've never worked with one like this before, is there a link or something so I can learn what to do?

Thank you for your time!

Here's a wonderful video that explains how to crochet a graph.

I have this Marine Corp pattern I made for my son in law,
it's a more intricate design and it's really huge,
the size of a full size bed.

Beautiful-what kind of yarn did you use? I want to make my first one in blanket yarn but am unable to find indo on a graphgan in a blanket weight yarn. Thank you

I used average worsted weight yarn, probably Red Heart.
If you use thicker yarn the details won't be as visible
because you'll have less stitches.

Mrs P,

..... I wouldn't say I'm experienced just yet. I taught myself to crochet two years ago and wasn't able to crochet for over a year do to a back injury. But I have started again and it makes me so happy......

Glad you found crochet. I have been at it for 50 years and still love it as much as ever.

[QUOTE=Dorell;124560]Mrs P,

You are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. Would you mind if I posted t on Ravelry with a link that directs them to here so that other people can make this? It took me a very long time to find a pattern that I loved and wanted to make. I made the blanket with a few changes and will be giving it to my son when he graduates boot camp in April. I added his name and the date he will complete the crucible and become a Marine. I can't wait to give it to him. I have also written up the pattern so if you would like me to share that then let me know. Take care and again your work is amazing.

Dorell (A very proud Marine Mom)
