Last night, I finished the Santa Fe Afghan.
I like how it turned out.
It's a very basic, simple design. No fuss. Just stark lines. Pops of color.
I took this photo with my phone, so all of that isn't shining through very well.
The colors are Soft White, Carrot, Dark Sage, Ranch Red and Cafe Latte. All are Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I used 3 of the huge skeins of Soft White and one regular skein of each of the other colors. I had some of each color left over.
I used a size I crochet hook.
I hope you all enjoy my new pattern. I had fun making it and hope you will too!
The Santa Fe Afghan - Free Pattern
Skill Level - Easy
Stitches Used - chain (ch) and double crochet (dc)
Materials Needed:
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Soft White, Cafe Latte, Barn Red, Dark Sage, and Carrot

NOTE: This afghan is made in two strips then joined down the middle. Or, you can use the Dottie Angel method of joining as you go. I actually prefer this method. You can learn all about it by clicking here http://dottieangel.blogspot.com/2010/06/ordinarily-extraordinary-blanket-how-to.html.
