    I do them all the time. Looking for something different. I made her one of those back when her sister had brain cancer.

    And it's customizable!

    Good luck, and sorry to hear about your friend!

    Good morning,
    Sorry to hear about your friend. I have had to make quick afghans in the past, too. I really like making the single crochet, chain one pattern, but I don't know what the stitch is called. I have also made afghans with the moss stitch,
    and seed stitch and they are really beautiful when completed and fast to complete with worsted weight or bulky yarns. Good luck.

    Hi! Sorry about your friend. I made an afghan for my grown up son like this- chain as long as you want width. Sc in second ch from hook. Then DC in next chain,alternate singles and doubles across. If you end with single ,ch 2 and turn. If you end with double ,chain one and turn. Crochet singles in doubles of previous row and doubles in singles. You can change colors or not,whatever you like. I used up leftover yarn from other projects. The edges came out nice and straight so no border needed if you don't want to put one on. Hope you find a pattern to suit your needs.

    Hi imalefty,
    I made a 6 inch square w/ your directions above for the afghan. I like how it looks.

    Jean Marie-How nice of you to take the time to check out the stitches! I was so pleased with the afghan I made.The texture was good while not being difficult I thought. Thanks for showing interest!

    That sounds interesting. I will give it a try for next afghan. I already started a ripple afghan and am getting close to having the size I want it to be.
