DIY 6-Hour Crochet Throw

 

 

There are very few things more comforting when cold weather hits than a comfy, cozy afghan. No matter how cold and dreary a day it might be outside, just knowing I’m only a few rooms away from a hot cup of tea, a great new book, and warm afghan always lifts my spirits. The only issue with Afghans? Their price tag. Sometimes in excess of over $100.00 in many retail stores!

 

So recently, when in need of a new afghan for my more minimalist, neutral master bedroom bedding, I decided to try my hand at making my own crochet version at home. Not only was I able to use several skeins of ethically-sourced yarn I had on hand, but I was able to make an afghan in just under six hours.

 

That’s right – you can crochet an entire 45″ x 60″ inch (114.5 x 152.5 cm) afghan in just one evening. So today I want to share with you this fun and frugal way to crochet an afghan throw.

 

Whether you drape this afghan over your living room couch, adorn the bottom of a cozy winter bed, or make up an afghan to give as a last-minute New Year’s Eve hostess gift, it is sure to get some use. The best part? This warm, chunky yarn afghan can be made while you catch up on your favorite television shows. Might I suggest Season 2 of Fuller House?

So without further ado, here’s what you will need to get started:

 

 

 

 

 

So that’s it, folks! How easy was that? A very basic pattern which turns into an extraordinary afghan.
